    he's near to 2-1, to me that seems a good price considering khan's is like 4 times lower. The roach factor is the only thing that worries me but he cant of cured khans chin. I feel khan is unproven against this calibre of opponent and at somepoint kotelnik will land and as previous khan fights show you dont need that much power to floor him. I think theres some cash to be made here, anybody sharing this thought?

    Khan is going to show Kotelnik a new meaning to speed.

    Khan via TKO inside 7, a 140 Khan is a beast

    I was picking Khan, still give him an edge, but just watch one of Kotelnik's fights, so not so sure now. Still give Khan an edge though.

    Did you see Kotelnik fight vs Maidana. I think Maidana won that fight.

    I'd take the over more than anything else. However I think Kotelnik can beat Khan, but I'm not sure he can KO him. I think 2-1 is probably around a break even bet.

    Untested at 140. Khan is my favourite but i only see it 55% to 45%. Enough to maybe take a punt on kotelnik i think. If khan stay outside and really moves behind a lightning jab he'll get the decision. But if he dives in and leaves himself open for a big hook...i think we all know what will happen

    I thought Kotelnik won the fight, but Miadana is a very tough fighter, very difficult fight. This is Khan's biggest test, by far.

    If this fight was to be on neutral ground with neutral officials I'd be tempted to bet on Kotelnik but not if it's in the UK. The Barrera fight should have been (and was as far as I'm concerned) a no-contest. He should have been counted out against Limmond. That South American guy almost had to knock him out cold to beat him and even then the ref counted all the way to 10 despite Khan being almost unconscious.

    I'm going bet on >9.5. Betting on weak puncher such as Kotelnik fighting in England vs. local superstar is bad idea. Even if Kotelnik will Ko Amir it's going to be only in late rounds.

    He's passing up a fight with his mandtory Dmitriy Salita to face an inexperanced boxer from a smaller weight in Amir Khan. He might win but if I was a betting man I would put my money on Khan on this one.

    When fights are tough to decide, I always take the more talented fighter... which is Khan. The x-factor is Khan's chin, as that's the case in every Khan fight. If Khan is able to avoid getting that chin dented, I'm sure he will outpoint Kotelnik.
