Kotelnik vs. Alexander
Kotelnik's last fight before announcing his retirement was against undefeated IBF and WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander. The fight was fought at an extremely fast pace, with a total of 1876 punches being thrown by both fighters. Alexander in fact had thrown nearly 650 jabs, however only landing 64, compared to Kotelnik who threw 397 but landed 116. Alexander would win a very controversial decision, receiving a 116-112 victory from all three judges. Most observers felt Kotelnik did enough to win by landing the more effective punches also utilising a very effective jab. HBO's Harold Ledderman scored the bout 117-111 for Alexander which was looked at as a terrible scorecard.[1]
