Excuse my ignorance but I was little confused, I thought the fight could only go to the scorecards due to a head butt cut before 4 rounds. Also as we all saw the clash of heads landed on the opposite side of the Alexander's cut, which resulted in Alexander crying to stop the fight even though the cut had happened many rounds ago. Seemed like he flat out quit and should have lost via TKO in my opinion.

Shouldn't it have been a TKO loss for Alexander?

I'm confused about that ending.
I don't know enough about nerve damage to the eyes, or anything like that.
Devon didn't make any positive sounds though for whatever reason about wanting to carry on. But maybe he just thought he was winning and wanted to get out of there.

On the bold, you know I know a lot of people share that same opinion as you but to me is was the total opposite. I felt like Alexander knew he was losing and Bradley was slowly taking control of the fight, so Alexander just quit and said to hell with it. I'm sure he wasn't expecting two gifts in a row, it's pretty obvious that Alexander doesn't have a winners mentality.

The doc didnt stop it because of the first cut over his right eye, it was a slit on the corner of his left eye from a butt that caused a stoppage. It was a hard cut to see, it was very small but it was there. The stoppage was weird, I'm not sure if it was whether Alexander just got completely frustrated or what, but I give every fighter the benefit of the doubt, so only time will tell. But the other cut was nasty though.

You have to go to the cards. Alexander got hit with brutal headbutts. I don't think he should have quit, but it's not his fault Bradley dives in with his head. So he shouldn't be punished for it. If it were a punch it'd be a different story.
