Good fight by Alexander. not sure why witter quit he didn't seem too hurt or anything.

[$partacus]

I can't believe he quit. He was quite a few rounds behind, but he didn't look hurt or tired and he was still in with a chance.

Junior didnt look as flashy as he did in his prime, but appareantly he quit as he disagreed with his cornerin in between two rounds..they told him to stop throwing one punch only and he replied"ok, that's it..its over"

No idea why Quitter quit, but that was strange. Congratulations to the young guy, he did what he had to and was winning the fight.

Junior Quitter, that's a swell nickname for the lad from now on. He'll never get that 'atton fight.

devon did good to stay calm against Witter's "style". alot of young fighters might have gotten frustrated with the style and all the holding Witter did, Devon stuck to his gameplan and won his fight

look forward to seeing him again

That is like the biggest cop out that I've ever seen a fighter pull. I don't ever want to see that joke on my TV screen again. I think Alexander is good, but I need to see him in with someone better than that before I'm totally sold on him.

He'll retire now. That was an awful performance, and quitting like that means it's all over for him now. Very strange.

Edit - he's just said in an interview that he won't retire, but he should. He claims he injured his elbow in the fourth, but he was performing badly from the opening round ...
