    Think Devons next few fights will be on showtime rather than HBO

    Oh yes, sorry. Showtime instead of HBO, I'll edit.

    Brook is a nobody Alexander would probably stop him.

    I understand what you mean fair enough I just thought the extra 20,000 fans on the night might generate more cash but HBO if HBO is gonna bring in as much cash as you say then fair enough.

    Brook may not have many (if any) world level opposition but at least he has earned his title shot and I'm looking forward to the fight. Shame if it's in America but I'll still be watching and cheering for Brook. Incidentally who do you think wins if Brook and Alexander fight and how?

    On the IBF mandatory notice they've sent to Froch, they said he had 9 months from when he won it in May (Feb 2013)... So does that mean Devon will have until August to honour his mandatory challenge?

    Hearn said it was already a done deal that Kell would fight Alexander if he won.

    I think it depends on how long the guy challenging has been waiting for a shot. Considering Kell has fought about 10 eliminators, I think they'll push it through quicker.

    why shouldn't he have to travel? He always fights at home and Kell is a bigger draw.

    No other explanation, i'm guessing because he has failed to find a print coloured blue :yep

    It's not who he has beaten, it's who he will beat and who he is capable of beating... better guys than Alexander :smoke

    Devon's a big draw in St Louis himself. Kell's only the bigger draw in Sheffield. Outside of that and the UK, he's a nobody.
