fitz... i thought bradley all but had him figured out by the end of the 3rd round... i remember thinking some where in the 4th or 5th round that if devon didnt have another plan of attack this fight was all but over... devon didnt have another plan and though he made some of those rounds close he was cooked... a few thing s i thought devon could have done more and really one in particular was his activity rate... he seemed baffled at times by bradley and i think had he just kicked up his activity a good 10 to 15 more punches per round he could have really opened up his chances... now with that being said i loved bradleys body punching... he went to the body early and he beat that body up often through out he fight... headbutts aside that i dont think where intentional he did what he had to do to get the job done... it appeared devon was on his way to getting beat up pretty good the last couple of rounds had he not wiggled his way out of the fight... seems to me he should have taken 5 and then quit... fighting for the unified title... seems like he should have found a way to get back at it... one thing i noticed too was the cut while deep wasnt bleeding and the eye that was butted last wasnt cut... lol... i hope devon gets knocked out in his next fight...

I agree with your summary, though for me, Alexander didn't look baffled at times, I thought he looked baffled for almost all of the fight. He could have thrown more like you said. I also think he could have mixed his shots up a little more as well. He didn't go to the body, he didn't throw the uppercut enough. A lot of things he didn't do. I just thought it was a shame that coming into such a big fight, he basically had no back up plan. I thought he basically let Bradley impose himself on him, and that's fine if that happens and you give it your all.
But to me, it just looked like Alexander was like a deer in head lights. He kinda froze on the big stage and got totally outclassed. Bradley looked to be on an entirely different league than Alexander.

But I may need to watch the fight again. I seem to be in the minority that is being as harsh on Alexander, a lot seem to think he done ok, which kind of surprised me. But may need to re-watch again.

he did ok if you want to give him the benefit in certain rounds... like i said i felt 3 at most and really 2 rounds with the first being an even round... i guess you can say its closer if you have him with 4 rounds but he's still losing and started to get dominated... thats my call 2 to 3 rounds for devon with the 1st even... give devon that first round and its that much closer but still bradley and he had for sure the momentum going into the championship rounds...
