Official highlights
96-93? Could we have judge Michael Ross pulled in by the commission and asked to explain his card, please? This has to stop. Alexander is skillful but couldn’t draw flies to a dump.
Easy fight for Devon
Not a bad tune-up fight for Alexander, looked strong and healthy which is always great. But can’t really gage whether he is back or not, or whether he is ready for the elite at welterweight by fighting Castillo. Wouldn’t mind seeing him vs Garcia, Vargas or even Broner.
ATBF: I was just about to ask if you were going to post this one. Thanks for doing it! Love.
Castill was obviously chosen in an attempt to make Alexander look great. That ploy failed miserably, it did just the opposite, it showed up many of Alexanders shortcomings. two stars at best.
