    so u need to have power like trinidad to say that he's power is not overrated? and u measure a boxers power if they can ruin a boxer's career? all i know is he has 34 wins and 32 ko's, that's not overrated

    the guy says his power is overrated, but was knocked down by him and only him during his career? come on devon, you can't be as stupid as you look.

    I see what your saying, but im sure when trinidad was knocking people out his power was getting overrated too. Theres no doubt matthysee hits hard and when he lands its gonna shake you up at least.

    Alexander also made it a clinch fest for the rest of the fight, knowing he'd get the hometown decision. I used to think this guy was the future, but seeing how he reacted in that fight and getting the gift showed his true colors.

    If you can drop someone like Alexander and hurt him numerous times after it, then that means you've got serious power.

    I like how he says it´s overrated and then later says definitely don´t trade with him...I mean, he knows he really lost that fight, and had it not been in St Louis that SD would have been a UD for Lucas. He also suffered his first and only KD...so what would you do if you were him? Just act cool and minimize Matthysse, play it like he was no big deal and you deserved the win.

    The thing I´ll say to Alexander´s credit, is that the guy definitely has a chin...

    People don't understand the durability of Devon. This guy has only been down once in hundreds of contests. As soon as Devon beat Urango, who was known to be heavy-handed, he immediately started talking about how he didn't feel his power at all, if I remember correctly. If it weren't for the Bradley fight I'd think the mufugga had CIPA.

    That´s right man...those hand wraps could make anyone a major force.

    But regarding ruining another fighter...let´s see how Peterson looks when he comes back, and I am pretty sure he ruined Ajose

    Judah beat Matthysse by 1 point,

    Alexander lost although he won 5 out of 10 rounds but got kd'd.

    Matthysse= most overhyped dude ever, has one good win vs Peterson, that's it!
