    Devon was to be a can;t miss guy after he stopped Urango. As soon as he fought an opponent who could neutralize his power like Kotelnik did, he was never that tiger again. That fight really exposed him in a controversial win. Bradley dented him. He did resurrect himself v. Maidana but that was short lived. I think Spence is the same way. As soon as someone can take his offense, he will get schooled. He is left handed and defensively average just like Devon too.

    Spence clearly has a different mentality. Alexander always struck me as a nervous, anxious fighter who doubted himself when things got rough. Spence seems very single-minded in the ring and always seems relaxed.

    Not to mention the fact that Spence looks tighter in form and much more accurate. Devon was eventually exposed as a bit of a shoe-shiner with a poor sense of timing and distance. Spence is the opposite, he's efficient and accurate with his power.

    Kotelnik edged Alexander.

    But not by much.

    Spence is on another level compared to Devon.

    Figures you'd say that! Bet if his name was Erroslov Spenkov from The Ukraine his nuts would be all up in your mouth just like all the other EE fighters! I can understand rooting for fighters from a certain region of the world but, to consistently sh!t on black fighters the way you do is getting a bit ridiculous! I've seen you post things and in those posts praise guys from Eastern Europe that don't look nearly as impressive as Spence. Spence is every bit as impressive as Usyk in my opinion! I know you think very highly of Usyk but here you are giving no credit to another fighter every bit as dominate as Usyk so far in his career. Can you explain this?

    Ok I'm ignorant! Explain why he isn't as impressive as Usyk at this stage of his career? Usyk is better because he was trained by papa lomachenko? What makes him so much better than Spence, a guy who if he was from the EE you would praise him to high heaven!
