Can't see any value in Khan at all for this. 4/9 to win in a genuine close fight

Khan points is better value (5/6) as I don't see him stopping Devon at all. I'll probably be having it in an accumulator and hedge a few different outcomes in other fights.

Might have a gander at the odds for Khan, Korobov and Bradley all by points as a treble.

I think Khan will drop Devon and maybe pour it on; he's had time with the new trainer and has had time to adjust to the weight - I think he'll be a big welter and hit plenty hard at this weight at this time.

Will be competitive but i think khan beats him 8 or 9 times out of 10.

One consideration would be that defeat for alexander will be more harmful long term than it will for khan regarding elite level fights which may lead to devon opening up more than usual.

Interesting fight. Good on both for taking it.
:bow:

Khan vs Alexander is a really good fight. But not one I think I'd like to watch (at least, not live). Just a styles thing.

Thurman-Bundu should be all sorts of fun, imo: the Septic will come out & try & run him over, but if he's still upright past seven or so I think Bundu's handspeed & bodyshots might discomfit him; still not sold on Thurman & he punches too widely & is too open for my liking. Maybe it's just me but I see him & I can't help thinking "Kermit Cintron". Mind, he can definitely crack & he's a fvcking big welter, so now I've opened my trap expect Thurman to wallop him within seconds.

Damn good card, all in all.

PS: Is Bradley-Chaves on the same bill? UD for Bradley there methinks.

Devils advocate here. Has this not been said every time he's stepped up in weight?

Probably Freddy, I was impressed with how he dealt with Collazo - both how sturdy he was and the strength of his punches. Devon isn't a really big one shot puncher and I think Khan will outland him especially with power shots.

This is how i see it too. Although Alexander can land a shot out the blue and it could be curtains. I'm rooting for Khan, he seems an arse out the ring but he's courageous inside it.

alexander has trouble with short stocky hard headed relentless dynamo type technicians who put the pressure on . khan has trouble with anyone who is his own size and can punch. im sure both these fighters will be uber cautious and look to win a sneaky points decision. could well be a shite fight. gonna go for alexander based on the fact that he is a more balanced and complete fighter. he has also fought better and more dangerous opponents. if alexander can swallow what porter dished out, he can take anything that khan's got.

The first i heard of Alexander was when he came over here to beat Witter for te vacant WBC LWW title a few years back,and i think ive seen all his fights since then but although i knew he had a solid CV being a 2 weight champ but i was looking at it again a minute ago and he's been in with some good fighters and bangers too

Witter,Urango,Kotelnik,Bradley,Matthysse,Maidana,Bailey,Purdy,Porter,Soto Karass

That lists not too shabby for your last 10 opponents,and Khan up next

:salut: Up their with the best of active fighters today

I think I can remember watching it and you didn't miss much - Junior wasn't at his best and didn't really seem to put an all in effort for the win.

The Bradley Witter fight sticks out for me. I thought Bradley showed himself
A very tough young man that night! I didn't think it was very close.

Khan will do very well to get the W against Devon, and if he does I hope he gets the recognition he deserves. Forget khan outside the ring, I think he is a great boxer to watch.

I dont think Khan's nearly as bad as he's made out,no more cocksure than most fighters


But 1 thing thats annoying me is the constant talk of a Mayweather fight,every bloody interview since he beat Molina,it puts me off fighters when i hear them constantly mention one opponent,it sounds desperate

Alexander can take a punch much better than Kahn i think he's got a pretty good beard considering some one the shots he absorbed from Matthysse... some of those would put alot of pro's out. Alexander to hurt Khan then get the finish with his accuracy for me.
