I don't know why I But I don't really enjoy this fight to many miss/ sloppy punches idk. Could be I had to watch it on computer after work. Hope for a good fight though
Agree totally and Alexander claims to never be knocked out/down in his life which makes maidanas chances even slimmer though alexander did show alot weaknesses against Bradley so we'll have to see how it plays out
lucas sat his ass down with body shot if im not mistaken. maidana not going to be able to do that cause he dont put them together like lucas do to the body he was consistly beating the **** out his torso. devon will have a easier time with maidiana than lucas
100 mil devon to 50 mil madiana any taker
Once sergio start throwing them three straight punches he like to throw on his toes it's the beginning of the end jr but until that happen he'll be in the fight
And once JCC Superstar goes mexican fajador style like this, it will be good night for Martinez... but until that happens Martinez will be in the fight

I see u ridin out with your guy that's good. We just gotta wait till f*cking Sep to see
I think Broner would win he might emulate and copy Floyd but he's more of a finisher than Floyd is. The power is there but he should stop doing the shoulder roll it doesn't look like it works for him.
it work when caught dude with uppercut that was the start of the end
Defense is part of of counter-punching. A fighter who can counter without being hit is a superior counter puncher than one who gets hit more while countering. Saying that Marquez is just as good or better at counter punching is just false, it's not even an opinion at this point. Mayweather gets hit much less while counter-punching than Marquez does, plus he's a lot more accurate. It's as simple as that.
welp when you put it like that im going to have to agree
this thread is dissrespectful to the whole sport of boxing. these are ppl who fight for a living, that alone deserves respect. not to mention most the fighters in these pics are warriors who went out on their shields. they lost a boxing match, they didnt "get owned".
having these 12 year olds who never had a fight in their lives sit behind computer screens talking about how this guy bowed down and another was humiliated etc.
ppl might think im being oversensitive, but fighters are proud ppl. and they wouldnt take kindly to this shit. so these bitch ass cowards on here should stfu.
when your right your right. i agree with all of this
thats what i like to hear paul f*ck the got d*mn sh*t take those belts. im still leaning towards sergio. but at the end of the fight i shall stand up and say are u not entertain ppl
hopkins is fighting an uphill battle with this one. if win he need to look into hbo camera with that look, like he did in the pavlik fight and say ha patpatpts thats what your ass get for doubting me. cause unlike that fight my hopes of him winning are not too high.
Pascal got his ass handed to him by Froch. Hopkins is gonna school him unless he's totally shot like I think it's possible he may be.
your right, hopkins do it one more time. i wonder who gone be on the backfoot and who the aggressor
Devon..the guy doesn't have too much stamina..
please tell me someone else noticed this too.
when u throw that many punches and dont land cleanly your stamina will take a hit
Why are people making excuses, like the crowd? His first title fight was in front of like 8k people. He's always been a big draw in St. Louis, this is nothing new. And its not like Floyd's never watched him fight before. Cunningham's strategy was just very poor, and once Devon saw that it didn't work he couldn't adjust against that kind of style.
To beat a fighter like Kotelnik effectively, it takes very fast feet and head movement, which he clearly doesn't have. Devon cannot go in, throw combinations and then slip back out without getting caught. I've been saying that since before the Urango fight, and people kept making excuses. Its funny how everyone's agreeing with the stuff I've said now. That's why guys like Khan and Bradley would have an easier time with Kotelnik, but guys like Devon and Maidana have a harder time. Because they have the footspeed/movement needed to dominate. Ortiz would probably struggle too, especially with that safely first style because he'd be trying to beat Kotelnik at a game he's been playing since Ortiz was fighting guys like Clottey's brother lol
With that being said, he had a bad night, and he'll learn from it, just like everyone else does. But let's not act like these flaws weren't always there.
bradley always whup devon. knocking out urango was an optic illusion some people. ppl still annoying his flaws like bradley not gone pick up on him. im gone be e rich come january
Well ts you were dumb saying shit like he is the future and Bradley was ducking him based of fights against who for god sake?? Urango and a witter who Bradley beat and robbed kotelnik in england
he didn't look all that apart from the ko vs urango I had it close and Alex seemed to be fading a little. This is the same guy who got outboxed by hatton for 12th also
people cover up his flaws when he got that ko. there was no ko last night so it was nothing distracting them from seeing his weakness. best believe if he ko kotelnik in the 8 round they would have did it again cause nobody every ko him
Get a grip, Kotelnik was in all the rounds, but was gettign edged in a lot of them. He landed cleaner, especially with his jab, which landed almost at will, but he kept losing the close rounds. Throwing one punch at a time, and simply got outworked.n I was very fair with my judgeing and personally had it 116-122 or 8-4. The rounds were close bbut Alexander was winning them.
Also I must say I was a bit disappointed that Alexander elected to trade flurries rather than sit down on his punches as we saw in the past. I told you guys that Kotelniks style would give Devon problems, since he elects to stay in the pocket at times when his inside game is still under development. When he was on the outside he did some excellent work, but I was also bothered by how he backed up a little too much in this fight and chose to look cute, whn he would stand his ground with guys just as strong as Kotelnik, like Urango. Styles make fight guys.
That said Alexander won the fight clearly going by round by round, he took almost all of the early rounds and split the mid to late rounds. Kotelnik is no joke either he is the guy who outboxed maidana a while back. I also must remind you guys Kotelnik vs Khan was also 8-4.
i wanted ask u about what igg said in another thread but u didnt get around to answering it.

devon a good fighter i just aint sold on him yet. needs more time in the gym
A lot of the stuff that looked to me like they were finding the mark were grazing shots or being deflected. Alexander just threw so many damn punches from the outside that was hitting gloves and shoulders that it won him rounds at timse. I still think that Alexander taking the majority of the early rounds is what did not allow Kotelnik to win the fight, but after watching it again I scored it 6 rounds a piece and did not see a clear winner. Alexanders late flurries seemed to have swayed scoring.
That said I have to give it up to Kotelnik. Alexander has fought a few good fighters, and I have never seen him look bothered let alone be in a fight where his opponent could have been given a win.
In addition ALL fighters have bad fights, and Kotelniks style gave Alexander fits that a lot of other fighters will not. This fight reminded me a lot of Dawson vs Johnson one, with the faster more mobile fighter electing to trade, and moving back rather than circling in the process taking more shots than they should have.
I think an immediate rematch is in order here, and Don King should set up that fight now.
to late for that bully the bradley fight already in the works. the youngin got holes in his game that wont be fix by january. he gone lose his titles to bradley which will be good experience for him. the youngin was never ready for bradely now he in a position where he got to fight(well Devon still wants the fight as seen from last night)
let me start making bets now before ppl jump off the devon wagon completely
