Re: Broner/Perez, Alexander/Maidana unofficial thread

[powerpuncher]

round 5 was a round for maidana i thought. it was close but i thought that maidanas aggression won him the round. i have it 3-2 for alexander.

[captainanddew]

Maidana has 15 mins left. He better hurt Alexander soon.

[hardcorebee24]

Alexander is easyt to time. He feints back three steps then fires a hook straight combo that is easy to predict.

very true. Kotelnik knew what was coming and what to counter with after 3-4 rounds.

[captainanddew]

Maidana in some trouble now.

[captainanddew]

I repeat what I said earlier, someone is getting KO'd tonight.

[powerpuncher]

maidana was hurt at the end of that round. the only thing that i cant figure out is how all 3 commentators actually thought that was a knockdown. alexander clearly pushed him down.

[Gumby]

I think Alexander will stop him. He's a good finisher. For all the flack he's taken, he has looked better at 147 and controlled Maidana. He doesn't bounce around as much (I only saw him doing it in round 5) and has been pretty focused throughout.

I'm not sure he looks that much better. Alexander isn't facing someone with good technique and boxing ability. Alexander struggled with 3 guys that have pretty good to very good technique in Kotelnik, Bradley, and Matthyse.

[captainanddew]

Will Maidana still be standing at the end of 10 rounds?

[powerpuncher]

i still dont think that alexander is going to stop maidana. but alexander is doing way better than i thought he would.

[Gumby]

Devon can't quite put it all together. When he's tight, he sits on his punches better, extends more, and is more careful on d; but he doesn't get good combos and is predictable. When he's loose, he let's his punches flow and moves more; but he bounces too much and leaves himself too open.

[Gumby]

I think I get why it's so easy to get mad at Alexander. Not many fighters look to hold after they hurt a guy. That should've been the round to end it.

[powerpuncher]

maidana probably has no chance to win now.

not jsut that. He makes noise when he punches. He has done alot of shoeshining in fights.

And he got 2 decisions he shouldn't have gotten agaisnt Kotelnik and Matthyse. When you get hometown decisions, people hold it against you. At least I do.

Yes, but he looks meaner tonight. He's not letting Maidana bully him too much. It is easy to get mad at him, he should have put Maidana away.

true. But he never really got bullied. He just got hit by guys that could time him and counter with good straight punches.

Not technique, but physically. He looks stronger, he looks like he's punching harder, and he looks like he takes a better punch. He looked scared at times in there with those three. He's been tentative and tight against Maidana, but not scared.

I guess that he just always seemed kinda "Aww Shucks" to me. Tonight he seems like he really wants hurt his opponent. He has to fix the p[position of his head though and where it ends up after he throws a punch.

he look scared because they coudl defend against his shots and landed counter shots. Maidana can't counter well enough. Witter was too past his prime. Urango was wide open.

Yes, moving up in weight will allow him to have more power and take a shot better but weight (contrary to what he says) is not why he really lost 3 fights.

Alexander has fought 6 guys that were world class. Witter, Urango, Kotelnik, Bradley, Matthyse, and Maidana.

He was aggressive against Witter, Urango. Max-said this was the Devon Alexander that got me excited against Junior Witter and Juan Urango.

Weight isn't why he struggled in the Kotelnik, Bradley, and Matthyse fights. Those are better boxers.

To me he is stronger at 147 and takes a shot better, but it is going to be a matter of opponent. You have fighters that can match or come close to matching his boxing ability and he will go back to trying to shoe shine after a few rounds.

Did anybody catch the prefight statistics where they profile the contenders and champs in each division? They had Alexander's record at 29-3-2.

[powerpuncher]

somebody watch the replay of the "knockdown" and tell me how it wasnt a push.
