On my end, the hate comes as a result of Dawson's lack of class after the fight. That was ridiculous. I can understand off nights, but blaming...
I honestly don't see how someone can have Alexander winning this fight. Kotelnik clearly landed the harder punches and showed the better defence....
In theory, the three major North American titles are NABF (WBC), NABA (WBA) and NABO (WBO). Strangely, the IBF does not have a North American belt...
