Khan was a terrible combination of style & attributes for Kotelnik. Styles make fights. Saying that Kotelnik was a solid world class fighter and that he got whitewashed by Khan and that Khan is, while himself wprldclass, not next level elite isn't necessarily a self-contradictory chain of statements.
I had it 120-109 Kotelnik I think. Horrible decision. What is even worst is that it is not even remembered as a robbery for everyone as Lederman and Rafael had absolutely pathetic scorecards of 116-112 Alexander.
