IBF welterweight beltholder Devon Alexander said that he wants "to send a statement to everybody at 147" that he's "a force to be reckoned with" by defeating Lee Purdy on Saturday, perhaps by knockout.

Two-time welterweight titleholder Andre Berto has ended an association with trainer Tony Morgan that began when he was 9, according to Morgan.

Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer contends that Ricky Hatton still is deserving of a rematch with Paulie Malignaggi despite Saturday's knockout loss to Vyacheslav Senchenko, whom Malignaggi stopped in April.

Will Andre Berto's 15-month layoff end with a victory over Robert Guerrero, or will Guerrero earn his 15th consecutive victory over Berto?

Knockout artist Randall Bailey: "I want to fight guys that want to fight and guys that feel the same way that I feel. I don't want to go 12 rounds ... I want those Marvin Hagler-Tommy Hearns types of fights."

Trainer Kevin Cunningham on Devon Alexander: "I'll be sitting down with Al [Haymon] to figure out what the next move is, but if we have to fight our mandatory, which is [Kell] Brook? No problem, and that's basically me letting the IBF know."

Andre Berto said the positive drug test "didn't have anything to do with any type of drug enhancement, or any type of testosterone or EPO or none of that type of stuff."

Robert Guerrero expects to see the "same old" Andre Berto during their HBO-televised clash on Nov. 24.

Randall Bailey: "Eventually, I'm going to catch up to Devon Alexander. And when I do, it's going to be trouble for him."

Promoter Lou DiBella: "I don't care who you are, if Randall Bailey hits you on the button, you're going to be knocked out."
