On the undercard to Felix Trinidad-Roy Jones at New York's Madison Square Garden, and against the best opponent of his career, undefeated junior welterweight prospect Devon Alexander "The Great" (14-0, 8KOs) won an easy twelve-round unanimous decision over Demarcus "Chop Chop" Corley (31-8-1, 17KOs).
The fight was close for the first two rounds, and then Alexander took off with bigger punches and a much higher workrate. Alexander lost a point in the final round for a low blow. The scores were 116-111, 118-109 and 118-109. Corley, who vowed to retire after his last loss, will likely more forward with the promise to hang up the gloves.
Former welterweight champion Luis Collazo (28-3, 13KOs), returning for the first time since his decision loss to Shane Mosley, won a lopsided ten-round decision over Edvan Dos Santos Barros (9-5-1, 7KOs). The scores were 99-91, 100-90 and 100-90.
