Kotelnik claims he has been harshly treated in British rings in the past, including when losing his European title to Junior Witter in 2005. "The fight with Witter was a draw," he said. "I will have to be three times stronger to make sure I win(against Khan)" Kotelnik also drew with Frenchman Souleymane M'Baye in Liverpool in 2007, when victory would have handed him the WBA title. "Against M'Baye I was also in front, clearly in front," said Kotelnik. "But I don't think people have something against me in Great Britain. I am looking forward to getting a fair judgment." Kotelnik finally captured the WBA title in his third visit to Britain in 2008, when he defeated Gavin Rees in Cardiff. "I'm not an expert on Khan," Kotelnik said. "I know he is fast and that he has good reactions, but I'm also good in the ring and my boxing skills and technical skills are some of my weapons." "I am always prepared to go 12 rounds," said Kotelnik. "But if there's a chance of a knockout I will knock him out, why not? This is not table tennis."
I ****ing hope David Parris, Terry O Conner, John Foster, etc etc DO NOT referee the fight because they will jump in when Kotelnik is taking a few combo's to the gloves Hell, forget importing a foreign ring announcer and get Tony Weeks or someone here to referee.
I never seen that fight anyone see it here think i remember asking this before and got a mixed review of it
