How's that US writers always find a way to cover up such a disgrace?

    Brilliant response, you obviously put a lot of time into this, the dude got outworked and outhussled. If you want to be "mad" be mad at the guy who fought 30 seconds per round, his corner begged him to take the fight to the kid, he didn't do it...that's his fault. Could he have won IF...maybe but by that logic If my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle.

    Alexander won the fight, but just barely not like some of you ******s on here have it. 115-113 Alexander
     
  3. For a minute there I was starting to get ganged up on. Glad to see there are some people on here with some common sense.

    I think Kotelnik landed the cleaner shots.
    I guess Alexander won on pure activity but my vote will always go for the cleaner most effectives hit.

    That being said, i agree totally with you. First about King Crimson :good
    and also about the tardness for involving skin color when it comes to analyzing a fight.

    And you're leaving out some too. The next sentence "Even if the undefeated dual titleholder legitimately out-pointed Andreas Kotelnik -- as the official judges and HBO’s “unofficial official” Harold Lederman contend -- he certainly didn’t live up to his hype."

    not one report that I have read has stated the Kotelnik was robbed, which is a shame because he blatantly was.

    The three judges, Harlold Letterman, ESPN, and Yahoo all had Alexander winning the fight, have you seen an unoffical card that reflects him losing the fight?

    It was already painted on the wall if Devon didn't win by early Ko he was gonna get alot of Haterade here. If he did Ko Kotelnik early then Kotelnik was a Bum.

    nonsense mate.

    Kotelnik is an Olympic silver medalist, he don't get them by being a bum, he is a technically sound boxer.

    that was the 1st time I've seen Alexander and I honestly can't see what all the hype is about.

    Give it a rest. The fight was a lot closer than the loud mouths bitching care to acknowledge. I think the fight was a draw but it wasn't close to an all time bad decision. Grow up.

    If that's the first time you've seen him I guess I can understand you don't see what the hype is about. My opinion hasn't changed, I still think he's the best of the 140lbers.

    I've seen Bradley a few times, I've seen all of Khan fights from his last year in the amatuers, I've read about Alexander.

    imho, Bradley is the man at 140, he can box on the back foot far better than Alexander can.

    Now I hope Alexander had an off night last night and is not another American hype job, because on that showing last night, and if I was Khan, I would be begging GBP to make that fight with Alexander and make it asap.
