Tomorrow night in Detroit ... going to be a great fight. St. Louis boy Alexander with a decision is my prediction. Wish I could see it.

The fight is on HBO not PPV, why can't you see it. Even if you don't have HBO just call you cable company and order it then cancel it on monday and you won't be charged for it.

Alexander needs to put it together quickly. Fight's half over and he's yet to show he wants it.

If it were PPV I would have paid. That doesn't sound right, I'm not going to do that.
The Alexander entourage came in wearing Cardinal hats. Sounds like a great fight, but I hate when they end with head butting. There is a fine line between accidental and intentional imo ... yeah that's the way he fights but jeesh maybe that's the problem. Maybe leading with the head shouldn't be allowed.

That was a weird and unsatisfying end to the fight. I can't imagine it will help Alexander's standing.

It's happening a ton lately, at least the fights I've seen. Friday night fights a couple of weeks ago the main event ended in no contest in the first round with an accidental head but. Split the guys eye completely open, blood just pouring into his eye. Last night Lopez got a nasty cut over his eye last night in the 1st round but managed to win the fight in 7. But it was touch and go for several rounds whether he could even continue.

Well Alexander blew it in more ways than I thought possible.
- No desire. Come on guy, throw some punches w/ something on them. Where's the nice uppercut? I saw less than 5 punches w/ bad intent.
- No heart. The headbut that ended the fight sure didn't appear bad. It may have been, but come on, a champ has to beg to go on w/ the fight.

What the hell was that with his eyes? Did Bradley headbutt some pepper spray at Devon?

I thought the ringside doc stopped it ... they are more careful than they used to be. Depending on where the cut is, it can be impossible to see if the cut drains right into the eye. It's more where the cut is than how bad it is. I've seen some nasty looking gashes that drain around the eye and they let the guy continue.
