Khan getting schooled in sparring- for real?

You are right; he looks **** there. Getting tagged at will, WTF are with all the right hand leads thinking he's Roy Jones?

He looks like the Khan that fought Prescott he's so overly ambitious with his work.

At best its Oscar winning acting, at worst its terrible preperation for a big fight.

 

whos the sparring partner?he looks pretty decent

 

I saw some footage last night on sky sports news and he was sparring and he got hit two three times as he came in. He was left with a lil mouse under his eye.

A lot of people say they saw real improvement against Barrera i put myself through that debacle again the other day and i counted numerous times he falls short and was throwing shots for no reason and looking dodgy under pressure from a guy with claret all over his boat race. I still feel Khan has amateur tendencies and a style that has evolved from the amateur ranks and against a wise experienced guy like Kotelnik i think he's in for trouble.

 

Nice first post.

Makes me lean closer to Kotelnik now - think the occasion will get to Khan.

 

I agree and i was going for Kotelnik late but i'm starting to think this could be prescott part two and Khan at mid range throwing shots and getting caught flush and legs going and getting finished within 3.

I just don't see Kotelnik losing his strap i felt this since the fight was made.

 

he could do with one of those headguards in the fight.

 

I have since it was announced thought the fight was 50-50, now I have to go with Kotelnik at 60-40.

Khan cannot get caught by him when coming in. Khan cannot take Kotelnik out, that I am sure about, so imagine Kotelnik hitting him at will in the later stages of the fight?

 

Its certainly a strange piece for Warren to put on his website...even stranger thing, the film appears to have been cut a spliced

 

I can't see this vid however i'm getting a bit nervous now. I want Khan to win, not because I'm his biggest fan, just because I'd like to see the lad do well for himself after the amount of abuse he's recieved recently despite taking on a very hard task in Kotelnik. Plus he's British (this rule stands for all bar Joe )

 

Another thing I found bizarre is Freddie Roach claiming the bodyattack with be Khan's key weapon?

Is that really a wise idea :?

 

Khans mind is elsewhere,not on the job at hand.In recent interviews he is talking about how he wants to fight Hatton in Vegas:-(

 

TFFP are the odds still 5-1 for Kotelnik to win by knockout?

I want Khan to win, but those odds cannot be passed up.

 

Hmm...it looks poor, but on the flip side, how good is Kotelnik? The Maidana result is impressive, but not a huge amount before that....

Personally I think its a fight with 2 very average LWW for a meaningless World Title....definite 50-50 fight, and in my view whomever wins wont shake up the boxing world - they will lose the strap 1-2 fights later....

If they went in with Floyd, Pac, Juan Diaz, JMM, Cotto or heaven forbid even Hatton, they would be beaten convincingly in my view.

 

first of all its surprising they would release a sparring session of this length

secondly, i hate it when people put too much emphasize of sparring and other pre fight stuff, countless fighters over the years have looked terrible in sparring and vice versa and then looked the total opposite in the fight, the whole point of sparring is to rehearse and iron out mistakes

anyone who changes their pick because of that video is a fool
