Over the weekend in Maimi, Florida on a Don King Productions show, New Jersey's Ian Green (18-2, 12 KOs) stopped Vaughn Alexander (18-8, 11 KOs) in a difficult middleweight fight. Here is what Green had to say afterwards: “I want to dedicate this fight to my late mother. Tomorrow is her birthday and there was a lot of pressure on me going into this fight. I want to say happy birthday mom and I hope you’re proud of me. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and raising me to the man I am today. If you’re ever going through something, keep pushing. If you’re ever depressed and don’t know what you want to do, keep pushing. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. I ain’t where I want to be, but I’m not where I started, and that’s all that matters.”

 

As for the victory and what's next, Green remarked, “Like I said before I’m a dog. He caught me with a good shot, so I had to show him and switch it up. I worked on that body shot every day in the gym, and I made it happen today....I told [my promoter] Don King, whoever he puts in front of me, I’ll beat them. I want champions, I want the best.”
