    Yes, he won. Yes, he was busier. Yes, he showed flashes of brilliance. But, at the end of the day, I wasn't too impressed. I'm a fan of Alexander's, and I understand Kotelnik's no bum, but I was expecting just a little bit more from Devon.

    Flashes of brilliance? I don't think we were watching the same fight.

      Maybe a little exaggeration on my part. But I didn't want everyone to think I was a hater.

          No way did he win that fight, he is a bum, simple as that

            Now that's just going a little too far.

              He ain't no bum, but his victory over Witter ain't great. Witter is better than that but he couldn't show it.

              His KO victory over Urango is overrated too, which is why everyone expected him to blitz Kotelnik away.

              I think Alexander is good, but he's young and naive. He isn't ready for Bradley yet or Khan.

                I think his biggest problem is his stamina, he looks tailor made to start off bright against khan or bradley, then gas out at around round 7, end up losing all of the last 4-5 rounds and maybe getting k0d. He looked decent until round 6 I thought even though I had it 4-2 for him at that stage

                But he definitely lost the majority of the later rounds due to his lack of energy, thus him getting hit because of it

                    I wasn't impressed.

                    Kotelnik won imo.
