Alexander vs. Bradley

By Jason Kim: ESPN analyst Teddy Atlas slammed HBO on Friday’s ESPN telecast for guaranteeing the loser of last week’s light welterweight fight between champions Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander a fight on their network and a huge $1.25 million payday.

By Hernan Cortez: A few weeks ago, I wrote an article proclaiming that the Alexander/Bradley bout would be good as long as an ill-fated head-butt did not stop the fight. Well, as many had feared, the fight ended with this worst-case scenario playing out.

By Sean McDaniel: WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) was surprised and hurt by criticism about his performance against WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander a week ago.

The fight has received a great deal of negative comments from boxing fans and sports writers because [...]

By Eric Thomas: Former IBF light welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (28-4, 6 KO’s) was in the mood to pay former WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) for some past comments that Alexander had made about Malignaggi when he was going through some hard times. Malignaggi waited until Alexander was facing his own [...]

By Eric Thomas: Last Saturday night’s light welterweight unification bout between WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander and WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley drew only 6247 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome, in Michigan. They were expecting a crowd of 15,000 and ended up with only half of that number. You have to think it’s [...]

By Chris Williams: WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) is really hoping that he can get a fight against unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. in his next fight in 2011. I’d say the chances of that happening are about as likely as me winning the lottery this week. Bradley needs to come down [...]

By Allen Hmiel: Devon Alexander at 21-0 had the chance of a lifetime to cement his place in boxing lore as an undefeated boxing warrior last Saturday evening in the cavernous almost empty Pontiac Silverdome. With HBO broadcasting the fight to all corners of the world and facing another undefeated 140 pound champion in Timothy [...]

By Chris Williams: WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) thinks Floyd Mayweather Jr. (41-0, 25 KO’s) would easily defeat boxing’s cash cow Manny Pacquiao if and when they ever fight in the future. Bradley, who is a good judge of talent, believes Mayweather would “easily” beat the Filipino fighter.

By Chris Williams: WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) defeated WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) by a disappointing 10 round technical decision win last Saturday night at the Silverdome, in Pontiac, Michigan.

By Dan Ambrose: Light welterweight contender Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) was not impressed with what he saw of last weekends bout between WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander and WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in Pontiac, Michigan.

By Dave Lahr: Some people may not be happy with the way that WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) won his fight against WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) last Saturday night, but Bradley did what he had to do against a fighter that was just there trying to [...]

By Chris Williams: Bob Arum thinks the bout between WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander and WBO light welterweight title holder Timothy Bradley came too soon, and that it needed more time to build up before it happened.

By Michael Lieberman: Few people would ever consider putting WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) in with Manny Pacquiao after watching how poorly Bradley fought against WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) last weekend. Bradley looked like nothing special, and that’s being kind about it.

By Jim Dower: WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) might be happy about having a rematch clause with WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) after losing a 10 round technical decision to Bradley last Saturday night. However, because of how boring and basically unwatchable that fight ended up, the [...]

By Michael Lieberman: The small 5’6″ WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) failed to make a case for himself that he deserves to be considered the number #1 fighter in the light welterweight division after beating WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) by a 10 round technical decision. Although [...]

By Eric Thomas: WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) looked like he did a quit job in the 10th round against WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s). It’s hard to see it any other way than Alexander flat out quitting, because he had a delayed reaction after a clash [...]

By Chris Williams: WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 KO’s) looked like the classic case of a fighter in denial last night after being beaten by WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) by a 10 round technical decision. Alexander failed to throw enough punches, backed up too much when getting [...]

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. People were talking about this fight as being the real decider for who rules the light welter-weight division well let me [...]

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 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). The fight was stopped after yet another head butt [...]

By Jason Kim: WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) did what he said he was going to do by going out and beating WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-1, 13 Ko’s) by a 10 round technical decision on Saturday night in Pontiac, Michigan. After a a series of headbutts, Alexander finally [...]

By Paddy Dwyer: On 29th January 1991 headlines were dominated by the Iraqi invasion of a Saudi city and the two day Battle of Khafji commenced. 20 years later however and it is an entirely different “Desert Storm” which rages as Timothy Bradley (27(11)-0) beat Devon Alexander (21(13)-1) to unify the WBO and WBC light [...]

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 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. Fighting in front of only 6,247 fans in the [...]

However, the fight was marred by [...]
