    Who you got ESB? I think this would be an entertaining fight...Favor Kotelnik here but I think Lucas might have the stones and will to pull it off. Whatcha think?

    Kotelnik is a sly fox.

    I think he takes a tight decision.

    Kotelnik is very smart and he learned to improve his workrate immensely since the khan fight, kotelnik UD

    That describes him perfectly, lol.

    Anyway i think Mathysse would do a better job of cutting the ring and imposing himself than people are giving him credit for.

    This fight has to be in consideration for a BAD fight at some point this year.

    I like Kotelnik by close UD but it could go either way.

    True... Kotelnik has a fantastic chin though, he stood up to Maidana's best shots for 12 rounds. And he seems to cope well under pressure.

    Mathysse has a really good trainer. My trainer of the year for 2010.

    Kotelnik is a very good fighter. He's learned to deal with people like Maidana and Alexander, so I'm sure he'll do the same with Mathysse. Would be a great fight, though.

    What's the deal Kotelnik now, anyway? I heard he's promised to never go back to the States after his robbery against Alexander. I feel sorry for him, because I believe he'd beat most LWW out there.

    Kotelnik doesn't struggle with people who cut off the ring and impose themselves on him. It's the movers and people with high workrate he seems to dislike.

    I wouldnt expect Andriy to hit the deck at any point in time here... Both guys deserve this match though, or atleast another boxing after dark spot considering the network robbed them both blind last time out.
