By Jason Kim: What we saw from Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) in his last two fights is that he struggles if his opponents put continuous pressure on him and tag him with hard jabs, as Timothy Bradley and Andriy Kotelnik both did. Alexander won the Kotelnik fight by controversy in a 12 round unanimous decision, and was beaten by Bradley in a 10th round technical decision.
Lucas Matthysse
Alexander-Matthysse: Lucas might have to be especially good to win a decision against Devon
By Dan Ambrose: Argentinian Lucas Matthysse (28-1, 26 KO’s) is taking a big risk by agreeing to face former IBF/WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) in his own home town on Saturday at the Family Arena in Saint Charles, Missouri.

Alexander can’t afford to look bad like he did in his last fight against Timothy Bradley last January.

Summer Boxing: Alexander-Matthysse, Klitschko-Haye, Williams-Lara, Marquez-Ramos, Klitschko-Adamek

A year ago the most we got was Juan Diaz vs Juan Manuel Marquez in their second fight, which failed to live up to their first fight. We also had Miguel Cotto vs Yuri Foreman which saw Cotto win by body-shot KO after Foremans leg gave out a few times. Jean Pascal vs Chad Dawson in a fight that as Pascal was getting knocked out, the fight was stopped and the technical decision was given to Pascal.
