This fight was in the silverdome iirc, cause it got rescheduled once or something like that because of roof problems
The forum I used to read back then had a lil mini agenda war of devon, bradley, and peterson. I randomly picked Bradley for whatever reason and it worked out for that bout and he ended up having the better overall career

I remember when he grabbed the wrong eye. :mjlol:

I've never liked Alexander but this fight was the beginning of the end for him. He suffered from depression and drug abuse.

thats what pissed me off...dude wanted out of that fight with bradley..bradley's headbutting and flailing was too much for him


then after that mfr beats a murderers row of lucas (dont think he won this fight), maidana (beats the brakes off him), and randall bailey (horrible fight to watch for many reasons)

his downfall started really when he lost the belt to shawn porter aka bradley 2.0..i was hungover in a hotel suite after my holiday party..im on my phone looking and being surprised like porter beat devon? :huh:

so much potential with him..shyt devon had a floyd cosign too

He did a radio interview about five years ago and was talking about how that fight kinda sent him on a downward spiral. He think he said he ended up becoming addicted to pills.

If you faced both Tim Bradley AND Shawn Porter in your career, I understand why you would want to hang up the gloves lol jk

But nah shout out to Devon Alexander, was an exciting fighter but IMO was a step below elite because he sometimes lacked that mental toughness
