    can't believe Devon Alexander hasn't been mentioned once.

    he quit against Bradley and Purdy.

    he only had that lapse with Tyson. a bit unfair if you ask me to call him mentally weak.

    Why are folks saying Tyson? (not disputing it, just curious, his reign was before my time)

    ah, so you don't know about that? :think

    go on to YT to see it. it's one with Russian language in the description. maybe it's on the American broadcast as well, i don't know. but we didn't see it here in the UK.

    Alexander goes back to his corner at the end of the round, sits down and tells Cunningham to stop it. Cunningham turns round to tell the ref that Devon can't go on, but sees Barker (who was in the Purdy corner that night because his trainer had problems with the travel) telling Lee that enough was enough. Cunningham tells Alexander to wait a second (who had just got off his stool) and to sit back down. Cunningham then turns around to Devon and tells him they've stopped the fight in the other corner.

    i give you my word. go and see for yourself.

    i didn't see it myself until a few weeks after the fight.

    it was all over Twitter as well telling Lee he wouldn't believe how close he came to picking up the IBF title. :good
