Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander vs. Victor Ortiz To Air on FOX From El Paso

[jonnyc420]

Neither guy doing anything near the top of the division. Winner just getting a couple more decent paydays past this.

both men took more chances than some of the ppl on your current p4p list...
...b careful wat you say

You mean took more losses LOL

[IMDAZED]

Why would fox waste money on This?
Save the money to pay other guys who have a future. Not two guys who have had their best days way behind them.

Test run, perhaps

Good luck to them but i'll pass on this kind of 'excitement'

u likely wont take losses if you dont take chances..
i'd rather say a chance taker instead of an 0 saver

If Devon wins decisively, he'll likely end up in a title eliminator against a Vargas or Peterson type, assuming they lose their upcoming title shots.

How can you judge whether it's a waste without knowing what they're getting paid?

A fight like this is how you create a challenger the public has heard of. Two former champions. The winner will go on to bigger things. The loser may not get another chance.

Dude whatever they're paying them is not worth it.
They're featuring this fight before the Danny Garcia vs Rios fight on Showtime.
My guess is they're trying to set up the winner which will no doubt be Alexander to fight Garcia, and Rios to finally fight Ortiz.

Fights that IMO are meaningless and a waste. I'd rather they feature someone like Kieth Thurman in a tuneup fight before a rematch with Garcia later in the year. Build to the future not past prime fighters.

I'd rather they do a test run with fighters who actually have a future. These two have disappointed for years.

This should be a stink-
-The entertainment factor is still there though because Ortiz will find a weird but entertaining way to lose...

True. I suspect Alexander does have a future though.
