Kotelnik has a tight guard so Khan will have to use a variety of punches ...this fight will tell us alot about Khan !
Yeah biggest test by far for Khan, but I still believe his biggest tests will against big punchers, saying that Kotelnik dealt with Rees pretty severly!!
Nedal Hussein had him on ***** street with a shot to the head. I was surprised the ref didnt step in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPVr3qvvsAg
Well as I said this next Khan fight should answer a few more questions about him. For the MAB fight I think the plan was to keep on the move, and stay at range, I think they wanted to take MAB into the later part of the fight when he tires a bit to close the range and plant his feet a bit more and unload, but we never got to that stage. Kotelnik is a good boxer and Khan will have to mix it up with his punches.
people, stop comparing khan to pacmac will ya,he nowt like him,style defence,chin,movement,abssulutly nothing. khan is a good boxer but will get found out again,he has speed,not bad power at domestic level,but world level its a different story,we can't judge him on the mab fight cos it should of been stopped in the 1st. he cannot run around the ring 4 12 rounds at world level,he is no mayweather who can run round the ring but fight on the inside without worrying about being sparked by the wind off a punch. darni,weight will not help his chin,never,i have said this before,some boxers have good chins,some have grannit chins,some have glass jaws,its a proven fact get over it mate,he's will never ever improve with weight,its that bad mate:good
Well we will find out soon enough if his chin holds up a bit better at 140 and beyond, its only a matter of time. :good
Khan's an excellent "boxer", but not a great "fighter". He's greatly talented, quick as f*ck, good footwork, balance and good boxing brain, but IS CHINNY! Therefore, I can see him winning a world title, but not holding on to it for very long.
I can't rate his skills accurately yet but they appear good. The fact that he ducked all the domestic and European lightweights and got sparked in 20 seconds by the only guy he's fought who he didn't have obvious physical advantages over, makes it a little hard to judge properly. damn, sorry, being racist again. I need help.
Making the big assumption that Khan wins the belt, anyone see him fighting Bradley next, how'd you think that would go?
