Witters been booed plenty of times in the UK, he's not exactly Mr Popular amongst the casual boxing fans over here.
Probably Kotelnik is not much popular too in England, he is not even english or England-based fighter. Kotelnik still is known only by hardcore boxing fans. Or you want to say people have bought tickets because of hating Witter?
What I'm saying is I've seen the fight, scored it and it was a close fight and no robbery. Even Kotelnik himself 'only' thinks it was a draw, how is that a robbery?
I agree it was close, i scored 115-113 for Kotelnik while some rounds was very hard to score. After that fight i hate Witter for dirty stuff and showing off in late rounds like he is Shugar Ray, while he was outboxed by unknown underdog.
I had Kotelnik pitching a shutout, or maybe I gave one round to Rees. The fight wasn't even close though.
Nah! Kotelnik didnt think that it was a draw.His coach was boiling with rage when learning the outcome of his boy's encounter with Witter.Kotelnik's camp protested the decision some days later if I remember correctly.
