Strange that Kotelnik retired after such a career topping performance on HBO against Alexander.

Doesn't seem like 4 years ago at all.

It depresses me to know Kotelnik hasn't fought since he was robbed. Who knows what happens if he gets the rightful decision that night?

Even with his lack of power Kotelnik is a pretty good fighter. With that said, I thought he came on very strong in the last third of the fight, maybe even a little more, I just didn't think he did enough in the beginning to win the fight with Devon. By the way I was pulling for him to win. I also found it rather strange that retired in the middle of a rather decent career.

I'm glad Kotolnik is back! This is a guy who beat Maidana and arguably Alexander. He doesn't have much power but he is a hell of a boxer.

I'm looking forward to seeing Usyk against some of the top CWs
