Devon Alexander (25-1, 14KOs) is very confident heading into his December 7th showdown against Shawn Porter (22-0-1, 14KOs). The IBF welterweight champion said he's had a great training camp and that he's concentrated on his speed. He said he didn't feel like he needed to change anything up in his camp because Porter is just an ordinary fighter.

"I've been doing my strength training and we been working on my speed! Porter is basic so I don't have to change sparring partners.  My team is trump tight.  Obviously they are nervous because they don't know what to expect from me so we will go expose his skills," Alexander confidently stated.

Alexander hopes to land a big fight in 2014 and looks at this as his opportunity to shine and validate his case for a big name opponent in 2014.

"I'll expose him and yes this fight is a showcase fight for me. After this they

can't deny me," Alexander told krikya360.com.

Alexander-Porter takes place on December 7th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY and will be broadcast on Showtime.
