was devon just star struck? did the bright hometown lights get to him?
his feet were all over the place.
Where did his urango power go?
he was punching air half the night.
he was swinging like a musclebound guy.
man. that post fight interview with max...sheesh!
him with buggy unblinking eyes all night.
give him a drug test

It was a very good fight..Kotelink really impressed Me!! & I'm sure Kotelink impressed others as well..The fight was very close(a lot closer than what the judges & Letterman from HBO had it) But it could have gone either way..I don't think it was a highway robbery(like a lot of people are claiming here) like for example Whitaker-Chavez or Lewis-Holyfield I or Whitaker-Ramirez I, those were MAJOR ROBBERY'S, but it was very close & some rounds were hard to score, so I could have even seen a draw..If Kotelink would have attacked Alexander's body more(like his corner was telling to do) I think Alexander would have been winded by the end & Kotelink would have convinced enough to get the rounds & the win..

Max and Bob tried to keep it real: Lederman should be ashamed of himself.

You don't win fights by punching at the air: you win them by hitting people with clean, hard punches. Which Kotelnik did to Alexander all night.

Lederman was on the take, every time he explained his reasoning, both Max and Bob would mumble and make little noises as if to mock Lederman but did not want to cause drama during the card...so obvious they thought dude was a joke

Hbo is bigoted and racist and lederman is a ****in moron who needs to retire!!!! I don't care for the rest of the fight and yes kotelnik got robbed but how can hbo have "expert" scorer who gave round 8 to Alexander???? I mean kotelnik almost had him out cold on his feet!!!! I think lederman can hear better than he can see because all Alexander did was yell every time he threw a punch and lederman assumes they all landed!!! Alexander sucks and both khan and Bradley ktfo him in a heart beat!!! I'm canceling my hbo because they are very racist and one sided and didn't even care to interview the guy that truly deserved this fight!!! What a ****in shame

IMHO the European won the fight or maybe a draw. Its true Alexander was busier but a lot of the punches didn't land, threw a lot to the air. On the other hand, Kotelnik was more accurate, scored more and the better punches and controlled the fight after the 4th round!!!

I haven't see the fight yet but going on this thread it sounds like Devon got lucky and made it hard work, damn as I had Devon down as the man at 140 but khan put a beating on kotelnik and shut him out easily, this 140 division could be more exciting then I first thought, let's hope khan grows a pair after seeing that and stops chasing and challenging smaller men and fights his own weight

[the niggest]

Khan won almost every round against Kotelnik and beat him with ease... Lol.

alexander did not win this fight....i think a fight wit him nd bradley wuld be a bit borin they both like 2 stay on tha outside neither one is a huge puncher bt i think bradley would have tha edge cuz devon gets tired way to quick nt juss this fight bt in his other old fights as well nd i think khan wuld beat both of them cuz he has freddie roach i mean i dont like roach bt i respect him nd kno hes one hell of a trainer he can come up wit a game plan 2 beat both bradley nd devon
