IBF JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
CORY SPINKS
“I felt good, just a little rusty that’s all. Verno fought a good fight. He came in to do a job, but I feel I did what I came to do. I am upset with myself. I let myself down.”
VERNO PHILLIPS
“I hit more with my left. They told me not to reach in. He is hard to adapt to. He is sneaky. You lean in, he will hit you with a one-two. I just relied on my experience. I did my best and I am still in the top 10. I had harder shots. I felt like his people were booing him because they felt he didn’t bring it.”
WBC CONTINENTAL AMERCIAS & WBA FEDELATIN SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
DEVON ALEXANDER
“I felt great tonight but I always feel I could have done better. I was happy with the knockdown in the last round, but I would have liked to have had a knockout. St. Louis has a new champion and I am going to stay around. I want to fight for a world championship by the end of the year.
KEVIN CUNNINGHAM (Alexander’s trainer/manager)
“Devon did what he had to do. There is not much you can do when a guy brings his track shoes instead of his boxing shoes. When Callist sat down in the sixth round and fought, Devon shut him out. Then he [Callist] got on his bike.”
MIGUEL CALLIST
“He was a strong man. Besides strong, he was a little younger. I did my best, but he had the home crowd on his side. Yes, I think I did enough to win.”
