Great work-rate by Cloud here in the late rounds.

Re: HBO 08-07-2010

116 - 112 for all the rounds? Really. I had it much closer than that. But the right person won IMO

Alexander looks sharp here. Good movement and accuracy.

I don't know about you guys, but Kotelnyk got robbed on my card; by a lot.

Alexander's work rate is what saved him. Kotelnyk was the more accurate puncher but he was out worked for much of the fight. Alexander had better work on his counter punching as Bradley can bang and has a solid work rate himself.

Alexander was more active but the scoring gap was far too wide.

Considering Alexander's activity and Kotelnik's more landed shots and better accuracy I thought the fight was pretty even.

I think this fight taps the brakes a little bit on the Devon Alexander hype. He's got a lot of work to do.

Totally agree. This is my first time seeing him deal with adversity, so let's see what he does to overcome it.

I thought Alexander lost.. Kotelnik was more accurate puncher and land some of the harder shots....

After rewatching it I could see a draw, but not a victory for Alexander. I just thought his punches looked fast, but falling short or hitting gloves. I thought Kotelnyk landed the effective punches, better ring generalship, and better defense. The judges gave him the benefit of the doubt for the close rounds I guess.
