I had it 7-5 Alexander.
He pretty much outboxed Ortiz in the first half of the bout, cutting Ortiz' eye and causing a lot of swelling.
Alexander slowed down around the 7th round, didn't move as much and allowed Ortiz to get closer and steal some rounds..
Still, Alexander seemed to have an edge but didn't seem upset with the majority draw verdict.
Neither guy looked like a contender. Ortiz lacked a lot of his old zip on punches, but was game.
Alexander boxed nicely but doesn't appear to offer anything that would trouble the top welterweights.
