Get a grip, Kotelnik was in all the rounds, but was gettign edged in a lot of them. He landed cleaner, especially with his jab, which landed almost at will, but he kept losing the close rounds. Throwing one punch at a time, and simply got outworked.n I was very fair with my judgeing and personally had it 116-122 or 8-4. The rounds were close bbut Alexander was winning them.
Also I must say I was a bit disappointed that Alexander elected to trade flurries rather than sit down on his punches as we saw in the past. I told you guys that Kotelniks style would give Devon problems, since he elects to stay in the pocket at times when his inside game is still under development. When he was on the outside he did some excellent work, but I was also bothered by how he backed up a little too much in this fight and chose to look cute, whn he would stand his ground with guys just as strong as Kotelnik, like Urango. Styles make fight guys.
That said Alexander won the fight clearly going by round by round, he took almost all of the early rounds and split the mid to late rounds. Kotelnik is no joke either he is the guy who outboxed maidana a while back. I also must remind you guys Kotelnik vs Khan was also 8-4.
