HBO was awful tonight...

Lederman was an absolute disgrace. He gave Alexander the first 5 rounds without any explanation. Then used the "busy" argument. I'd say 2/3 of Alexander's shots didn't even come close to connecting for most of that fight.

 

Yeah, I always thought getting credit for being busy meant you still outlanded the other guy even if he landed the better shots. :think

Kotelnik landed more punches overall along with being more accurate and landing the better shots. And, even though it's no judging measure, Kotelnik didn't even look like he was in a fight tonight- Devon sure as hell did by the time it was all said and done.

 

I dont think it was a robbery, he was the home guy and he fought hard, the other guy was effective but the total punches were close so it wasnt a robbery, it could had gone either way

 

Both fights were highly competitive and HBO gave lots of credit to both 'losers'.

These were two action fights, I guess you can never please boxing fans.

 

I thought Papa and Max were great and they surprised me in that they were even-handed. You know Lampley would have had the pom-poms out for Alexander. Lederman was definitively terrible in the second fight.

 

how come they never interviewed the "loser" kotelnik after that fight? ps-dont make excuses were no translators like they did last week with pirog ,the camp has english speakers.

& i corrected u...there was just 1 action fight. (johnson-cloud).

 

They should have definitely interviewed Kotelnik and Max as usual sucks at post fight interviews + only having a two man booth sucks

BUT

This was a very entertaining night of fights IMO, the main event being so competitive was a pleasant surprise, both fights were good.. Best HBO show since the Pavlik/Martinez event.

 

Why did Michael Buffer introduce Glen Johnson as "the legendary former LHW champ"??

I like Johnson but gtfo with that..
