Yeah, Xander did throw alot of punches, 82% of them missed, and or were blocked. On the other hand, we had a fighter that was timing the hell out of the jab, and landing almost everytime he threw it. Was cutting off the ring with a very educated left hook (so Devon couldn't spin out of it, and stay on the move), then would follow up with a right hand (that pretty much landed all night long)...Not to mention after round 6 or so, Devon's neck was getting snapped back with uppercuts on the inside. Devon did nothing on the inside...
I really can see no way anyone scored the fight for Devon...No way at all. Not to mention he was in constant retreat...He maybe landed 4 good punches in the fight. While the other guy was very, very soild for 12 rounds.
Oh well........

Yeah he needs a new trainer. The thing is people are reluctant to get a new trainer until it's to late. I understand that he basically raised him but he has to understand it will only benefit his game(I could imagine how hard it is).
He needs to work on head movement
Creating angles(he was either going straight back or forward)
Also he needs to go to the body more.

The good thing after his performance means Khan and Bradley might finally step up and fight him.

I'm now arguing with my dad, WHO USED TO BOX that saw it on tv, and he thinks that Devon won. I don't think so. Props to Kotelnik. Dude is a solid, solid fighter. Kotelnik timed the mess out of Devon and landed that str8 right hand when he wanted and he landed some nice hooks. If the Devon THAT I SAW tonight faces Bradley, he gets beat and maybe gets knocked out. I love Devon and I have always supported him and I will continue to because I am a BIG fan of his. But, this kind of performance won't cut it against the other top guys in the division.
Other note, I saw Floyd. Dude is little, after the fight he walked right by me. I tried to snap a shot, but he just shot me a salute and left pretty quick with a HUGE bodyguard.
Devon, let's step it up bro! Bounce back!
Devon shouldn't even be mentioned with Pacquiao. He wont even pass as Pac sparring partner. He's got a small head and so hittable. Pac will make him quit in their 1st sparring.

Devon ain't bad man, I love the dude's character but I feel that we all have to come back down to earth. People need to carefully study him and see that he has far too many flaws, flaws that he can fix though.

Originally posted by TintaBoricua View PostI 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.
