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.
