Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander-Victor Ortiz: Surely Someone's Last Hurrah, Right?

[TyrantT316]

If Judah taught us anything, you get many last hurrahs! These two are talented, but hit their ceilings. It's a shame because Boxing is better with talents like them. Victor just doesn't have the mentality and Devon just hit his ceiling. It seemed Devon never improved.

Devon has beaten the likes of Maidana and Matthysse while Victor has had more high profile fights, but slightly less success. Devon SHOULD win this fight. I'd say this is 50/50 and depends on what version of them shows up. I think we can assume Victor will wilt and possibly quit if Devon is outboxing him or even drops him. I only see Victor winning if Devon shows up listless.

I hope the tickets are cheap for those who are going to attend because this is definitely not a TV fight both way past their Prime both have virtually showed nothing in their past outings Alexander recently beating a nobody in Florida and Ortiz the winning but against C or G Fighters Plus getting hit way too much showing virtually no defense... just for the power I might have to go with Ortiz but it doesn't really matter

I don't think it should headline a card, but definitely worthy of TV. You've got to remember, Ortiz fought Mayweather, Berto twice, he's already been on a PBC cards before. Fans know who he is and most of his fights provide entertainment.

Both former title holders, so it's not completely pointless. All this does is determine who gets fed up to Thurman or Garcia for an easy title defense.
