    It wasn't a great fight but it was no robbery and Kotelnik didn't win more than half of the rounds. 90% of posters like you learned of the robbery from other idiots on the net and have never bothered to watch the fight. The only questionable decision that night was Cloud over Johnson. Johnson had the best performance of the night and came away with nothing.

    Alexander vs Kotelnik was a close fight that could have gone either way but I did think Kotelnik deserved the "W" because he definitely landed the much better shots round after round, from the 5th one on...

    Both guys are solid . . . Alexander beat Kotelnik despite what some people think. If Bradley could turn over on his punches more (which he did a bit last night), He could be a great fighter. He has to stay at 140 though because he is way to small for 147.

    I personally like Bradley's relentless style (it has grown on me), but I hate his nickname . . . desert storm . . . come on . . . the name reflects American imperialism and is the main reason why the US is hated around the world. I think he beats Khan but I hope Amir whips his ass if not for only that reason.

    Watch another sport. The single worst post on esb since some guy said he thought Otkke beat Reid.

    Absolutely no one is over-hyping these guys. Both are solid guys in a very solid division. I do not see anyone beating either guy easily. the only hype around them being americans was in the lead up to the fight. neither guy got the lacey hype job or, the Hatton, or the Calslappy to name a few.

    No it doesn't. He's the top guy in a good division and undefeated.

    Cunningham labelled alexander a cross between hagler and mayweather LOL, now why would people continue to build a guy up who got beat up by a gatekeeper in kotelnik is beyond me, sorry but you cant use the bad night line now or maybe it was 2 bad nights. It looked more like a fight between two sluggers than anything else imo

    Think of it this way before Bradley beat Alexander he was rated as a P4P fighter by the bias Ring magazine, so consider it this way if I compare Bradley to a pre Calzaghe, Kessler.

    Not in order of who they fought and when but comparing results and showing how bias things are

    Bradley went to the UK and beat Witter for his WBC title, a good away win for Bradley, by SD
    Kessler beat Siaca for his WBA SMW belt. A clear inside the distance victory
    Overall a Better result for Bradley

    Bradley then defends against Edner Cherry
    Kessler beats Mudine away who was a world rated fighter and former champ who after losing to Kessler becomes champ again
    Overall a better result for Kessler

    Bradley has a unification fight with K Holt being knocked down twice and getting a close decision.
    Kessler has a unification fight with Beyer a far more established world champion and wins in the 3rd round
    Overall a better result for Kessler

    Bradley was beating old Nate Campbell from a lower division but the fight ended as a NC due to an illegal headbutt
    Kessler beat old Lucas from his division
    A better result for Kessler

    Bradley beats undefeated Peterson
    Kessler beats undefeated Andrade
    A better win for Kessler

    By now Bradley is rated as a P4P fighter and Kessler as a European nobody who hasnt fought in America

    Last nights horrific fiasco was a double exposure of u.s. hype jobs, with the cliched tough background story for both fighters for added effect.

    Read below
    Also consider that Kessler had fought better quality overall on the way up and was 39-0
