"I wanted to be smart and aggressive in there tonight, and that's what I did. He was coming in fast like we knew he would. We knew he was going to come forward. I just couldn't get my shots off like I wanted to," Alexander said.
"Consecutive losses are tough, but I'm not easily discouraged. I just need to regroup and then we'll see what's next. I'm still considered one of the best."
