HBO B.A.D. fights tonight - Devon Alexander vs. Andreas Kotelnik & Tavoris Cloud vs. Glen Johnson - let's score it!

The good thing is Bradley vs Alexander looks likely for January 29th, lets just hope Juan decided to stay at Lightweight.

A fucking revolting night for the sewer of sports. HBO disgusts me, and so does this sham of a sport. I'm done.

I take it Canvas is annoyed with the decisions.

They both were wider than they should have been. Both were fights with a lot of very close rounds I thought.

Surprised Kotelnik was competitive with Alexander, I expected him to get outclassed.

Alexander was beaten from post to post. It was not close. I guess beating the shit out of the other guy is open to interpretation.

Cloud would have been fortunate to get a close split decision points win. Unanimous 8 rounds to 4 is disgusting.

Alexander was SHOCKINGLY easy to hit. He's another one of these tremendous athletes who sometimes just doesn't have a clue what he's doing in the ring and it shows against an inferior athlete with some craft. He also needs a new trainer. When he goes to his corner it sounds like he's met by a guy off the street.

Bradley and Kahn annihilate him.

wow that's a bold claim sir

I should have known a King promotion in St Louis, with HBO's hopes riding on a Bradley/Alexander fight, Kotelnik wasn't going to win with outa brutal KO, even then they may have found a way to rob him like they did Martinez.

Alexander was brutal tonight.

What's the old boxing claim? The visiting fighter needs a KO to get a draw?

Unanimous dec. 8 funcking rounds to 4 ? Both fights ? Just disgusting.

I seriously think he gets the Daniel Jacobs treatment. He's too easy to hit.

Harold Ledderman needs to be put to pasture.

I thought he was pretty close on the first fight. He had it a draw. On the Alexander fight? I had it far closer.

I had the Cloud-Johnson fight 7-5. There were close rds in that fight. Johnson took the last minute of the fight off also.

Did HBO interview Mayweather ?

So much for my claim that Alexander would challenge Pacquiao D'oh.

They tried to. But Bob Papa said that he declined.

They tried to, he passed.

Apparently if you beat the other guy senseless for the entire round, that gets you 10-9 in the other guys favour in Harold's eyes.
I can't understand how he can call the Cloud fight so well and then be completely out to lunch on the other.

I had the cloud fight 115-115, and thought Glen might actually get the nod. I thought Kotelnik won 8- 4

Based on tonight? Seriously? That's a one round fight.
