Peter Sferrazza: Devon quit against Bradley


Timothy Bradley v Devon Alexander - The fall-out

First off, I'd like to thank the two fighters for accepting the challenge. This was a fight that I wanted and was dying to see.

It ended up being a little disappointing. It didn't live up to the hype. I expected Alexander to show some balls because he talked a big game and so did his trainer Kevin Cunningham, who has more to say than the fighter does, which always annoys me.

He got out-coached, his fighter got out-fought and it was basically a man vs a boy in there on Saturday night. I think Alexander had a few good moments but Tim Bradley is just too mentally strong and it showed.

To top it all off, Alexander quit. I dont know what it feels like to get headbutted in a fight, but I do know some people that do and this is your career, its part of the job. Alexander quit with like seven mins left to go and that seven minutes is gonna haunt him for the rest of his career.

I respect any man who steps in the ring, but i would respect him a lot more if he bit down, finished the fight and actually showed Tim Bradley some respect.

Quitting the way he did, is also a sign of being a sore loser and a 23 year old boy, everyone knows that Tim Bradley headbutts, thats nothing new, but at the end of the day you were still losing the fight.

So when that last butt happened you couldn't possibly think you were ahead on the cards, so what really happened is YOU QUIT!!!!!!! You gave up your undefeated record and your title too easily.

It now look like Bradley will fight Khan next, which should be a great fight and I have to say Bradley wins that one too.

The Tragedy of Billy Collins Jr.

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor  Collins after the fight Williams Ray Collins Jr. or Billy Collins Jr. as he became known, was born to a boxing father in Antioch, Tennessee in 1961. His father William Sr, once fought Welterweight Champion Curtis Cokes and wanted his boy to follow in his footsteps, so decided to train Billy himself. Collins Jr. turned pro in 1981, a welterweight, just like his father before him and impressively won his first 14 professional contests, 11 by knockout with eight inside the first three rounds. It was 1983 and Billy was matched up against Puerto Rican journeyman Luis Resto on the undercard of Roberto Duran v Davey Moore at Madison Square Garden in a ten rounder. Resto wasn’t known for his punching power but Billy took a sustained beating for the full ten rounds, his face, badly damaged and his eyes were almost shut. After the fight, which Resto won on decision, Billy’s father shook Resto’s hand and noticed there wasn’t much padding in his gl...

Rico Ramos captures world super- bantamweight title with KO

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor ‘Suavecito’ scores 20th straight win over Shimoda Undefeated Californian Rico Ramos produced a world-class left hand in the seventh round of his WBA title challenge against Japan’s Akifumi Shimoda to rip the belt away from the older southpaw in his first defence. The 24 year-old looked far from a world champion in the first five rounds, only gaining a foothold in the fight in round six, but ultimately produced the equalizer in the seventh to take the crown. Shimoda, 26, will be furious with himself as he bossed the majority of the fight and was up five rounds to one on my card going into the seventh round. One lapse in concentration with only thirty seconds left in round seven and Shimoda hit the canvas. The champion tried to get up at the count of nine, but stumbled over and the referee counted him out. The now former champion stayed down for a full minute before being helped to his feet and realising he no longer held the WBA belt. Also on the card i...

Tyson Fury responds to James Toney: Let’s get it on!

Phil D. Jay  WBN Editor Former world champion could get his wish Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury has reacted receptively to American James Toney’s recent advances for a clash in England this year and the fight may now be a realistic option for the former Irish champion. 43 year-old Toney, who has won multiple world titles at different weights, called out Fury in a recent interview where he also slated the US Olympic team and has never been one to hold his tongue when speaking out future opponents. 'Lights Out' seemed surprisingly respectful when speaking of Fury though and hopes to bring the lowly-regarded IBU heavyweight belt he won against former bare-knuckle champion Bobby Gunn for his first visit to the UK. Fury, 24, told WBN that he is willing to make the fading champion his 20th professional opponent, although the WBC’s number six ranked contender does admit that the Grand Rapids-born boxer has seen better days in his career. “James Toney was a ver...
