Amir Khan v Devon Alexander

[Kirkland Laing]

I think Alexander wins this and I'll be cheering for him. Alexander has not had things easy in his career. He's had a lot of tough fights and he's only lost to Bradley. He might not be the most exciting guy to watch but he's very good at what he does.

Khan is slipping fast. He almost managed to lose to a career lightweight journeyman last time out and Alexander is several levels better than Diaz. I'm actually hoping Khan gets KOd again. I don't think he deserves a fight against Floyd and I really hope it doesn't happen if he wins.

Alexander lost against Matthysse too.

They're still waffling about this fight going to Dubai but it'll probably end up in the States. I really hope Khan wins, especially if the winner faces Floyd, because Alexander-Floyd is about as shit as it gets.

What would Matthysse have done to Khan?

They never have big fights in Dubai. There are guys over there who are world class bullshitters when it comes to talking about putting fights on but they never come up with the money they promised. I don't want to watch either of them fight Floyd but I'd rather see Alexander get the payday. I think Floyd fights Martinez at 155 next anyway.

I think this is a terrible style for Khan at this point. Alexander doesn't mind stinking it out, can boil down a pace, mauls inside, headbutts and is fast handed. Fast shots Khan doesn't see coming do bad things to him and I could see him really being stuck between styles and highly frustrated with a guy like Alexander.

[Silkeyjoe]

Its a very close fight for me as Alexander has very little punching power. I think Khan will be slight fav with the bookies but I am making this a pickem fight so I will back Alexander if I get odds bigger then 5/4

Khan has a great chance against Matthysse.... of making it to the 2nd minute.

Yeah yeah the Dubai brigade. However, they have big sporting events now - Golf, Tennis, Horse Racing - and Richard Schaefer was over there waxing lyrical about the potential of holding a card there. Barry Hearn just held a Darts comp in an outdoor Tennis arena that was a success. One day a fight will happen there

I would have picked Khan few years ago but Im not too sure now. Getting knocked down by former lightweights like Diaz who was never known as a huge puncher isn't a good sign.

Khan is slipping fast and a new trainer isn't going to help.

Alexander may not be a puncher but he has enough pop to check that weak chin of Khan.

I dont like alexander but I pick him

[IamInuit]

I'd have to ride with Devon on this one. They are both mental cripples but Khan is more likely to fold when the going gets rough. He'd make a good spokes person for origami.
