So seems like most everyone thinks alexander should have 3 losses, oh what marketing and hometown advantage can do for ya in boxing, in no other sport can a loss turn into a win...I wasn't aware maidanas going up to 147 sort of blows, would have loved to see him in with matthyse, guerrero, rios all awesome fights, still can be made just one weight class but still...
Kotelnik fight was close, but Alexander DEFINATELY lost to Matthysse.Quote:

more of a bruiser though. he beat Matthysse as an amateur. google it. the story of it is worth a read.Quote:

I actually think both fights were just as controversial, i see Kotelnik landing all the head snapping and clean punches vs Alexander.Quote:

He was very lucky to get those decisions.
Alexander-Mythese was a clear robbery. There's just no other way to put it.
In fact, i bet $100 with my friend that night and I picked Alexander but I felt too ashamed to even take the homie's money so i let em slide..
That was a robjob in the Louie..
You have a heart of gold ;DQuote:

I totally agree. Alexander aint that great. He should have lost to Mathyse (robbery) . He lost to Bradley, and should have lost to Kotelnik (bad decision) . So he should be on a 3 fight losing streak. Only way Alexander is winning is by judges giving him gift roundsQuote:

Even in the UK , I think Ward beats Froch. Too good of a boxer for him. I hope Maidana ko's Alexander. Mathysse had him hurt, so I think Maidana will also .Quote:

Well i thought the Maythesse fight was draw pretty much and i think i gave a score card. I think he got enough of the earlier rounds to get the draw Maythesse gives up far to many of the early rounds.
Yeah he will outbox froch if froch decides to box but froch won't box this time!!Quote:

Froch will pascal on ward me thinks, froch is too fit too many punches too much chin and the ability to fight back dirty.
Speed will not be a factor in this one unless your as fast as dirrell and ward is no faster than pascal

I highly doubt Froch will ever have the option to really box with Ward, and Ward is everything else better than Pascal... Looking forward to that fight though and don't write Froch off I just think he won't get to Ward the way he'd need to.
