This Saturday night, IBF/WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (20-0, 13 KO’s) will be defending his two titles against former World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Andriy Kotelnik (31-3, 13 KO’s) at the Scottrade Center, in Saint Louis, Missouri. Alexander, only 23, needs this fight to line him up for much bigger paying bout against WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in January. Both the Kotelnik and the Bradley fights will be shown on HBO, and if Alexander is successful, he will find himself getting much bigger paydays than he’s been getting in the past. While Alexander and Bradley are squaring off early next year, presumably WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan will finally be getting around to fighting WBA light welterweight interim champion Marcos Maidana, if Khan is able to get by his next opponent in December. Khan wants to fight Juan Manuel Marquez, and if he gets his wish, Khan may find himself in over his head in that fight.
