Ya'll hating on Americans need to stfu. Like bad calls don't happen all over the world. Germany and the UK are ****ing notorious for that ****.
i had alexander winning the first 5, and kotelnik winnng the last 7. i can understand some people giving alexnader 2 of the last 7 rounds. so i wont call it a robbery in terms of who won. but the fact that the judges had it 116-112, you just know they filled out the scorecards without watching the fight. as for lederman? what the fuk was he watching.
I had Kotelnik winning 10 rounds initially but maybe could give Devon a close round and make it 9. If you search hard maybe you can find another mercy round for DA and have it 8-4 for Kotelnik. Anything else is stretching it considering DA landed on gloves and air all night long. I could scarcely remember more than 1-2 good shots that he landed on Kotelnik all night that rocked his head back.
Watched it last night and had it 116-112 to Kotelnik. There were a couple of close rounds that I could just about understand why Alexander would have got the nod, so a draw is the best Alexander could have got in my eyes and even then that is pushing the boat a bit. 116-112 in his favour is shocking.
Ill have to watch it again but watching it the other night i remember alexander needing a knockout to win the fight. Hell even his own corner were pissed whereas kotelniks corner where relatively cool.
I had it 7-4-1 Alexander, I admit Kotelnik was game but no winner. He just wasn't busy enough and Alexander was. A fighter throwing punches and missing in which haters would have you believe is better than not throwing punches like Kotelnik was doing. You have to follow up on good shots and Kotelnik rarely did. Alexander, was more busier and had a HIGHER connect percentage.
