Does anyone anywhere give lee purdy a chance

  1. Does anyone anywhere give lee purdy a chance against alexander,bear in mind that Devon outmanned maidana as well as out boxed him I have a real fear that lee could be embarrassed

    Good luck to him and would love the upset but he is possibly the most limited and undeserving world title challenger I know of from Britain along with fraudly

    90% chance hes going to get a trimming but hopefully for his sake Alexander wont be up for it and takes him lightly. Even on Alexanders worst night Purdy dosent have a chance.

    I don't think he will win but i have a feeling hes going to hurt Alexander at some point in the fight, kinda like when Mosley hurt Mayweather.

    I just don't see what Purdy can do, he was totally outclassed by Colin Lynes and Alexander is leagues above Lynes, have a feeling it will be painful lesson for him.

    Wish him the best though.

    He has a puncher's chance although I suspect Alexander won't have it all his own way.

    I have a sneaky feeling that he is gonna take Alexander all the way and do much better than expected. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he put Alexander down, stunning everybody and then everybody getting behind him. It will get the heart racing, Eddie will be jumping up and down, Kugan spazing out, Kell Brook fuming. I think he will still fall short though, and lose on points, but even a valiant loss will do Lee Purdy's name the world of good.

    Would be hilarious if he pulled it of though. Mind I'm pretty sure even Purdy will settle for just doing a Martin Murray.

    Nobody expects him to win and that could be so helpful for Purdy, but not for Alexander. Underdogs get the name for just that, but Lee Purdy won't be the first underdog to score an upset like this. Its happened before plenty of times, it CAN happen again.

    If he pulls it of, someone needs to shove a mic and cam in Kell Brook's face!

    "U Mad Bro?"

    Don't think he will win but think he may surprise a few people including Devon by causing him a few problems early before Alexander cruises to a wide UD

    He is outclassed in every department. Devon has more than answered any question Purdy realistically poses. Let's not forget Purdy has been in with Maidana, Bradley AND Matthysse Probably only Michael Jennings vs Cotto where I gave a Brit less chance.

    Wish him all the best though.

    Alexander will stop Purdy comfortably I think.
