    Maidana is fully capable of winning, especially since I don't think Devon has a great chin. But let's look at the facts here - even when he loses, Devon manages to get the decision. Bradley must wonder what the hell happened that night!

    I REALLY don't like Devon. He was massively hyped after beating a shot witter and one punch against Urango, and he gets gifts in every fight. And to make matters worse, the hype train will start again after he UDs Maidana.

    I think Devon has a better chin than Khan but I won't rule a KO out. I can just see him boxing to a boring decision

    I hope Maidana absolutely abuses him. Don't think that'll happen though, can see Alexander winning a wide decision.

    I'd like to see maidana fight at a higher pace than he did against morales. Coming on strong late against devon might not be enough because it might be all over by then

    Maidana will be cheated out of a decision win just like Kotelnik and Matthysse. Maidana will have to knock Alexander out to get a draw! This is another set up fight for a robbery. Judges have already made out their cards, at least two of them..............

    Maidana on points, though I love for him to smash the over rated Alexander to pieces but I think Devon is a durable fighter and will last the distance.

    I like Alexander and always thought he was pretty decent and would have the tools to beat Bradley ... can see him outboxing Maidana over 12 ere ... 4/6 looks a decent punt on the victory...

    You do know he didn't have the tools to beat Bradley though, don't you?

    I hope Maidana batters him, but no doubt Devon will win a decision....is this 10 or 12 rounds? Is it for some interim bauble?

    It must be for some worthless trinkett

    Actually isnt maidana the WBA Regular "world champion" after he fought for it twice and lost twice so they just gave it to him anyway?

    10 rounds apparently, and i still dont get why? Not like they're young up and coming prospects.

    Would love Alexander to get KTFO by Maidana, but i sense a close fight and Alexander getting a UD courtesy of some very dubious scorecards.
     
  15. I think ten rounds suits Maidana more than Devon personally.
