Devon Alexander won a close fight....that simple

[PrinceCharlez]

Some fans need to get a clear understanding on what a ROBBERY is. Losing a close fight isnt a ROBBERY, but beating a fighter majority of the the rounds and losing is a ROBBERY.

Last night's fight between Alexander & Kotelnik was a close fight and IMO could've went either way. I had Alexander clearly winning the majority of the rounds the first half of the fight. Kotelnik's pressure style was taking a toll on Alexander and he clearly won the majority of the rounds the second half of the fight. No fighter IMO was getting beat clearly so the fight could've went either way or been a draw. I didnt agree with none of the score cards last night and thought the fight was way closer. Both fighters fought a sloppy fight and didnt impress me not one bit.

Alex had home court advantage and pulled it off at the end. That goes to show you, "never leave your fate in the judges hands"...just never know what can happen..

Kotelnik dominated the second half.

How did he "Dominate" the second half of the fight? Hitting Devon with one or two good punches a round isn't a dominating second half fight. Kotelnik wasn't active enough and didn't put his foot to the pedal when he should have. When you're in the other guys backyard you know in the back of your mind you have to win very convincingly to get the decision. I'm not saying thats right but thats how it is known to be in boxing.

Exactly,Kotelnik would land two,three SOLID punches a round,and people think that grants him to win the fight? Cumon man,even if Alexander is missing alot,hes still outworking him,u gotta take the title,if this was the case,Margarito beat Paul Williams then? NOpe

I gave Alexander 4 out of the first 6 rounds (he landed some good body shots, and I think landed more overall the first half). I gave Kotelnik the last 6 rounds.

Alexander was just hitting gloves and air the entire 2nd half of the fight.

eh? Alexander's head was being snapped back all night. Who gives a **** about activity? Kotelnik landed more punches, he landed the cleaner shots BY FAR. He stalked Alexander about the ring in the 2nd half. All he had to do was bounce back when Devon threw his predictable combination then jump in with counters. It was simple and effective. It was a boxing lesson to be honest

[Dick Buffman]

Rewatch that fight.

Kotelnik won pretty much every round and did it pretty easily.

[Kagami Taiga]

yea sure koltenik landed more punches, but they were jabs. jabs snap ur head back but he still wasnt throwing enuff. if u look at the compubox stats in a lot of those rounds, alexander threw more and landed just about as much, expecially considering that more of his shots were power punches, it baffels me how anyone could think this was a robbery.

i think ppl on this site are just too eager to be up in arms about ****.
