By Chris Williams: If unbeaten middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) is supposed to be a future champion, according to his trainer Freddie Roach, he hardly showed that he had much ability in beating 2nd tier journeyman Billy Lyell (22-9, 4 KO’s) last night, winning by an unimpressive 10 round unanimous decision [...]

Khan said he needs to get his April 16th [...]

By Alex Sharp: After watching the Bradley-Alexander fight last night I can now come to the conclusion that Amir has nothing to worry about if he fights either of these fighters in the future.

By Joe Met: It may not have been the spectacle that most fans were hoping for, but the result, for most, delivered few surprises. Timothy Bradley’s performance in defeating Devon Alexander will hardly go down in the annuls of history as anything other than ordinary, but he got the job done.

By Syed Jalil: OK cards on the table, I am an Amir Khan fan and believe that he is potentially one of the most exciting talents in Boxing Today. In Boxing terms, although not the complete package, he brings entertainment and an ‘Edge of the seat” quality that makes his fights compelling and can only [...]

By Michael Lieberman: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) looked positively huge tonight compared to his smaller opponent junior middleweight journeyman fighter Billy Lyell (22-9, 4 KO’s), beating him by an 10 round unanimous decision at the Estadio Banorte, in Culiacan, Snialoa, Mexico. Lyell took a lot of punishment but refused to quit or [...]

By William Mackay: WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 Ko’s) came up short on Saturday night, losing in part due to a series hard headbutts but mostly because he didn’t have the toughness to beat WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s).

By Jim Dower: If you were hoping that WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander’s 10 round technical decision loss to Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) on Saturday night meant that Alexander was out of the way so that Bradley could then move on and face WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) in [...]

By Eric Thomas: With WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander’s disappointing 10th round technical decision loss to WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) on Saturday night in Pontiac, Michigan, Alexander will now likely be pushed by HBO into a loser’s fight against Argentinian knockout Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s), who is coming [...]

By Dave Lahr: As I mentioned earlier tonight, WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) was going to beat WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) and that’s exactly what Bradley did in beating Alexander by an impressive 10 round technical decision.

By Eric Thomas: WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (41-2, 38 Ko’s) has a tough fight coming up next month against unbeaten Cuban Odlanier Solis (17-0, 12 KO’s) in Cologne, Germany.

By William Mackay: Without a doubt, WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (26-0, 11 KO’s) will show the world tonight that he’s the best fighter in the light welterweight division when he destroys WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-0, 13 KO’s) in their crucial unification bout.

By Dan Ambrose: It’s safe to say that former WBC junior middleweight champion Sergio Mora (22-1-2, 6 KO’s) did more than enough to deserve to win in his last fight against Shane Mosley in September 2010. Unfortunately for Mora, he had to settle for a controversial 12 round draw with the 39-year-old Mosley.

By William Mackay: If WBA heavyweight champion David Haye is able to get out of his mandatory defense against Ruslan Chagaev next due to Chagaev having lingering problems with hepatitis B, we could be seeing Haye take on a weaker opponent, like Alexander Ustinov or possibly even worse than that.
