Comments Thread For: Cunningham: Alexander Broke Left Hand in First Round

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Devon Alexander's trainer and manager Kevin Cunningham has advised BoxingScene.com that his fighter broke his left hand in the first round of his TKO victory over Lee Purdy last night in Atlantic City.

After the first round it was obvious that something was wrong with Alexander's left hand as he began to use his right hand almost exclusively. Between rounds Cunningham could be heard telling his fighter to at least feint and paw with his left hand to keep his opponent off balance.

I'm amazed by this UK style defense where the fighter puts his arms and hands in front of him like he's about to be in a car accident and stands there and does nothing while the opposing fighter wings shots at him all night and eventually ****s his hands up, we saw purdy doing it last night, Murray utilized it against martinez , Ricky burns even pulled it off against chelo. The only guy who doesn't do it is amir khan and his chin is like a blast furnace.

I really hope that was the case last night because he did not look powerful as the fight went on. I was worried i was about to watch a 12 round dull exhibition. Now to get that hand healed up
And try again.

hopefully this closes the door on a possible mayweather fight in sept.

if Cherrypicker fights Devon, it's a total waste of Showtime's money, I hope Showtime got veto power over who Cherrypicker fights

He has about 6-8 weeks before he would start camp so it all depends on how bad it is.

Why would that be a cherry pick? He's a champion in two weight classes. And realistically, who do you want him to fight? Keep in mind, Floyd walks around at the same weight as lightweights. He's really a 135-pounder, 140 max.

He's going to the doctor today. Mayweather has an injured hand too remember so both of them will have some time off before camp.

My thinking too. Unless its really bad, he'd probably be just fine to fight in September.
