Kotelnik can do no worse then he did when he fought Khan, I'm confident Alexander will outpoint him very easily and land more punches then Khan did againt Kotelnik.

I expect a very wide UD for Alexander, since Kotelnik has good defensive abilities, but I have a feeling alexander might be focused on bigger fish that he wants to fry in the coming months. Kotelnik is a cagy defensive Clottey like fighter who may pose Alexander some trouble. Lets not forget how he put it on Khans ass in the last few rounds, and won the championship rounds while Khan ran. If Alexander doesn't overlook him he should win a very wide dominant decision that saturay, however, if he took training easy then it might be a tough competitive scrap for the great.

I was just about to make a thread on this whole card coming up. Anyways, dude is focused. I actually thought he was overlooking Urango when he and Bradley did all the talking back and forth. But from the interviews that I have heard here, he seems to very focused and in shape. He has mentioned Bradley and what he will do to him though. But he says that his mind is on Kotelnik.

will be along night for alexander if not lose

he does not have the handspeed/workrate/awkward style of khan

both fighters are very technical, the one with the better gameplan takes this one imo

Other than Kahn Alexander is the second fastest in the division. He is also a bigger puncher than Khan.

Alexander is a slick southpaw, very accurate, good foot and hand speed with respectable power and a decent chin to go with all that. On the other hand Khan does have a high workrate and is fast but he has **** accuracy.

Huh? Handspeed? Dude has fast hands AND he can crack...and he is a southpaw. I see him being a problem for the whole division.

Easy fight for Alexander, Kotelnik is a good soild pro, but will not be able to cope with the speed of Alexander, doubt Alexander will be able to stop him, but will win wide on points imo

He has nothing to worry about, Kotelnik isn't much of a puncher and can be overly defensive. Alexander has this one in the bag, trust. The only problem I see here is that stylistically I don't see Alexander puttin' on a good showing due to the style clash. I've been saying this for the longest, hopefully I'm wrong.

Completely concur. Devon is a g'damn gym rat and is way too zoned in right now to overlook a solid B level boxer like Kotelnik. This one probably goes to a lopsided UD for Alexander where the last 3 or so rds shows Devon just having fun in there and cruising to get some work in.

I hope Alexander isn't overloooking Kotelnik.
