Amir Khan vs Devon Alexander

Who's taking this?

I think this is Khans fight to win. Alexander isn't the biggest puncher and doesn't having the finishing ability to get someone like Khan out of there IMO. They're both good boxers, I'd give Alexander a slight edge in slickness, but Khan is so fast and throws a lot more punches so I think Khan will bank a lot of rounds on volume alone. I got Khan by UD in this one.

Yeah I can see that happening. Khan's speed is sickening. Still not 100% sure who I'd take though.

[BAD INTENTIONS]

This fight will look just like Khan/Collazo.

Khan will hold and foul his way to victory. Good job by GBP of extending Khan's career. He could make a living off the softer hitters at 147.

Was really looking forward to Khan vs Guerrero. Might give this garbage a miss. I've never seen Khan in a boring fight until Collazo, where Virgil Hunters school of clinching paid off every time Collazo closed the distance.

Now Khan fights the biggest stink-out merchant in the WW division, who can't punch.

[Syntax Error]

Alexander is a good opponent for Khan & it will allow him to test the waters properly at WW before getting in with the big boys.

I don't think the fight will be exciting, but if Khan can beat Alexander convincingly, he will be ready for the likes of Brook.

[PsychoGamerTwo]

Not sure how much Alexander has left. It will be very hard for him, to win against Khan. I don't think he's got the power to knock him out, and if he wins a UD? Very hard to do.

116-112 for Khan.

[northern]

I'm leaning towards Alexander for this fight.

the reason I'm backing Alexander is just because this seems like his natural division, he started at welter, he dominated at light welter and even has gone heavier earlier in his career but has only lost against people with more aggressive styles and khan is not known for fighting like that.

[Cyclops]

This is actually a good fight. Everybody thinks Thurman will steamroller Khan so Khan should face Thurman and if he doesn't he's a pussy! He should take the fight he'll definitely lose! If he wins he finally earns our respect... But he'll lose though for sure we hope! Oh, Khan's taken Alexander, a close fight that could go either way! fornicate Khan that pussy piece of crap! What do you mean he might win? God I hate that guy!

The proposed undercard, with Thurman vs Bundu, is a good fight too. Bundu is no pushover at all and a good fighter.

Goddamit fornicate these 'well matched' fights I want to see overmatched opponents get KO'd! That's what boxing's all about, right guys?

[ponch]

Pick 'em, solid fight.

[G_Child_123]

Khan win, shame the bout has been made like 2 years too late.

[BAD INTENTIONS]

The problem isn't the fight. It's the fact that Khan is being pushed as a possible Floyd opponent and this fight should not earn him that opportunity.

Whatever, I hope he wins and gets the Floyd fight. GBP will jump on the May 5th date to make Cotto/Canelo because Floyd/Khan is an absolute bomb (by Floyd's standards) in the US PPV market.

That will leave Floyd, like Manny, struggling to do the numbers they could if they would just fight already.

[Badhusker]

I guess Khan thought Guerrero, Porter, and Thurman were too much of a risk. I hope Alexander beats his ass so he will just go away.

[ReggieDiggs]

Solid fight for both guys. Don't think a W for either guy should get them Floyd so Amir might be crying come May if he wins. Having said that idk if anyone is ready for Floyd @ 147, but Kell & Keith should probably get the shot before Amir if Floyd fights a 147 guy.

Whereas losing to Devon & then beating Adrien Fuckin' Broner in his second fight at the weight qualifies you for two consecutive fights with Floyd?

Well done. Well done indeed.

Read that again, Rover, & ask yourself, who was having his second fight at the weight?

I'd go to the trouble of explicating the antecedent for you, but it's much funnier watching youmake a further pudendum of yourself.

Are you really so neurologically atypical that you let context-implied meanings slip just so you can wave your tiny e-penis about?

aye, good posts.

some strange stuff on here. like the dude with the hardon for Khan - Guerrero. cos Guerrero was candidate for 2012 FOTY apparently, for beating. ummm. Berto. and Selcuk fvcking Aydin.

PS: i think 'e-nubbin' is probably more to the point than 'e-penis', if I'm splitting hairs, like.

Khan

[Badhusker]

This is a competitive fight, but a dumb move by Khan. At least with Guerrero he would have had another light hitting guy, but a common opponent with Floyd too, who only has lost once in the last 8 years. Guerrero laughed when he heard he was in the "running", but said team Khan never even said a word to him. I think he thought Guerrero may rough him up and it was too risky of a fight.
Alexander lost to Porter, who lost to Brook. No way does this get him a fight with Floyd, imo. Why not fight Porter or Thurman instead? The answer is he doesn't think he would have a good chance to win, or he would.

Its going to take another win over a good opponent after Alexander to get to Floyd. Khan is running out of light hitters though.

Yep. Solid fight; however, will need the GBP Edición Especial Ouija board in order to properly predict the outcome.

Floyd probably will take Brook or Porter, and I'm thinking Brook for some reason. Would be surprised if he even entertains the thot of a GBP fighter, which would give Khan an edge over Alexander. Not sure if Alexander has a shot at Floyd even if he puts Khan down. I think the Schaeffer split with GBP is a little deeper than we know... uknow?

[kidbazooka1]

Not a fan of Khan but he will beat the snot out of that high pitched voice clown Devon.

Never thought I would say this but Alexander is more of a joke than Khan.

Have to agree with you there. Alexander is irritating to watch/listen to. I know he beat Maidana, but Maidana was at 140, and ready to quit. (I would have too after that pathetic performance against Alexander). Probably a lot of people think Maidana is great now coming close against an old Floyd, but he isn't. Sometimes styles make fights, but also age, etc, are factors too.

Imo at this point, neither Khan nor Alexander really matter at this point, and the winner doesn't deserve a shot at any belt.

Let me get this straight now....Khan thinks beating Alexander now is the same path to get a Floyd fight....even though the last time he ducked Alexander and Alexander got his ass whipped by Porter??? Honestly, if Floyd fights Khan under any circumstance, we as fans need to boycott that joke of a fight.

I've been on this shit since last year.
