    I won't say he "doesn't have a chance", but I will say that his last fight was utterly underwhelming. After a magical performance against a tailor-made Urango, he follows it up with a very flat fight against an underrated Kotelnik. The one thing that stood out to me in that fight was his punch technique. It was strange, but I remember his str8 left was always short and had little pop. Yet he destroyed a usually dependable Urango chin with vicious uppercuts. He had a greater variety of punches against against a one dimensional slow fighter, but against a traditional euro fighter w B to B+ boxing skills he was reduced to a southpaw Mikkel Kessler w better footwork. More specifically, he was just throwing a 1,2 or 1,1,2- rather ineffectively I might add. I don't see him beating Bradley, and to be honest, I'm seriously thinking of wagering a cool stack on Desert Storm- pending the odds of course. I'm just hoping the fight is worth the hype...

    Call me crazy but I anticipate this WAY more than I do Mayweather/Pacquiao. At least Devon and Tim are going to fight.

    Going with the hometown fighter, Alexander by UD. I'm hoping he KOs Bradley though.

    I think someone forgot to tell Alexander that Kotelnik has an Iron chin and that was his big mistake.
    He went in there trying to Ko him punched himself out a bit realised this mans going nowhere and had to go to plan B gassed.

    I am fully expecting Alexander to feast a main course with bradley and finish with Dessert Storm.

    Alexander Ko/Tko.

    Its realistic that hes the underdog in this, no problem there, but the way some have been talking its as if Devon is showing up to get abused :lol:

    I am favoring Bradley to win this, but I think I am rooting for Devon to pull the upset, I think hes got a better chance then a lot of people think too.

    Bradley will knock Alexander out! Alexander had to depend on criminal judges in his last fight.
