Alexander by decision.

Anyone with me ?

I think a lot of people are underestimating Alexander due to his last performance.
Even at 23 I see Devon as being the more experienced of the two going 300-40 as an amatuer.
And 21-0 Pro.
His Amatuer Pedigree is the difference here.
I think if he can keep his composure and slow things down enough mentally he should be able to take advantage of the Openings Bradley leaves defensively while getting off offensively. If he gets behind a stiff stick he should be able to bait Tim and set traps when Tim comes in.
I like Tim a lot he's a conditioning Wizard but he's gotten away with a lot of fundamental flaws.
I don't want to go as far to say he's amatureish because his style has served its purpose thus far.
But he wings his shots and at times slaps like he's fighting under the amatuer pts style system.
Never really sitting on his punches or turning them over.
I think he's wide open for a Alexander uppercut on the inside and if devon can hook off of the uppercut its game over.
If Alexander pumps his jab and uses his straight left to get respect and distance. I feel he can alter Bradleys pace enough to get him get over anxious or feel a bit desperate and come in reckless enough to counter w/the uppercut and hook.
May the best fighter win.
Regardless I feel this is a good fight and the winner sits at the top.
