floyd is the last great american fighter.
the fight today was an embarrassment to the sport of boxing.
i cant believe some ppl here say klitschko fights are boring, vitali vs arreola was 1000x better than what i have seen today from alex & bradley.

Yup. I haven't been so embarrassed in a long time.

Whatever happen to styles make fights? I mean these two just didn't match up stylistically. I would say that against different opposition you will likely get a better more interesting fight, but you can't predict that kind of stuff. You just gotta hope that a good fight happens. Regardless I am bias towards Bradley, but, Devon quit. I wanted the fight to end on a proper note. Maybe a Knock down to wake us up a bit. Styles make fights, and generally MOST southpaws against a traditional boxer will either be really exciting or a bore fest because no body wants to get caught or head butted. Quiting after getting dismantled via Cotto / Marg is at least understandable. A legit health risk, beaten into submission, tapping out as some might put it. This was quiting because there was a door and it was easier to walk thru it than it was to shut it, lock it and let fist decide.

Look guys, it's about simle geometry. A smaller, short-armed guy needs to be on the inside to be successful. As seen tonight, When Bradley got on the inside, he completely shut Alexander down. Why, you ask? Because Alexander is a rangey fighter who uses his jab to measure out his straight left. When you take away his ability to use his natural advantages, he must adapt, Alexander doesn't know how to adapt....as I have said numerous times...not bragging but I knew if Bradley fought on the inside, he would dominate basically based on the fact that he is taking Alexander out of his game.

I was surprised that Bradley tried tried to box with Devon, he won primiarily on his aggression and will. Basically, he would do the same thing to Khan if fought entirely on the inside, Khan needs range to set up punches....If Bradley played his cards right, he could eat Khan up on the inside.

agree with your post except the last part.

i really cant see bradley getting anywhere near inside khan. he may be able to do it a few times but not enuff in 12 rounds. khan is huge n his jab n uppercut will deal with bradley very easily when he tries to come in close. i cant wait to see the stair down with bradley vs khan if it ever happens cus khan will have to get down to his knees to see eye to eye with bradley lol

i had a feeling this headbutt **** would decuss after the fight lol

No way was the Ortiz quitting fiasco was justifiable. He had no reason to quit, he was winning the fight and just didn't want to take an ass beating.

Cotto on the other hand was already done in (with or without plaster) and was taking a beating that could have been potentially fatal. You can make an argument for Cotto's quitting but not Ortiz's in my opinion.

Maidana weathered the early storm and took everything Ortiz could dish out, and Ortiz was beginning to take an epic beating. It was a little early, but projecting that fight out to the championship rounds in my mind ensured that Ortiz could have been seriously hurt. I think he too was sensing that he wouldn't be able to hang.

Maidana is tough and powerful. He gets stronger as the fight goes on (e.g. Kahn fight) and he proved that he was mentally and physically superior to Ortiz. It was getting ugly. Sometimes you have to trust what your body is telling you, and I think Ortiz made the right choice

I think there is a big difference between submission beatings, which can happen and quiting on a technicality If Devon went to the end and had lost w his eye falling apart , he still would win in some way. You win respect, something that is difficult to get, but easy to lose in boxing. Respect is what get you money in this sport not a Zero on your record.

In UFC people tap out rather than getting a severe injury. That still commands respect. the same applies to boxing. Just not when you are looking for a way out like tonight.
