Devon Alexander "I will beat up Kell Brook"

Your right timing is the key , i seeing DA coming in with that double jab, i think Brook should jab with him which may make DA think a bit more as brook Jab is a weapon and is sharp whereas DA`s is a point scorer.

 

Khan beats Brook.

 

I think what everyone is overlooking is the size difference in this fight. Kell Brook is a big welterweight and Devon Alexander is a natural LWW, who has hardly fought at the higher division. Alexander is flashy but does not really punch hard apart from with the uppercut. Brook beat Hatton worse than Canelo but then looked average after a few rounds with Jones, so no one really knows how good he is.

The yanks who consistently back their fighters to "whoop ass" need to take a more objective view. Whatever way you look at the fight, it is tight on paper - Devon's proven world level experience (where he has really lost 3- Kotelnik who Khan schooled, Bradley and Matthyse) vs Kell Brook's potential, strength and punching power. I think Devon is a bit chinny and the nerves may affect Kell on the big stage so it really is a pick em fight....

 

I don't know much about Brook,I can see this as a pick em fight since with Debon you never know how he will perform.

 

both much more proven fighters than brook who got lucky vs jones

 

I haven't seen much of Brook. Based on what I have seen, I see the fight like this:

Footwork: Alexander -- should be able to keep Brook turning and give him angles.
Speed: Alexander, clearly.
Power: Brook. He will just have to time well to land it.
Defense: Alexander
Timing; Even. Both guys know how to set up their combos.

So, Alexander sticks and moves while Brook lands fewer, but harder shots. For Alexander to win, he needs to keep the landed shots to a minimum (keep moving) or land something hard enough to back Brook off.

For Brook to win, he needs to be patient and let the hard shots take effect and slow Alexander down. However, by that point in the fight he might be down pretty far on the cards and need at least a knockdown.

Am I right?

 

brook's nothing like khan you moron and also alexander never lost to a prime witter in nottingham he beat a shot witter in america. anyway, alexander did rob kotelnik and mattyse and lose a close one to bradley but all of that was against world class op at 140, he's stronger at 147. alexander has also beaton tough guys like maidana. i have personally watched brook and thought that he looks very talanted but looking at what his opposition has done I have to say he has been mixing it up a few leagues below world class and alexander could give him a big shock.

 

look at alexander's last 7 opponents. they have all held world titles

 

The problem is Brook has never fought at this level before so its hard to know how good he really is, let's not forget he had fitness problems vs Jones, first the first 6 rounds Brook looked really good.

 

:rofl are you ****ing serious? Andreas Kotelnik whooped his ass . Alexander is garbage. Kell Brook will KO him if he doesn't pull another Quitjobs first

 

Ya Alexander struggled with Bradley, Matthysse, Kotelnik and was boring in his win vs Maidana and Bailey. Then he wasn't that impressive in his win over Urango, Corley and Witter.

But Kell Brook beat Matthew Hatton :roll:

 

I hope Brook pulls out a miracle cause I can't stand watching Alexander but reality is that Brook took too long to step up the opposition level, he got used to beating on cans, it stymied his progression....he's going from C level straight to worldclass champion level and he's going to be in for a shock. Alexander will dismantle him and win a very wide UD, maybe even stoppage.

 

It's more listening to Alexander that irks me than watching him. :yep


...and Brook isn't the easiest on the eyes himself, depending on the dance partner.
