GL: Congratulations, give us your thoughts on your performance tonight? "I give myself a C-. I should have done better while I was in there. It was okay."
GL: It was okay! You just pitched a shutout against a former world champion. If you gave yourself a C-, what do you think you should have done better?Devon Alexander: I should have paced myself more. If I had paced myself more, I would have had less injuries than I got playing around. I thought I did okay. I got the victory, and now I'm going to move on to the next one, baby. I'm going to get better, it was an experience.
GL: Were you dissapointed that you didn't get the knockout, because it seems that you were looking for it?DA: I don't go into fights thinking I can knock him out. I think that Ray knows better than most???Â
GL:Â In the 4th round it looked like you had him hurt, but...DA:Â I had him hurt in the 5th round my hand started to hurt.Â
GL: It's hurt? How is it hurt?DA: My knuckle is kind of swollen now, it's okay.
GL: Where do you go from here?DA: I'm going to the next one. The next one, I think, is going to be in the Lou'.
GL:Â When can we expect you back in the ring?DA:Â April 27th, baby.Â
GL: Now that you've got a former world champion, like Corley out of the way where do you go from here?
DA: You know me G, I'll fight anybody my trainer and promoter put in front of me. I'm ready to fight anybody and as long as I train hard and listen to my coach I don't got nothig to worry about."
GL: Closing thoughts?
DA: "I want to thank Boxingtalk for always keeping me on from day one, I hope everyone enjoyed my performance, I promise they will only get better and better.
