    God Damn thank you...I've never seen such a bunch of ****ing bitching and crying for the slug who came over the pond, got his shot in the sun, and didn't have the ****ing sack to do what his corner begged him to do and "FIGHT" this man. I'm tellin you all, I think he could have won if he had stepped it up and really pressured the kid, but he didn't he sat back on his ass and let the younger fighter out ****ing work him, bottom line. Kotelnik isn't a "kid", he's a grown man, he didn't do the work...he did just enough to get by, had he worked more than 30 seconds a round, he very well could have come out on top...but he didn't bottom line.

    It was a highway robbery and 1 of the worst ive seen in many years .... but not top 5 all time.

    You idiots that actually think Lederman or the judges were even remotely accurate need to get your vision tested or just switch over to UFC as you obviously have no idea how to score boxing.

    After my 2nd viewing I would like to see a list of worst robberies of all time. This IMO eclipses burton/augustus which was a **** poor scored fight.

    Definitely one of the worst scored fights on the last 10 years.

    Well "us", Lederman, ALL three judges, The Associated Press, ESPN, Yahoo Sports, ***********, essentially every major media outlet in the world and "us" had Alexander winning but I'm sure the professional judges in the Arena who all scored it exactly the same btw, the men/women around the world who make their living evaluating and reporting on boxing, along with the contingent of fans who had Alexander winning are all wrong and You and the Euro's, the Manny fans, and the anti-hype crowd got it all right. Cool point taken.

    It was the wrong decision but the fight was close. Devon lost the boxing match but he outworked Kotelnik throughout the fight even in the rounds Kotelnik dominated. It was a close fight that should have gone to Kotelnik in my opinion but I think the score cards is what everyone is really upset about. NO WAY anyone who has one decent eye could see Devon didn't win that by 3 or 4 rounds.

    Why don't you just admit that you score every ****ing punch thats thrown including the ones that hit nothing but air and gloves.
    Even the rest of the HBO crew knew Lederman was on crack that night, hell even Lampley said he saw Kotelnik ahead it was THAT obvious.

    And there are news sites reporting this as a bs decision now like Sky.
    More "press" that actually bother to watch the fight instead of just relaying the nonsense they were fed will report this as a robbery as well soon enough.

    I think everybody's going over the top on this. It was a fight that could've gone either way imo. The scores were too wide but it's not like Alexander never landed a punch all night like people are saying. There were some rounds that were hard to score, a draw or a point either way is what it should have been.

    Lol...no ****, the kid won a close fight, give him a ****ing break. You have thought he was knocked unconscious by Brady Prescott or something the way people are downing him.
