By Allan Fox: IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (25-1, 14 KO’s) isn’t too worried about his title defense on December 7th against unbeaten Shawn Porter (22-0-1, 14 KO’s) at the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York, USA. Alexander sees the 5’7″ Porter as a limited fighter that he’ll have no problems beating next month when they face each other.
Porter, #6 IBF, #6 WBO, #15 WBA, recently defeated Julio Diaz by a 10 round unanimous decision last September after having fought to a grueling 10 round draw against him last December. Diaz was able to catch Porter with some big shots in both of the fights, and it was pretty competitive throughout. Porter, 26, also has wins against Phil Lo Greco, Alfonso Gomez, Anges Adjaho, Ray Robinson, Hector Munoz, and Raul Pinzon. But his promoters haven’t put Porter in with anyone that you can call a good fighter until now with him facing Alexander.
By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan’s decision not to fight IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (25-1, 14 KO’s) on December 7th wasn’t much of a surprise because Khan wants the fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and he’s going to wait around to see if he’ll get that big money bout next.
