    It seemed clear to me that he quit. Dude is an actor. A sad end to an otherwise entertaining fight.

    The cut was bad but Alexander milked it for all it was worth. I didn't really find that an entertaining fight.

    I don't think Alexander ever made a REAL effort to try to impose his will. Sure, he'd counter every now and then, but he never really dared to win. When he saw the door of opportunity (to quit) open, he ran through it with a zeal he not once exhibited during the actual fight.

    That pretty much sums it up. He fought "brave" in patches but on the whole he was negative, seemed unwilling to step forward and grab the fight by the balls. When the opportunity arose he probably thought he was ahead on the cards, and if not, well, he's cut. Just listening to him in the corner he seemed to really milk the situation. Still, it was a bad cut.

    If the last clash of heads had been on the right side of his head instead of the left I might have given Alexander the benefit of the doubt. But in this case it's clear he "beeched out"! :-(

    Of course he quit. It's pretty obvious he quit. He's the one that rushed in head first, sure the headbutt hurt, but you are a fighter you have to fight thru adversity.

    Admittedly it was an UGLY cut clearly caused by a headbutt, but he wasn't even taking an ass whipping?!? He didn't even take a butt on the cut when he quit. That was an escape move.

    IMHO he knew there was no way in hell he could keep up all that movement. Bradley was getting closer and closer and beginning to let his hands go. He got out while he thought there was the possibility of it being close. Unfortunately? It wasn't.

    Too many guys fighting Bradley are getting headbutts though. How many fights are decided by your noggin' before a ref steps the hell up?

    If he had really wanted to continue, he could have been given time to recover. He opted to quit though.. a shame.

    He definitely looked uncomfortable for most of the fight. Maybe he saw an uphill battle in front of him so he called it a day. That second cut was in a strange location, in the corner of his eye.

    I like Devon and I hate to say it, but he quit. No doubt.

    Of course he did. He was obviously looking for a way out.
