I see you have a raider sig. Did you ever play football? If not I bet you could still tell me what a pulling guard is, or a slant pattern or that your owner is tied with my owner for most obnoxious old guy in the nfl.
Hell what level of football did bill belicheck play? He was coaching at 20 and is among the best in the biz. All I'm saying is it doesn't take extensive playing experience to understand a sport. It helps but is a non issue to me.
As for myself, I have never had a fight in the ring. I have been in the gym hundreds of times. The same gym as the man in my avi. It's my local community center. I know the sport........
....and I love it. Almost as much as the sport I played for over 20 years

One thing I think we all can agree on, is that it's going to be tough for Alexander to bounce back from this loss. It is possible. But the only time I can think of a fighter coming back from something worse than this was Roberto Duran. He flat-out quit. If he would have finished the fight, he would have gotten people's respect, even if he lost. He's a fighter, and fighters should fight. To the end. None of this theatrical bs. If you can go, you should go. I'm SO GLAD I didn't pay to see this live like I was going to.Comment

Once again, co-sign.I see you have a raider sig. Did you ever play football? If not I bet you could still tell me what a pulling guard is, or a slant pattern or that your owner is tied with my owner for most obnoxious old guy in the nfl.

I know exactly where you are coming from.
I for one very rarely put my info out on the internet...Why? Cause who really cares? I know I don't (about what anyone says or does)...That's why I was about to edit my post to assassin, but I didn't.
I'm not out to prove anything on this site, or the internet for that matter, but I have followed the sport (pretty much all my life), know the sport, done the sport (and still do) and support the sport and it's fighters...If I find something funny, or fishy, then hey, it is what it is.
I also agree with your football comments...Great examples.Last edited by HandSpeed303; 01-30-2011, 12:48 PM.Comment

He was definitely frustrated by the headbutts and overreacted on the last one and took a rather easy way out... Might be due to his youth or a general character thing, impossible to say.
What I think is even more important, doctor and ref did a very poor job there. Should have just told him that they give him 5 minutes and then they could have went from there...Comment

Alexander is a straight quitter. Hes a 'Champion' and he shoulda went out like a champion but instead went out like a p*ss. This reminded me when Cotto fought Clottey and Cotto's cut by his eye is wide open and blood was getting in it and was clearly bothering him but continued to fight like a Champ would. Alexander is a p*ssi.Comment

I agree with this. It frustrates me as a fan. I wish Alexander reacted more like a champion and pleaded for 1 more round or even went out there and threw an elbow or low blow at Bradley to make it clear that he's not putting up with the headbutts. Don't pull a Tyson but don't go out like this. There's a big difference between quitting because your injured and quitting because your hurt. If you quit because your hurt, you don't belong in the ring, and don't deserve to get paid. Alexander needs to get a job that don't involve fighting like the rest of us.He was definitely frustrated by the headbutts and overreacted on the last one and took a rather easy way out...

imo he quit, he somehow thought that he may have been ahead in the fight and took the easy way out, funny that the side that was hit late on showed no marks whatsoever LOL and his stinging line was cringe worthy, hes got the heart of a warrior alrite, a warrior sheep!! Then he blames the ref for stopping the fight?? Dude you were crying and crying the stinging the stinging and making those noises, what did you expect was gona happen, oh yeah exactly as you wanted, the fight to end, puuussssyyy boyComment

Of course he quit. He needs a new trainer, it still may not help, cause I don't think Devon has that "Dog in him"
Frank Chao is ashamed of himself. 2nd Fight he's ever fell asleep to.Comment
