Under 3 weeks left until Khan-Kotelnik..Predictions???

Not really the point I was trying to make. Witter is a cautious, heavy handed counter puncher- yes. Khan is a 100 MPH windmill. Against someone with a equally circumspect style Witter is going to have difficulty. As he did against Kotelnik.

Khan won't have the same difficulty because he won't be hanging around. And as for the Witter fight. Yes Witter would probably spark him out but he'd have to land first.

 

:good Good point you may be right.

 

I'll go with Khan by wide UD. He'll be too fast with too high a workrate imo. He will need to concentrate for every second though to guard his chin but I think he'll do it

 

Wide UD for Khan or a late stoppage for Kotelnik.

The way I see it Khan will jump out to an early lead, taking most of the first six rounds, jumping in and out and flurrying like a mutha.

Kotelnik realises how far behind he is and throws caution to the wind, mauling the **** of Khan from round 8 onward trying to force the stoppage.

The tiring Khan either stays out of harms way for a comprehensive points win or gets clocked and stopped.

 

**** it Kotelnik is going to win by stoppage. Trainer cannot improve a fighter that much.

 

One thing is for sure, Kotelnik cannot win a decision.

 

i smell another calzaghe/manfredo fiasco happnin, with the ref earnin a nice backhander.
kotelnik is slow, not that hard a puncher and he's robotik, still if a feather in mab can wobble khan with glancing hooks you never know....

 

Kotelnik is better than Manfredo though and I do not expect him to be stopped.

 

Lucky they paid the ref the bribe otherwise Calzaghe would have been in big trouble.


atsch

 

You love Calzaghe now, don't you Jeff?:rofl

 

manfredo still wouldve got iced, i think the only man that thought manfredo would spark calzaghe was a mr ray leonard if i remember rightly.

 

I don't think he actually believed it, he was just bigging up his Contender.

 

I want to see Khan win it but think he's in for a tough night tbh , toughest to date bar Prescott.I've read people saying Kotelnik aint a big puncher but Maidana's got more ko's than Precott and his only loss been to Kotelnik.My prediction is if Khan's fitness,trainer and defence allow him to stay away from any serious bombs he can win a decision,maybe even if the extra weight can help his chin as well.But if Kotelnik lands anything big he can hurt Khan and maybe stops him.Kotelnik stoppage or Khan decision.

 

:good Roach seems pretty confident on facebook:


Freddie Roach: Amir Khan boxed 10 rounds today preparing for his june 27 title shot and looked amazing.


Just hope the postponed fight doesn't have any negative effect on Khan's preparation!

 

I must have missed that one in the coaching manual :thumbsup
