(Photo credit: Naoki Fakuda) By Sotoman: There was a little bit of everything in last nights boxing fights. We begin with the fight between Lee Purdy and Devon Alexander. There is no doubt that Alexander’s stock dropped yesterday, despite the fact that Purdy failed to make weight. Although Purdy was not as impressive, he made Alexander look weak and ill accomplished. Purdy demonstrated and exposed Alexander’s lack of power. It is clear that Purdy was not going to win the fight on the score cards, but he had a heart of a lion.
I could truly understand why his corner stopped the fight, when they did. Alexander suggested that many fans would be disappointed with his performance last night, he may just be right. Alexander needs to do a lot more and fight bigger names, if he wants to be placed in the same column as the top Welterweights or 140 pounders.

Are we now staring at potential super fights, that will be talked about in years to come in the same breath as the Four Kings. Maybe not. But what some boxing enthusiasts and those who claim boxing is dead more times than Archie Moore had fights, are ignoring is that between the Light Welterweight division and the Light Middleweight division, there is a heap of potential fights that will only do boxing’s image good.
By Allan Fox: IBF light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (31-1-1, 16 KO’s) is known for having a really good chin and the kind of body attack that makes him hard to beat. This Saturday night, Peterson’s chin is going to be severely tested by Lucas Matthysse (33-2, 31 KO’s) in a 12 round bout at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
