    Okay lets talk about the facts here. Alexander vs Kotelnik was a good fight but Alexander pulled it out and I had it 7-4-1 Alexander. There were several sources and links that scored the fight for Alexander. Yahoo sports, Insidefights, Espn,Sweet science, Tsn boxing, Fanhouseboxing, Fightfan all had Alexander winning the fight.

    The Associated press, Sky sports, BBC, all gave praise to Alexander in the fight saying he won the early rounds and gritted it out against a game opponent to win the fight! You don't have to take my work for it, go these credible sources yourself.

    This B.S. that it was a robbery and worse score of all-time is not accurate with credible, dependable sources. Was the fight more competitive than advertise YES, but Devon won like I said against a game opponent.Also, Credible, non bias World boxing links said so as well!

    the reports to be frank are nonsense.

    like Time stated the BBC report is nonsense.

    I can't wait to read the Rings score on this fight in their next edition.

    Kotelnik pressed the fight all night, even though he didn't threw as many punches, he landed when he did.

    Like I said earlier, this decision is just as bad as Froch-Dirrell, I don't care what anybody writes or says.

    Nothing will change my mind. Landing clean and effective punches is what wins fights. Solely having a higher workrate does not a fight win. Calz-BHop is arguable, but I still give it to Calz, this and Froch-Dirrell are the biggest scoring abominations I have recently seen.

    This is what Skysports reported:

    Devon Alexander retained his WBC and IBF light-welterweight titles with a unanimous, if narrow, decision against Andriy Kotelnik in St Louis.

    The 23-year-old overcame the durable Ukrainian - the former WBA champion who lost his belt to Amir Khan last year - with all three judges scoring the contest 116-112.

    However, it was not an easy night for the undefeated champion, despite dominating the early rounds as he mixed his shots up well.

    Kotelnik (31-4-1), fighting for the first time since the Khan defeat 13 months ago, warmed to his task as he landed some crisp shots in the fifth and sixth rounds with Alexander momentarily bemused.

    The champion, now 21-0, upped his workrate in the next although he stuck riggedly to coming straight at his opponent, piercing Kotelnik's guard with regularity.

    The last four rounds were competitive with both fighters happy to trade blows, and although Alexander deserved to take the victory the Ukrainian exposed some defensive flaws the other belt holders at 140lb may now be keener to exploit.

    I dont see it.

    Just rewatched it. I gave one round to Alexander. There were a few close rounds, Kotelnik won by at least four. Most of Alexanders shots were blocked. Kotelniks shots were more clean and effective:deal. The first time I watched it i thought Alexander would be lucky to come away with a draw.

    Sorry but kotelnik landed more shots than devon and landed by far the cleaner and crisper shots too, 225 to 202 in total shots, alexander barely landed anything decent at all

    Wow, you all are really trippin. I can't believe some of you are gonna try to discredit reliable boxing sources that have been around for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and some as 80 years old. Also, with writers who been covering boxing for those amount of years (10-50 years writing and covering boxing). Some of these sources were have front row accounts of the fight.

    You just need to open your eyes, how does someone who lands more punches and clearly lands the better shots lose?? Ask these guys then!!

    Kotelnik controlled that fight and won it.

    Just like dirrell landed the better shots on froch but lost but in this case kotelnik landed far more telling jabs and combinations on devon but still lost, home cooking
