Comments Thread For: Martinez Secures Upset, Win, Shocks Devon Alexander

[Andre Ward]

I wonder if Devon can get back down to 140. At 147 maybe he's just not strong enough to keep guys off of him.

Needed to use his legs and his jab. He's a gatekeeper now or maybe he has been the last couple of fights.

Alexander stinks but I'm gonna keep it real. That was a BS decision. Saw it as a draw at worst for Alexander. Giving Martinez 2 of the first 5 rds is just crap judging. I had him down 6-0. For him to win 7 rounds on 2 cards is just bollocks.

It's been real Devon...maybe its time to look into doing something else in life.

He could eb Bruce Jenner's personal assistant, or he could apply for an acting job on Modern Family or he could apply to be a vice president of the Gay and Lesbian Action Against Defamation.

ya we know why you guys really hate pbc and it has nothing to do with mismatches thats for sure. i just dont see how people see boxing as black vs white its so ridiculous and flat out dumb. you obviously have not watched pbc much cause plenty of black fighters have not gotten decisions in fights that could go either way and gotten robbed in others but hey whatever dumb theory you want to use to feel better about your cave man thoughts

Hanz was being sarcastic.

Damn, arguably beat Guerrero and now beats Alexander? Martinez is having a really nice year.

[bojangles1987]

That was an ugly fight. What happened to Alexander's supposed slickness? He decided to trade with a bigger brawler - where was the ring IQ there?
Khan made Alexander look slow last December, which is understandable as Khan is very quick, but Alexander should not have been this slow - somehow he has regressed further.

Alexander has never been slick or smart.

I remember Max Kellerman was very fond of Devon at one time, and expected him to become THE top P4P fighter.

Second biggest upset of the year after the Huck loss.

I love when fighters come out of nowhere like this! Just like ive been saying, theres A LOT OF GOOD FIGHTERS OUT THERE they just got to put a camera on these guys, but nobody listens! Martinez should get another big fight. Another name to the mix to make it a little more interesting! Thats why i freakn LOVE BOXING! Brook, Thurman, Porter, garcia...add Martinez to that mix. Fk yeah! Although Devons coming off an L its surprising bcux nobody really knew who Martinrz was. Josesito Lopez is bacj in the mix as well. Would be nice if that bitth @$$ Khan fought Martinez. I can see Martinez whoopin Khan, bad style for him.

Man the welterweight division is falling to pieces.

Floyd Retired.
Manny will soon follow.
Maidana grew into a blimp (toast)
Berto is toast
Alexander is toast.
Guerrero is toast
Pauli is toast
Broner left the division

We have a few guys left and a couple on the rise, but in just 2 years, Welterweight went from the best division to one of the worst.

I disagree man. You think WW is weak bcuz ur only focused on the NAMES, look at Martinez just came up and made a name for hinself with Guerrero and now Alexander. With alk those guys u mentioned leaving WW, the fun part is to see some more guys cone up like Martinez and porter...guys who just came outta left field and are now players. This is what i love about boxing.
