Hate to say it but i thought he quit too. Hope that some more years in the game will make him a better fighter.

Am not sure how mentally Alexander will recover. This is two fights in a roll his heart gave out. If he wasn't able to stand up at the most crucial part of his career, being a world champion, undefeated, and opportunity for bigger cash fights. What else could motivate you more then that. It will be much easier for him to quite now since there would be less at stake.

i dont like 2 knock a fighter 4 quiting when my fav has done the same b4 but this was on a different level. it was kinda pathetic. not 1x did alexander tell the ref or the doc that he wanted 2 continue. he just stood there waiting 4 them 2 call an end 2 the fight.

I hope you are not talking about Cotto quitting? Cotto is my favorite boxer ever and he never quit got beat by a cheat in Margarito and was simply beat by a better fighter in Pacquiao. He is the only fighter of this generation to never back down from the best and always fight the most dangerous and toughest opponents. Cotto is the most courageous fighter of his generation.

agreed, boxing's a tough game but as a PROFESSIONAL you shouldn't quit like that..

I don't see Cotto and Alexander's situation the same. Cotto literally could not bring his hands up. Cotto had given everything physically possible while Alexander had still in the fight physically, but didn't seem eager to go back in and want the win.

thats how i seen it. devon even forgot which eye was giving him problems
ha ha.

then it comes out that HBO gaurantted the loser $1.25M for another appearance on the premium cable network.

alexander has turned into a dumb wimpy black hillbillie.
he needs to get another trainer to take him to the next level IMO.

Teddy Atlas on HBO

"I think that's asbsurd. I don't understand what the people at HBO, and I guess they're smarter than me, but I don't understand what the big shots there are doing when they give something in the contract that tells the fighters that if you lose, you're going to get a million dollar fight and another fight on our network if you lose. I've never heard of something like that. To me, it's not good business. To me, again, they're smarter than me, but it doesn't make sense," remarked ESPN2 analyst Teddy Atlas, who took HBO to task for guaranteeing the loser of last weekend's bout between TimothyBradley and DevonAlexander another appearance on the premium cable network worth 1.25 million dollars.

As we now know, the loser of the bout was Devon Alexander, who complained that he was unable to see after an unintentional headbutt in the 10th round forced a halt to the action. Atlas points out that perhaps HBO's decision to guarantee the loser a comeback fight worth $1.25 million, before the bout had even taken place, may have played a role in Alexander's decision to fight through the adversity. "Would you tell your children that if you don't clean up your room, and I know that my kids used to make a mess, if you don't clean up your room, you're still going to get you allowance. Do you think that those shirts would be picked up from the floor," he added. "Again, I'm confused with the big shots at HBO making a deal with a fighter saying, 'You lose, don't worry about it. You'll be back on air. You'll get plenty of money.'"

Does Teddy Atlas have a point? Is it easier to lose your undefeated record if you're guarantedd a minimum of $1.25 million for your next fight? "
