Honestly now I'm torn, Devon was not able to hurt Kotelnik at any point in the fight, Khan actually did a better job in beating Kotelnik. Second how can a light hitting Kotelnik outslug Alexander at times. Anyhow this will just make the 140 pound division more interesting, making Amir Khan looking ahead of the pack.
To me it's still 50/50. I just thought Alexander had an off night with a style that made him look bad. I still believe he has the potential to be a p4p fighter.
I haven't seen the fight yet, but Andriy Kotelnik is a tough nut. I mean if Marcos Rene Maidana couldn't stop him. Then Devon Alexander surely won't, Andriy Kotelnik is good at what he does.Quote:

Kotelnik beat Alexander quite clearly imo.
I favored Bradley to beat Devon before last night though.
Bradley beats yestrerday's version of alexander and he does it easily. So do a lot of other guys.
I agree 100% with this statement. I had some family over last night so I was in and out of the fight but from what I seen was alot of flashy punches that did not land from Alexander and Kotelnik stepping in with counters of one's and two's. I thought Lederman was smoking crack last night I had 7 to 5 for Kotelnik.Quote:

Alexander could not handle AK being on him and never stepping back, he did not like the exchanges, he did not like getting countered and he did not like being stalked without room to breathe...
Bradley would counter him, not give him room to breathe, make him fight at his pace and Bradley loves to keep busy, Bradley has also proven thus far that as the fight wears on he adjust quite well against opponents....
The Tshirt was asking for trouble.,...If Cunningham was smart he would do his best to steer clear of Tim Bradley until some major repairs were made...
Alexander kept looking over to PBF as if Floyd could tag in WWE style for a few rounds...If Bradley seen something like that during a meeting he would just pick up the pace....I like Alexander as a FUTURE big name and P4P fighter in the sport...That is not today
