Like in Floyd fights, Floyd is far from busy and he's very accurate but he also makes his opponent be even less busier than him. Kotelnik on the other hand was very accurate and not busy and not doing anything to smother Alexander or make him stop throwing that many punches. You can't lose a fight if you throw over 1000 punches unless you opponent throws more. In this case Kotelnik wasn't even close to Alexander's work rate.

    and apparently to *****s this does not work in pac/may bout?

      You thought Khan-Kotelnik and Alexander-Kotelnik warranted the same scorecard.

        Nationality in boxing is unavoidable.

        The sport is built and driven by nationalism.


        Try telling Pinoy's not to wave the Philipine flag during the next Pac fight and see what they think about it.
        Being white had nothing to do with it. He was not from the USA or St Louis. He was not a Don King prospect for f'ucking and throwing over.

        If you think nationalism is what drives it you have a point. I prefer the idea of skill and hunger driving a sport.

        Thats what I like in boxers. Good skills and hunger to fight and win.

        The sport doesn't even get national coverage for national competitions in the UK. Lucky to get that when Brits fight abroad even.

            I'm used to it now.

            I expect it after fights now.

              I think some people mix up nationalism with race, but is totally irrelevant because it's different.

                I have to admit it gets annoying to hear the same two Eastern European crazies spout off about Another American hype job losing.... More of them are winning then losing.

                    Jez, if you disagree with my take on the fights then so be it. However I have not seen you root against a British fighter ONCE never.

                      What does that have to do with your clear inability to score fights?
