bottles anyone? quit crying like babies. if kotelnik was a better fighter than he is. he would've won the fight.

You must be a teenager and still in the 4th grade ! You are a dumbass, if you don't know boxing , then shut up and just watch, and learn.

Alexander got his azz whipped. Great guy, but he got a true hometown decision. I dont think Europe is this bad when American fight over there. I complained about Dirrell vs Froch, but it was a very close fight. This fight, however; was not closed. Damn, HBO didnt even ask any questions to Kotelnik.

That the boxing press won´t stand up for Kotelnik is basically admitting defeat. It has become accepted, that fighters get robbed and the results are sugar-coated. HBO, *********, MaxBoxing, Boxingscene, wherever you´ll go, nobody will stand up for Kotelnik, who couldn´t even get a word on air. It might not kill us ****** diehards, but it won´t turn any young fans into boxing fans. Once this generation tunes out, boxing will be dead in America. Not televised on HBO dead, totally dead.

Ortiz is scared of Maidana, Khan is scared of anyone with decent power. Neither one beats Tim Bradley.

Agreed.

I will go further.....
Neither Ortiz nor Khan are even on Bradley's level, yet.

And I don't hate Ortiz or Khan.

again clowns. alexander was garbage tonight but kotelnik is just a average fighter with no upside. he is what he is. maybe if kotelnik gets in there with somebody thats just as slow then maybe he can win.

Devon clearly won the fight he was the busier fighter he carried the action for most of the fight Kotelnik caught with some clean punches but mostly one hard shot at a time if he threw more combos maybe he could have dropped him a few times this fight reminded me of PWill vs Martinez one guy landed the cleaner punches but mainly it was just 2 at a time the other guy was busy all night long kept throwing punches in bunches and won the fight

dude u should stick to watching ****ing armature fights

clean effective punching thats how pro boxing should be scored

and u should seriously be ashamed
Alexander clearly lost

alexander did not look good at all but kotelnik is what he is. if he were a better fighter he would've won the fight plain and simple.that said alexander will get knocked out by bradley

NA, more like Kotelnik won, and if the fight was not in the US the judges would have given him the victory.

[The Prophet]

It was a close fight but I thought Kotelnik was more effective. The whole busier fighter thing drives me nuts. Who cares if you're busier if you're not landing and the majority of your shots are blocked? Busier, yet he was outlanded by like 25 punches, and for the most part Kotelnik's punchers were far cleaner and landing flush. Alexander even admitted his legs gave out in the 12th. This whole unofficial 140lb tournament doesn't really matter anyway. No disrespect to Alexander, Bradley, or the rest of the 140lb division, but they'd all get starched by Pacquiao.

?

All judges had 116-112 for Alexander? I dunno about that 1 folks. The next issue of The Ring magazine shud give a Magoo to Harold Letterman- what fight was he watching? He scored 2-3 rounds for kotelnik, which is way off.. I saw a draw114-114 or I'd even say 115-113 for Kotelnik

I agree. Alexander, Khan, and Ortiz have good upsides but Bradley is clearly the best right now. I think Alexander would win more convincingly in a rematch. Devon was never hurt and I don't think he respected Kotelniks power (which is y Kotelnik landed so many clean shots).
