Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander vs. Andre Berto on Garcia-Easter Card

Winner moves onto one more relevant fight and the loser needs to retire. Especially if it's Berto.

Berto has taken more than enough punishment in his career and he needs to move on if he loses.

5 years ago this would have been a main event, fast forward to current day both are the back 9 of their careers.

You have said it perfectly, 5 years ago this was a main event, today it's a crossroads fight real keen to see what goes down.

I was looking forward to Benavidez vs Korobov. Thanks for messing that up, Bob.

I thought Benavidez manager went to Bob and said his contract was invalid?

And why would you want to see Korobov who hasn't been relevant or active in years? That is a terrible mismatch

Two -beens but Alexander has more left

Food for the Spence monster...

No one wants to see two fighters who should be retired fight.

Dang, they're aren't going to stop until Berto gets brain damage.

I totally agree
The guy is done
Wondering is it the cash or promoter or obligation
But very fughin sad

Because it's better than watching two guys who haven't been relevant in years.

Probably have to prime the pump for contenders, tbh.

The winner of the Alexander-Berto fight likely ends up perfectly positioned to fight final eliminators for title shots (vs Ugas for the IBF, or vs Figueroa Jr for the WBC).

While the positioning happens, fight fans also end up getting a pretty decent fight to hold them over

No it’s not lol. Korobov has NEVER been relevant lol
