Fightnews.com just broke news about Kotelnik signing a 3 yr deal with don king and accepting a fight in st louis to challenge WBC and IBF champion devon alexander. I think this is a decent fight, and will give us a good barometer between amir kahn and devon. Andriy has a solid beard and very good fundamental boxing skills, but no punch to worry devon with. I'd like to see devon and bradley get it on after these fights in the winter or at the very latest spring of 2011.
3 fight deal* Kotelnik made the biggest mistake of his life signing with Don King. Kotelnik said Don promised a rematch with Khan if he wins the Devon fight atsch Seriously, Kotelnik is a sure loser. Whats the chance of him winning? A moving up in weight Khan dominated Kotelnik on just straight 1,2's and jabbing all night. He's just being fed to Devon. It's obvious.
I seen the first 7 rounds of Khan-Kotelnik and stopped watching because they looked the same, Khan throwing a ton of shots while Kotelnik had his guard up. I'll be interested to see how Alexander performs.
