Just wanted to get a few opinions. I know what I think and I was a bit surprised. I think the whole scene was too much for young Devin and he's extremely lucky to still have his belts. I think it was as close to a robbery as I've seen in some time.
Devin will learn a lot from this fight, but he got beat up. I have no idea why he was so inaccurate in there.
Kotelnik looked like the stronger guy.
He blocked almost ALL of Devon's punches.
Alexander looks like an amateur fighter and Kotelnik looks like a pro.
The way he timed Alexander was ****ing TEXTBOOK I mean ****ing brilliant.
The only time Alexander landed something hard was in the 10th round.
Kotelnik landed all the hard clean shots....Kotelnik hurt Alexander WAY more Kotelnik won that fight.
I dont get Harold Ledermans scoring in this fight....Alexander did nothing but get rocked the entire fight.
Give Kotelnik credit...he was brought in to be a soft touch and turned out being anything but.
This guy is a good veteran fighter and he is world class give him his due.
I believe he would have beaten Khan if Khan wasnt so freaking big for a 140 pounder.
Other than his speed Amir Khan is very ordinary and a knockout waiting to happen.
Lederman was a :crackhead

I had it 114-114. But i admit i gave all rounds i couldn't decide who won to Alexander, because they were fighting in his hometown. Definitely Devon didn't win, draw or Kotelnik.
The only persons picking Devon out there as the winner are american fans.
Not all of course.
Simple as that.
It's a very simple fight to score cuz the rounds aren't close.
Kotelnik won 7-5.
Any person giving to Devon the fight(seeing Devon winning 7 rounds) HAS AN AGENDA.
:boxing:
Just finished watching it and was disgusted. Kotelnik won that fight easy. i think if that was in nevada kotelnik might have won it. I didn't give devon a single round from round 5 onwards. he was getting lit up like a christmas tree. I thought he was about to go around the late moments of round 8 where he ate a 4 punch combo from kotelnik.
**** lederman from this day on..
Devon Alexander clearly won the fight.
Alexander landed and threw more power punches than Andriy.
Devon landed the more effective, clean and telling blows. He was cracking Kotlenik all night long with his straight left hand which broke through Kotelnik's guard consistently.
He demonstrated superior Ring Generalship and scored with more effective body punching.
Kotelnik was too inactive and his power punches did little damage.
Kotelnik only won 3-4 rounds at most.
Another Euro fighter bites the dust.
Steelhammer :bottle:
LOL what fight did you watch??
Kotelnik landed the cleaner punches..
Alexander was more busy....
I had the fight a draw...
I felt Kotelnik won a close but clear fight. There were quite a few questionable rounds though, so I don't have a problem with anyone scoring it a draw, or at most a one round victory for Alexander.
Alexander worked hard but ineffectively, all the while eating clean shots every round. In some rounds he won because of that workrate, but more often than not he gave the round away by just hitting glove. His head movement just wasn't there and nor was there enough variety to his offence to penetrate Kotelnik's guard.

Anybody else think Devon looked tight out there?
Yeah, he looked like he was trying to impress someone in the crowd a little too much. It happens. Juanma almost got ktfo by an unknown, Khan got ktfo by an unknown, Pacquiao was schooled by Marquez the second time (though that wasn't an off night). I think Devon bounces back, all he needs to work on is his upperbody movement, and circling rather than moving in straight lines.
If Kotelnik had world class power Devon would have been knocked out.
He was very jittery and OVER active in there.
Reminded me of Mosley in the Floyd fight...
exactly. being tight gets you tired much faster. that's why he has less left at the end of the fight.
kotelnik looked like the more experienced relaxed fighter in there
So his head movement was good relative to Kotelniks movement?
His lateral movement was good relative to Kotelniks movement?
No... it was non existent.
His footwork was good, but so was Kotelnik's.
I actually think Kotelniks footwork was better, because he used his footwork more effectively.
Alexander used his footwork to move away and circle, but was getting hit clean and flush as he did so.
On the flip side... Kotelnik used his footwork effectively by moving in closer to land his clean shots.. his footwork was very effective.
Devon used more, but wasn't as effective with it.
he changes his story every post, like adding the word relative in a few posts after he says how great devon's footwork looked.
