Devon Alexander returns after two years to face Walter Castillo

Devon Alexander, two years removed from an upset loss to Aron Martinez, will try to prove he’s got more than just opinions on the relative stress-strain curves of vaginas and anuses when he takes on Walter Castillo on November 21st. The fight headlines a PBC on FS1 show in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Alexander (26-4, 14 KO), the former IBF champ, has essentially been in freefall since losing his title to Shawn Porter in 2013, going 1-3 in his last four. According to the ESPN article, he struggled with painkiller addiction during his layoff, but is confident he can get back on track.

Castillo (26-4-1, 19 KO) will be moving back to welterweight after a rough run at 140 that saw him dominated by Amir Imam and Sergey Lipinets. His greatest accomplishment is probably escaping with a draw against Keita Obara.

Not the worst bounce-back opponent.

The card will also feature PBC regular Miguel Cruz (16-0, 11 KO) against David Grayton (15-1-1, 11 KO), also at welterweight, and both Gary Antuanne Russell (2-0, 2 KO) and Antonio Russell (9-0, 7 KO) against TBA.
