The St. Louis Kid, Devon Alexander is coming off a subpar performance against Andriy Kotelnik a fight in Alexander won, but barely on my cards. To many it made Amir Khan's wipeout of Kotelnik look even more impressive. I think the contrary, I think it makes Devon look a lot weaker than expected. Perhaps he was overlooking Kotelnik because of Bradley lurking, but in boxing you are only as good as your last fight, and that last fight wasn't good.
Timothy Bradley. * What do you need to say about the guy? He's a professional, a good interview, and he's good. He has a nasty body game, quick, and seems to have a good chin. His last fight was against a game Luis Carlos Agregu. This Argentinean had one game plan going into the fight, knockout. He looked for it all night, giving up round after round. He came close a few times, because Bradley isn't content on winning rounds, he comes forward and will give you openings.
Unfortunately, in the end one guy has to lose. I am picking Alexander here against my better judgment. While I think if Bradley keeps his movement up, his superior boxing skill will beat Alexander. Frankly I think if Devon can't hurt Bradley, then Bradley should cruise to an easy decision. However, I just have a feeling Bradley will attack Devon's body in the early rounds and get caught by a counter left uppercut.
