Alexander - Ortiz on Fox tonight
I know this is a fight with a couple of questionable fighters, but both guys have hit such highs in the sport that I can't help but be interested in seeing it.
Ortiz's win over Berto was nothing short of thrilling and Alexander has wins over Maidana and Matthysse. I know they are both probably shot, but one last chance on Fox in prime time on saturday night - who knows, maybe one of them shines. It reminds me of seeing Rocky Juarez's last fight in San Antonio in a tiny venue against Robinson Castellanos (22-11 at the time) and watching Rocky lose. All I could think all night was that Rocky had gone 12 close rounds with Marco Antonio Barrera and lost a SD and here he was ending his career. As depressing as it was, I felt honored to have been there as he lost to a second rate guy. Ortiz and Alexander were both real Brandoesque contenders in their primes. |

Both solid fighters who were inconsistent throughout their careers for different reasons. Alexander is the better boxer and tougher than Ortiz, who should find a way to lose here.

RE: Alexander - Ortiz on Fox tonight
Both guys have shown championship fortitude in their careers and both guys have shown breakdowns in will that would make retirement obvious. I would hate to think this fight was made because both guys were broke.
In a perfect world Ortiz would come out swinging and Alexander would look for a counter uppercut. --- Make it dramatic either way. |

Yeah both had the skill and potential and showed that in some of their fights..one had the push for big things and the other didn't.
I always liked Devon and his determination. His one punch KD of Urango is still one of the best modern day KDs! |

I remember thinking Alexander's fight with Urango was pretty entertaining.
