For anyone who hasn't seen Devon Alexander "The Great" fight yet, you are missing something special. Already considered one of the industry's young stars, he showed his mettle on the big stage as he took care of tough veteran DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley.
I would've liked to have seen a knockdown or two as Alexander landed several power shots throughout the bout and stunned him on at least two occasions. But considering Corley was his toughest opponent to date, it's perfectly understandable if he took precautions.
It was a tremendous display of speed and defense for the 19-year-old lightweight. And the judges thought so to as they scored the 10-round bout 116-111, 118-109, 118-109.
A coming out party? Corley was the perfect opponent. But even with his solid victory, Alexander doesn't have enough clout to secure a big-money fight yet. But give it two years and I can almost guarantee you will be hearing from this kid.
