Khan v Kotelnik - Round by Round Thread

For the Ukrainian to have a chance he'll need to find a serious second wind, entering the eighth.

Khan still looks like he could start another twelve rounder right now.

Jab, jab, jab, jab.

Khan not as agile on his feet as in early rounds but still able to keep more than adequate distance by basically shuffling backwards faster than Andreas can take a full step.

Khan finding a real weapon with the uppercut to the body under Kotelnik's elbow after having him "watch the birdie" with a few rapid-fire jabs.

Kotelnik basically following Khan around with his hands up now.

Big flurry from Kotelnik with 20 seconds left, misses every single power punch. Khan slipping well. Khan now dancing around Kotelnik in the center of the ring and landing jabs. They tie up and the bell rings.

79-73 Khan

This is officially a clinic.

 

Listen to Freddie, Amir. Don't start swinging

 

looked closer that one.

i think.

 

Khan has been watching Pernell Whitaker !

 

**** me, i love khans footwork at the end of that round

 

Amir, as long as you don't do an Oscar you should be fine.

 

Khan is boxing very well, but this Kotelnik guy is very one dimensional. People were talking about everyone underrating him...I think the opposite has happened.

 

88-83 Khan, Kotelnik taking the 9th

 

Khans been great so far still rounds to go though :yep

 

:rofl

 

Kotelniks round

 

kotelnik pushing it in that rd.

3 to go. :think

 

Khan sustaining the abdominal attack. Kotelnik looks slower than Shannon Briggs in there (hands and feet).

Khan getting sloppier now, winging arm punches as he breezes by Kotelnik in dizzying circles. Kotelnik pins Amir on the ropes with less than a minute left, good series of touches to Khan's belly before Amir shimmies out of harm's way.

Kotelnik actually landed upstairs for the first time in several rounds.

Toe-to-toe exchange with five seconds left.

I may have to give that to Kotelnik as Khan barely landed anything...more or less took a round off.

88-83 Khan
