from Sky Sports Purdy will reportedly be docked 10 percent of his $150,000 purse with half going to Alexander. Both fighters still have to meet the fight-day weight check of 157lb - 10lb above the limit. Alexander will retain the title even if he loses, while if he wins it will be regarded as his first defence having beaten Randall Bailey last year. The fight will co-feature on the Atlantic City show that sees Lamont Peterson take on Lucas Matthysse, who both hold portions of the light-welterweight title.
You get a once in a lifetime opportunity which came out of the blue to fail on the scales totally unprofessional. The fact he has done this twice in a row even worse.It's no wonder the promoter's are fuming poor from Purdy.
His nickname is "Lights Out", so he has two things in common with James "Lights out" Toney ! It may be that he just should'nt be fighting at this weight , when i saw the weigh in on you tube i was suprised with how much bigger Alexander looked and more muscular even though he was lighter , but is it not true that when losing a lot of weight you lose muscle also ?
I'll be the talk of the town ice, I just hope I don't lose it while trying to make my way home pissed up.
Defo. I've got an alarm clock and can lose a fair pounds in no time of a morning! Yeah Stevo lived the life like you said and did ever so well to capitalise on his big break. Unfortunately, F*ank steered him into the path of his rising star and Naz just utterly outgunned him. What I remember from being there was seeing the contempt on Naz's face as he was smashing him up. He was sneering at him and when it got to the point where he was obviously just marking time I thought it went over the top.. Great entertainer was Naz, won't comment on him as a person though.
Solve boxing with this- 210 Plus Heavies 210 Cruisers 175 Light-Heavy 160 Middle 147 Welter 135 Lightweight 126 Featherweight Merge WBC, WBO to make WBC, then Merge WBA and IBF to make WBA.
I will.Compare his sneering attitude that night to the humility he showed when he got a little bit of the same treatment from Barrera.
