Liceman is one of the most boring trolls. MichiganWarrior is a wind up merchant, but he's funny and good at it which is why people notice his posts, and he makes decent posts as well. Liceman has 17000 posts, and no-one knows or cares who the **** he is, so so boring.
He's honestly not. Khan has flaws that Brook doesn't, and relies far to heavily on his speed, as opposed to Brook, who's main wepon is his timing.
I think youll find Brooks timing ability and accuracy will decrease as he steps up in class. Not hard to look good against the levels hes been fighting With Khan even in an era with Mayweather and Pacquiao his natural abilities still leave me in awe. He just can't put it all together in the ring. Brook is just meh. Average. Probably too slow to fight inthe style he fights aswell

Said when this fight was rumored that they selected Alexander because he was the one guy who would allow Brook to fight his fight. Whereas Bradley or Peterson would be in his grill all day forcing him to actually let his hands go on the inside
It's true. Alexander will at least give Brook a shot at controlling the distance. Bradley would bull his way inside and dominate from there, he's all wrong for Brook. This fight all depends on who can dictate the range, and if Brook can time the jab of Alexander, stop the American's jab, and he becomes a much less dangerous fighter. Brook loves a pull counter right hand, and Alexander being a southpaw makes it a viable punch if Kell can get Devon to plant his damn feet. It's not clear cut, one way or the other.
Devon can fall forward a little after throwing the jab, he has much quicker feet than Kell & you need the right angle to land the pull counter right vs a southpaw jab. I think the counter left hook over the jab will be very important for Kell.
People on ESB are going to recieve more proof that S&C in boxing is truly amazing. Marquez proved it against Pacquiao, Pacquiao himself proved it for years before he stopped doing it, and now Brook will show it against Devon. He's only been doing it since May, but that's long enough. Brook will stop Devon and shock the boxing world.
I don't expect you to take my word for it at all and i know you won't, but Brook has been fighting to the level of his opponents so far and has barely trained for his last few fights with the exception of Saldivia. He got a new S&C coach in May, has sorted his takeaway diet out, and there were rumours going around that he was into cocaine pretty heavily as recently as last year. He sat down with Eddie Hearn, they had a full and frank discussion and now he's seriously into his training, as shown in his new physique. He's never looked 'in-shape', but he's absolutely chiselled to the bone at the moment. If he's eating correctly, off the drugs/booze and training hard, i honestly think he can do serious things in boxing.
If Devon catches on, then he'll just need to feint the jab, so Brook throws the counter Hook, and then shoot the straight left down the pipe. (Kell has the slower hands, so he can't wait for Devon to punch and then re-act, he has to punch with Alexander, which will make him suceptible to feints.)
