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

he got credit for bullshyt workrate

 

What am i leaving out? He doesn't say that he thinks that Alexander legitimately outpointed Kotelnik, he says that the official judges and Harold Lederman contend that he did.

 

Why am I not surpised that BigBone is trying to turn this into some sort of national consipricy?

 

Frankly BigBone, I can't trust your judgement here. I haven't read many reports on this fight. The only one I have read was Doug Fischer's. You included Fischer as one of biased American fighters who is in on the "cover up". However, the title of his article is "A work in progess". Not only that, but he states Alexander may have gotten an early Christmas gift in his article. Supposedly, two U.K media outlets have also scored the fight for Alexander. I think Kotelnik deserved the decision, but I think it's a bit of an overreaction on your part to say that American writers are all conspiring in Alexander's favor.

 

How does the "guy" being at the fight make his comment more relevant?

 

because the excuse for judges when they get a wrong decision is that they where at the fight and we where looking on tv
:good






yeah hbo covered this up like a rug over a coffee stain, kotlenik should of at least got an interview and some respect.

 

I recall when Lewis beat Holyfield the first time (it was really a draw officially) how the US media was 99.9 % percent in Lewis who is from England corner. Most thought Felix Sturm beat De la Hoya. Also most thought Foreman lost to Alex Shultz as well. I can name more but those are the more high profile fights.

 

This is almost pure conjecture. Give me an example where an American lost a fight that he deserved to win overseas where American writers were outraged. Was there a bunch of outrage when Dirrell didn't get the decision against Froch?

Isn't it interesting that you're always coming up with these conspiricies and accusations of bias whenever there is a fight involving an American and a non-American fighter? Did you ever stop to think that a lot of these media outlets are simply striving to write about happened and not involve any sort of personal opinons? I've gone back and looked at ESPN, SI's, FanHouse's and Yahoo's articles on the fight and they all give pretty general descriptions of the action. If you to the BBC's website, there article gives an equally general description of the fight. There is no conspiricy here.

 

So Fischer said Alexander got a gift. Here's an article from American writer Gabriel Montoya on the fight;

He doesn't but even though he gives some props to Kotelnik he never actually gives his opinion on who was the better man. This guy is supposed to be a boxing expert on a boxing blog not the Associated Press, Reuters etc. with their terse factual reports that "Alexander won a decision against Kotelnik"

He also never said that Devon recieved a gift, he said "Devon Alexander may have received an early Christmas gift..." There were a lot of ifs, mights, mays, possiblys but no concrete opinion on what he saw. He was doing damage control but he was also thinking of his reputation. We'll see what he says in his weekly mailbag...

 

This.
