Comments Thread For: Kotelnik: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Told Me I Beat Alexander!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In a recent interview with the Russian press, former junior welterweight champion Andriy Kotelnik said he discussed last Saturday's performance with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in St. Louis. Mayweather was a special ringside guest of promoter Don King. He watched the contest between Kotelnik and WBC/IBF 140-pound champion Devon Alexander. Kotelnik made a good showing but lost a twelve round unanimous decision to the champion. There have been debates on which fighter should have received the decision [Click Here To Read More]

I thought Floyd and Devon were friends? It's a bit of a weird thing for him to say, even if he does believe it.

a spade is a spade, whats understood ain't gotta be said.

This must really hurt Alexander and his fanbase.

Not for nothing Alexander been kind of ****in on Floyd in his interviews. I think they are ok with each other. I just think they call it how they see it.

Where is that guy southcentral?!? He is a ***** and an Alexander fan who had Alexander winning the fight. I like to know what he thinks about this.

kotelnik clearly won that fight, and he won that fight kinda like how floyd wins his fights, ie, neutralises his opponent's offense and lands clean hard counter shots himself. for that reason i am not surprised that floyd understood the truth of what happened in the kotelnik/alexander fight. the kotelnik fight kinda reminded me of floyd/de la hoya a little. in that fight oscar threw a lot of showy combos that hit nothing but floyd's guard that sent the crowd wild. however, any sane person could see that oscar's punches were being blocked. that is exactly how i saw alexander's work against kotelnik - very showy and very ineffective. i think this was a much worse robbery than people realise, and hopefully once alexander is shown up further by khan, bradley etc, people who scored for alexander will re-evaluate their position. lederman's scorecard was absolutely ridiculous, and even people who scored a close decision for alexander must agree...

They are friends. I've even heard that Floyd is trying to get Devon on his team. And, I'm Devon's biggest fan on here and I saw the fight live, like Floyd, and I said the same thing. I even made a thread about it.

This just solidifies the fact that Kotelnik got robbed. You got someone with a big race chip on their shoulder giving props to a white Ukrainian dude over his black acquintance; I give Floyd props for the first time (not that he cares).
