Comments Thread For: HBO Not Interested in a Bradley vs Alexander Rematch

[zte89147]

Bradley/Alexander don't have the "it" factor. Lack of charisma, no crowd pleasing style so it's no surprise that HBO, the 300+ fans that paid to go to the fight and whoever stayed awake during this fight were half asleep.

There was at least a couple thousand there and the majority of people wanted Alexander to win, that is why it was so quiet.

For those complaining about the attendance, it was announced at well over 6,000. Not saying that's spectacular but darn better than anyone thought.

And yeah the fight wasn't great cause of the styles but it HAD to happen. You don't have the two top undefeated fighters in a division not fight cause of a clash of styles. It had to happen. It did. Bradley won and let's move on.

Khan-Bradley SHOULD be a very good fight. Khan comes forward and Bradley certainly has shown he will even if he's not a knockout artist.

We need these fighta to determine the best.

Don King probably bought up a few thousand tix to make it look better.

Even 6,000 people is PATHETIC for a match that was *supposed* to be a SUPERFIGHT.

Alexander is a hype-job and anyone who saw Kotelnik beat his ass shouldn't have been surprised at his b*tch-out in this fight.

If Bradley won -- and I thought he did, easily -- then Kotelnik was robbed, because he beat up Alexander in a far more impressive fashion than Bradley did.

Thank you HBO.

The fight was struggling to generate interest and now i persume that interest has taken a nosedive, the fight was poor and devon i think is just one delusional kid, hes nowhere near as good as he thinks he is, he got smacked around at home by kotelnik and now bailed out of his biggest fight with a stinging eye, what a joke, his left side was unmarked yet he was holding it, one confused dude imo

This is more exciting than the actual fight.

Nobody wants to watch Black American boxers anymore. All they do is hug, push, talk, hold, and run. Fans prefer Latinos, East Europeans, and Asians.

HBO Made A Mistake

These guys didn't deserve to headline any telecast! Alexander's claim to fame was a KO victory over a Colombian version of Mayorga. Urango didn't respect his power and that's why the KO came. Urango didn't throw a wild hook with his chin in the air against Berto because he respected his power. Martinez has a less than 50% KO record but if you look at the Williams II fight you would think he's a KO fighter. HBO bought into the hype of Alexander based on 1 fight. Bradley has 11 KOs in 27 fights and I still have those Holt knockdowns in my mind. I'm not disrespecting these guys, I'm just putting them where they belong. They are just good fighters nothing more nothing less. But, to say that Manny must fight Alexander or Bradley at 147 as Kellerman did on the Williams Martinez II telecast shows that HBO's analysts and brass both have their heads up their a**es.

so two slick black afro american that was supposedly be the two best jr welterweights couldnt even stir crowd noise...couldnt fill the alotted seat in the stadium, and bored the crowd, the commentators, and the people on hbo...

ive seen these two guys fight before and i knew it was gonna be boring...both guys have boring styles...

i rather watch two non-americans fight, more action, more everything
