I'm Devon's biggest fan here and I saw it LIVE...

[LIGHTYEAR]

every fighter that has ever put on gloves has had a bad fight, point is learn, move on & pay close attention to your circle, u might have to make a choice leave and get better or be loyal and lose out. but that's a decision for down the road not now

[SERVILEV]

I scored it for Alexander.

Time for unifcation.

and thats whats wrong with your dumb arse, Let me guess your Alltime favs
are Pwill and Calzaghe, cuz they just throw alot,lol O yea thats right u also duckweather lover

Nope, I still support my Devon. I'm a real fan.



Yea man, and we have VERY good seats.

I like Alexander, I saw him the first time on the Trinidad-Jones undercard back in January 2008. Great talent, decent power, terrific workrate...but I've always seen Timothy Bradley as a bigger force despite his lack of punching power. He looks like he's really always up to challenges and always comes in terrific shape. That's my favorite fighter out of all the ones out there in every division.

Having said that, it's nice to see real fans who stand behind their fighters and don't start jumping off the bandwagon (like many are right now). The Urango KO was eye-catching, but if I remember correctly Urango started coming on in the mid rounds before that timed uppercut caught him.

Judging from last night's fight, Devon dislikes pressure and it's insane how many jabs landed (assuming punch zone was accurate=120?!). Either Alexander had an off night, or Kotelnik really IS a great fighter. I hope it's the latter.

I need to watch that fight again without my heart racing like it was yesterday night. Punch stats reflect that Alexander was the busier fighter and landed more punches overall. The problem was that Kotelnik's high guard pressure style with the insanely timed jab never allowed Alexander to get momentum going. Add to the fact that Alexander was horribly cut, it made Kotelnik as if he was going to take it.

In the end, we all got a great fight (actually two great fights) and I personally would like to see where both Alexander and Kotelnik head towards after this.

Man, great post. You made a lot of great points. I saw it live, but I definitely need to see it again on TV. I'm hoping that nothing but comes out of this for Devon as this was his first real test as a young champion. Props on the post.

yea coach i havent seen it yet. dam i hope its on tv today lol

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Very honest. At least you're not in denial like Burner and Bully. Those guys are embarrassing themselves

[Dick Buffman]

At least you're man enough to admit it coach.

I don't see how you could give him more than 4 rounds. It'll probably look worse on tv. He's just lucky Kotelnik ain't a puncher.

Pretty bad robbery in St. Louis last night.

Very honest assessment Coach, I myself had Alexander winning 7-5 rounds just!!! I feel Kotelnik's punches did more damage and he blocked a lot of alexander's punches which made he frustrated, Kotelnik just didnt press enough more where i thought he had a chance in maybe even winning the fight by KO.

So you gave Alexander 7 rounds for throwing punches from the wrong distance that landed on gloves and forearms?

But because he threw more you gave him the rounds?
