Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO As am I. It'll be a good month. JMM last weekend, Devon tonight, and Chad next weekend, then Adamek and Ringondeaux. Arreola fights on Friday but personally I don't care about that fat fuck. Once he starts taking training and conditioning seriously I'll pay attention to him.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Random thought but I love it when fighters fight in their hometowns, the atmosphere is unbelievable.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO I saw an interview with Arreola last night on FNF and he looked out of shape to me still. I'll probably watch him on Friday, but it is not something thats a must see.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Kotelnik was much more active than he was in round 1 and is looking very good. 1-1. Alexander's hand speed advantage is pretty obvious though.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Alexander is so fast, its crazy. Alexanders corner guy is absolutely hilarious btw. Kotelnik doesn't look bad at all.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Gotta slip n' slide. Kotelnik is a very solid fighter but as Max pointed out he's the typical Euro fighter. His style is very limiting Alexander cut already.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Kotelnik is much more active in this fight than I remember him ever being.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Its a limiting style, but like they have said, its causing Alexander some problems so far in the fight.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Definitely has. Devon needs to remain patient. Have it 5-2 right now.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Kotelnik landed some good shots the last 15 seconds of the round there. I give the round to Devon but Kotelnik is doing some damage.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Not sure why Devon feels the need to close out the round slugging it out in the middle of the ring.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Like Max just said, pressure of the moment and the situation getting to Devon a little bit. Needs to stay away from that though.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Good fight, was a whole lot tougher for Alexander than I thought it would be. Was very impressed by Kotelnik, fought well.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO That'll come with experience. Tonight he can get away with it. Could get him in trouble against bigger punchers All judges scored it 116-112 which is how I had it. Devon gutted out a win, not sure how much of a factor the cut was. But it wasn't a impressive win, but it was a win.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Yep, no doubt about it, just gutted it out and did what he had to do to escape with a win.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO The "Bradley your next" shirt was a little much.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO Yeah, he doesn't need to do that. First Bradley didn't want to fight Devon because he felt Devon hadn't earned the right. Then Bradley calls out Devon. And now Devon returns the favor. Make it happen.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 RT @AndreBerto: they better never put me and Devon A. In the same breathe again smh.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8 In AC, tivoed the fight, how did Devon look and was Floyd there with King?
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8 Devon looked alright, was a tough fight for him tonight. Yes, Floyd was there with King.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Really? I don't even know what to say.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8 Looked OK, nothing more or less. Got cut, seemed to deal with it well and had a gutsy performance. Yeah he was there.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 He irritates me sometimes, this would be one of those times. I don't understand how he can have the utmost respect for Bradley, which he does, but doesn't want to be mentioned with Alexander.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 My guess is that it's a competitive/jealousy type thing. Both being young undefeated fighters looking to become the face of the sport once Pac/Floyd retire. Berto says this shit knowing that he won't be fighting Devon. Berto can't make 140 and Devon is very comfortable there with plenty of competition. Talking shit about a fighter you won't get into the ring with is a bitch move.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 You won't get an argument about that from me, I agree.
Re: Boxing Thread- The Future is Now, Devon Alexander tonight on HBO I read somewhere that HBO wants to make it happen January 29th. I thought Kotelnik fought well. He gave Alexander fits in some spots. I could see 116-112 or 115-113. I want to see Alexander/Bradley, Kahn/Madina, and the winners square off. I thought the Cloud/Johnson fight was a lot closer than the score cards. I could see it a draw or a one/two round win for either guy. I thought the 116-112 was a little much.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Seemed like Kotelnik should have won to me. Definitely not a unanimous decision for Alexander. This is where boxing pisses me off a bit.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Alexander sounds like a eunuch.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Just watched the Devon fight. Was very disappointed in Devon. I thought he lost the fight. I had it 7-5 Kotelnik. 116-112 across the board is your standard, don't get knocked out and you win home town decision. The T-Shirt was lame. The leg going out excuse was worse.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 RT @RossGreenburg: We're looking at a double-header of rematches between Bradley-Abregu II and Alexander-Kotelnik II to feature on HBO in January 2011. No PPV
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8 This is why boxing is so frustrating to follow. You've got the top 2 guys at 140 calling each other out and already looking like it won't get done. I love the no ppv like it was ever am option.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8 Agreed, but at least we know if both win these fights then Alexander/Bradley has to happen.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 fucking new apts bullshit internet just got back to tampa where i can get online, Cloud had a good performance and Devon looked decent, Harolds card sucked
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 does anyone actually want to see a Bradley-Abregu rematch the fight isnt worthy of a rematch, HBO can thank themselves for overpaying Berto thats why hes fighting guys no one cares about for over $1 mil
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Although HBO declined to show the upcoming September 11th fight title bout between IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KO’s) and former World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (34-3, 27 KO’s), ESPN has stepped up to the plate and will be showing the fight live at 5 p.m. ET at the Commerzbank Arena, in Frankfurt, Germany, according to ESPN.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 I can't blame HBO for not showing a Klit fight. It's the most boring shit ever. Not sure how anyone actually becomes a fan.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Basically they wont show a Klitschko fight unless Haye ever decides to man up. Not like they need HBO $$ when they already make a shitload in Germany. love seeing Cory Spinks get KOd
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Which will be never. So Glen Johnson is saying Cloud switched gloves pre-fight from the agreed upon gloves. They obviously weren't loaded (if they were Cloud should just retire ASAP). But still, that's some shady shit. http://boxingtalk.com/pag/article.php?aid=20306
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Saw that this morning, not sure if anything will come of it but still very very weird.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 not enough in the world for this
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8 Can't believe this guy is still getting his ass in the ring. Enough already. Spit out my drink when i saw that he has long term plans to be in a position to fight the klits or haye. The fact that the wbc approves that is all you need to know about the alphabet organizations.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Maidana is fighting Chop Chop Corley next, a joke fight but other guys are busy and its a chance for his native fans to see him. HBO wants Devon-Bradley, Khan has Ramadan, etc. I like Maidana over Khan for sure, Bradley and Alexander are different but with his power hes always in the fight. Another fight with Ortiz would also be good but not sure how much Golden Boy would want to put Ortiz in with Maidana again.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 If Khan gets caught, it's game over. Khan's speed (both hand and foot) will be a lot to overcome for Maidana. No way GBP throws Ortiz in against anyone with legit punching power. They've got to build his image back after quitting like a bitch.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Chris Arreola on FNF tonight, weighed in at 256 lbs, wonder if he will ever seriously train for a fight
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8 He talks like he will but never does. Once he starts to care about training i'll care about watching his fights.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8 Agree. Haven't watched it yet, and may not. I am ready for the Super 6 to get started back up personally. Boxing is really pissing me off right now. Alexander/Bradley, Pac/May, Williams/Martinez.......why are we not watching these fights go down. I really want to see a Williams/Martinez rematch.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Bad Chad fighting tonight, hope its a decent fight, think Chad wins a UD around 9-3
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Darnell Wilson Vs. Emmanuel Nwodo KO I miss Darnell "ding" Wilson. He used to post on one of my boxing forums, really nice guy.
Re: Boxing Thread- Boxing ain't dead, future on display- Devon wins & Bad Chad 8/14 Pascal is an enigma. He's been around for years, was one of the more interesting prospects but never really took another step. Very interesting fight tonight. Bradley is going to wipe the floor with Alexander. Kotelnik won that fight. Lopez/Rafa on the 18th is jizz worthy.
