By Sean Jones: Devon Alexander (27-4, 14 KOs) and Victor ‘Vicious’ Ortiz (32-6-2, 25 KOs) could be battling each other in a crossroads fight at welterweight in December. The fight was mentioned by Fighthype for February. Alexander retweeted the news of the fight on his social media site.
By Dan Ambrose: A fight between former welterweight world champions Victor Ortiz and Devon Alexander is being talked about for early next year in February 2018, according to Fighthype. This is a must win for both fighters, as they’ve seen their once promising careers disintegrate in recent years. Ortiz-Alexander would have been a fun fight 6 years ago when the 2 guys were major players at 147. At this point, it’s not as interesting. It’s more of a Danny Garcia vs. Brandon Rios type of business fight involving fading fighters without a place for them at the top.
