Kotelnik definitely is landing the harder shots, but Khan is just throwing so much and landing so much more
R10 Gotta give credit for Kotelnik, he gets taken apart, tired and beat up, still fights back. Big Khan round.
Khan back to business that round, he may be slowing just a bit, but he's still more active than Kotelnik...Another round for Khan, 8-2 Khan, with two rounds to go.
Another clear Khan round. I must admit I thought he'd be KOed by now. There's still time, but he's taken bigger shots than I thought him capable of thus far and I'm pleased to be wrong up until this point.
Kotelnik more active now, but Khan still outworking him. Closer round but still Khan's round I think. 9-2 Khan
R11 Now it's a brawl and Khan is risking too much, Kotelnik gets a few clean shots in. Khan still gets the round, but a hell of a 12th is coming up. Good fight!
11th round, VERY slow pace. Khan barking like Juan Diaz while he tees off on Andreas' head. Kotelnik content to fire an intermittent range finding jab when Khan dares close the gap. Khan not taking too many chances. Back to single jabs. Circling on the outside. Halfway into round, big flashy shoeshine from Khan. Not a single counter from Kotelnik. Khan gets cocky and Kotelnik nearly lands a BIG hook to the chin. Kotelnik getting anxious now, fire in his belly, clubbing shots against Khan's elbows and back as Khan dips forward and covers up. Kotelnik gets a jab in. Then fires a jab/hook over the top on Khan's temple. He's throwing from awkward angles and it's working. Khan not moving around much toward end of round. Still fast hands but not as fluid as he was. Khan is exhausted and trying not to show it. Andreas Kotelnik round 107-102 Khan
Kotelnik's round probably, you can sense his desperation...but I have to say, if Khan and his people are worried about him getting knockedout by Kotelnik then he's in a world of trouble if he's planning on staying in this division...much harder punchers, and more skilled fighters than Kotelnik...either way, good performance by Khan, I have it 8-3 going to the last
