The ringside doc stopped it but it was clear that Alexander was not lobbying to continue. He kept blinking his eyes weirdly.
Basically it appeared that he gave the doc no choice.

The doc did stop it. But Alexander gave him the out. IF Alexander says I'm fine and opens his eye. It's done. The doc wouldn't have stopped it. Devon took the easy way out.

That's what I saw but I reserve the right to change my mind if jeff is right about nerve damage.

That's what Alexander said last night. He was on Channel 5 Sports Plus. I did watch the fight. He was complaining of stinging to the doc and since he couldn't open the eye, the doc stopped it.

Well, based on that and what I saw, I'm having a hard time believing it.
