Aynone who says that Kotelnik was robbed vs. Witter...

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

...should also state that Maidana was robbed vs. Kotelnik and not "Kotelnik beat Maidana".


Or they just look like they're picking and choosing which fights to call 'robberies' to suit a shameless, blind pro-Khan (Great Blight Hope) agenda.




Or better yet, they should acknowledge that both were close fights and so neither qualify for 'robbery'.










BTW, lfc18titlesbutnonein20years,


I recall Khan being bashed more for running from the lightweights and jumping straight into a title-shot with the 140lb titlist most favorably matched to him, not so much for fighting Kotelnik per se.


The stage-managedness of it all, see? Moron.

I do think Maidana was robbed. But I think he only won by a point.

Honestly, the fight could've been a draw...Kotelnik won because the fight was over in Europe. Completely partisan crowd. dead silent whenever Maidana did anything. But one counter jab from Kotelnik whenever he decided to peek out of his shell, the place erupted.

Kotelnik landed a handful of overhand rights, and some timely jabs. the rest of the fight was a Clottey impersonation.

kotelnik got robbed against witter


kotelnik beat madiana by 2 rounds imo

[Sparked_1985]

I can't even remember that Witter fight and I definetely watched it.

If it's a close fight that Champion gets the edge.....pretty standard stuff

No, Witter-Kotelnik was a close fight. Kotelnik-Maidana also was a close fight.


A robbery isn't a close fight.


People need to stop abusing terms they clearly don't understand. End of.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Neither were robberies, just close fights but I feel Kotelnik had a better case for beating Witter than Maidana against Kotelnik

[Picazo]

kotelik isnt the greatest figher first of all...secoundly, maidana was robbed.

Maybe so, but it's subjective, and the cases aren't more than a round or two apart.


Point is the same, regardless.





I had to thread this outside the thread I was referring to, 'cause I'm on TS' list.
