Khan v Kotelnik - Round by Round Thread

last round for kotelnik but easy win for khan, 116-112. Congrats, fully deserved win presuming he gets it.

 

TWELFTH AND FINAL ROUND.

Kotelnik looks determined, like a caged and starved animal. Khan dancing around with several body lengths between them, not looking his usual spritely self though. Kotelnik swinging for the fences. Khan forgetting to keep his hands up, getting lucky with some misses as he retreats. Khan's punches no longer have squat on them...not keeping Kotelnik away for a moment. Kotelnik's attacks is consistent but largely ineffective - he falls in after throwing a few power punches. He seems to be mistakenly under the impression that his best chance is in Amir's chest. He needs a little more distance than that to fully extend his power shots. Throws lots of shots at close range that bounce of Amir's back and land with more forearm than leather on Khan's head. Kotelnik goes to work on his body as the bell sounds.

Kotelnik round but too little too late.

117-111 Khan

edit: tabulation error. This makes it 116-112 Khan.

 

He didn't eat any big punches

 

80 punches landed on him in 12 rounds, never looked hurt? what more could you ask for with a dude with a **** chin?

 

Freddies a LEGEND. Well done Amir. Superb performance. Worst world champion. Amir was right about that anyway

 

Khan won like 8-4 or 9-3 i stopped scoring on my paper after round 8

kotelnik's style looked a good one for amir.

Excellent performance by Khan and a great career comeback even if he did'nt deserve the title shot.
