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.

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.
