    Is going to beat Amir khan. khan seems to be huge favourite, well khan is more proven, has more speed, has more power. But that defence is gonna let him down. And Alexander will get the decision, i dont rate devon too highly, he hasnt shown much heart in his fights and lost against an elite fighter in bradley, losing to porter is quite pathetic. He has class does devon, but he aint a natural born fighter, nor is khan. The tougher man wins tonight Devon Alexander.

    Alexander is being severely underrated in this fight. He's got good skills and he's only lost the some of the best. He has enough skills and speed to match up to Khan pretty well.

    Khan has a speed advantage, but Alexander is more durable and he's no slouch himself in the speed department. Shot per shot, I think Alexander punches harder and will have the advantage as the fight drags on.

    Khan will look really good in the first 4 rounds, but we'll see what happens after that.

    Alexander can't fight on the inside and Khan has looked good at clinching and staying out of danger in that range ever since changing trainers. I think that will be the difference, combined with Khan consistently outpointing Alexander in the outside fencing match.

    The only result that would surprise me is if Alexander legit outboxes Khan start to finish and wins a wide or comfortable UD.

    Depends on the opponent, Khan had no idea what to do inside when Peterson was up close and personal.

    Whoever wins needs to put on a show because to get the Mayweather fight you need to be impressing. Alexander and Khan can't expect to generate interest if they fiddle their way to a points win in a boring fight.

    You never know, Thurman could steal the show and jump over the pair of them.

    What does that make Floyd? Alexander schooled Maidana, Floyd struggled mightily.

    Khan's speed will be the difference in this fight.

    He'll end up throwing much more than Devon & if he's accurate enough he'll take it on points.
