Khan to fight kotelnik

kotelnik should be favorite for this fight, more experience fought better fighters, the belt holder and technically better then khan

can't see how anyone can have khan as the favorite

 

i kind of suspected this when khan mentioned kotelnik as the worst world champ on bunceys boxing hour....because that did seem a bit too random to be erm random.

 

Not a Khan hater and I agree he's getting too much stick but he's not exactly helping his cause. On the Buncey show calls Kotelnik the "worst champion" then when the fight is made he says everytime he's seen Kotelnik he's been impressed by him. Fans don't like bull****.

If Kotelnik is that bad then surely if Khan beat him he woud be a paper champion, yet you can bet your house he would change his tune if that happened. Kotelnik would probably go from worst champion to one of the best. Warren IS a genius. What Prospect can get knocked out in the 1st round in a fight that never should have been on ppv in the 1st place, and then STILL be on ppv! Incredible. Where is Prescott?

Never heard of this Ukrainian guy and I would've prefered a Prescott rematch or a fight with Juan Diaz.

 

I think Khan will win this on points. It's in the UK, Khan is a hugely hyped fighter on these shores and a lot of money has been spent on him - it will be tough to Kotelnik to come away with a decision, unfortunately.

Having said that, I think Khan will beat him without needing the help of a dodgy decision, there will be an insanely wide UD in his favour. Now excuse me while I cry.

 

suprised but excited,,
can someone (with more boxing/training knowledge than me) tell me, that if khan moving up and being less weight drained will actually give him more punch resistance??
i'm sure that it could,just didn't know how much difference?
or is it a wait-and-see?

 

I had a feeling he would go up to Light Welter, but i didn't think it would be for his next fight.

So Khan has skipped all the Domestic Challenges and now he's gonna skip out on trying to win a Title @135. Maybe he's showing some balls because he's going up to a seriously tough division.

I think if he hung around at Lightweight he would have had easier competition because once Juan Manuel Marquez moves up there's only really Juan Diaz and Edwin Valero left at the highest level.

Does anybody know who's gonna fight for the IBF Light Welterweight Title once Urango vacates?

 

randell baily is in line for IBF in urango vacates

you will get people on here saying it will,bigger leg,stronger neck,blar de blar,not a chance with a chin that bad,no amount of weight will improve it,and if anyone says diffrent,prove it,and don't give me bollocks about cotto,not even in the same class of chin,the boys china.:shock:

still a good fight for him,warrens pulled this one out of the hat,easiest fight out there for khan at either weight.he not a massive puncher or is that big for a lightwelter.:good

 

This news is just plane weird. :shock:

 

Can you imagine Khan vs Bailey?

 

Khan must be the only boxer ever to be critisised for moving up a weight to face a legit top 5 beltholder at the age of 22.

I have even seen ppl write that Khan is ducking Jono and Murray in facing Kotelnik !!!

 

WBA 140lbs title has a very poor history over the last couple of years, after Hatton!

 

Great fight for Khan. Kotelnik is there to be beaten but is an ok name and holds a good belt.

Khan can beat him then drop back to lightwieght to win a belt before going upto welter and proving Brit fighters can master that division too.

 

Kotelnik will stop Khan imo
