Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander-Andriy Kotelnik Gets Closer For August 7

[Iceta Lives]

heck even vivian harris would be better,he lost his last fight due to a poor stoppage,if someone deserves another chance it's him

No way, he's beyond shot.

Let them go ahead and fight, so they can lose money and then hopefully a better fight will be made...Sooner or later the promoters will learn that we don't care about perfect records and all that junk...just fighters who want to fight...

Alexander isn't at all protected. Very few fighters take on the level of opposition he has faced at his age.

He is younger than Khan and IMO has faced better opposition and pursued better opposition.

Khan and Alexander are both 23. And while Alexander is more impressive, he really hasn't faced much better opposition than Khan honestly. Or at least vastly better opposition. Truth is, Bradley's resume stands head and shoulders above anyone else's at 140. Now Alexander is the better fighter than Khan, but going by opposition I don't quite see a wide gulf between them, especially if Khan beats someone decent July 31. If we are going to play the everyone's ducking everyone game, then Don King protected Alexander against Judah, and he's ducking Kaizer Mabuza.

Kotelnik vs Maidana was one of the better fights from last year.

It will be here in the Lou, so I'll be there.

Khan copped so much **** on this forum for fighting Kotelnik,yet the same ****ers that were ****ting on him for that seem to think its fine for Alexander to fight him!

This is what's wrong with boxing as a whole, everybody wants to be a big money super star but noone wants to work for it. There are 30 champs at 140 and one of them wants any parts of each other....BUT they wanna scream out Manny and Floyd's name like they really have a chance in hell against either one. How in the hell u gone fight Floyd or manny after fighting C+ and B- level fighters? Gimme a frickin break.

Meh, I was hoping for Alexander - Ortiz

Hopefully the top 4 all fight each next after their next round of scheduled fights.

Kotelnik is a real solid fighter. He isn't too exciting so all the morons think he is a bum. I actually think Khan's best win might be Kotelnik, not Malignaggi.

This is a good stay busy fight for Devon and a pretty safe bet for a win on HBO. If he knocks him out then it will be a big statement.
