    I'd say the sparring partner one is more likely. Why bottle a fight and make a date to fight again a month later?

    no probs

    could turn out to be a blessing in disguise because with the change of date it might now be televised across the pond

    Khans beginning to take Kotilnik for granted . Kotilnik will go the distance but can Khan do a 12 rounder against a tough eastern euro, especially if Khan thinks Kotilnik needs more time to prepare, he`s overlookin him.

    How do you know hes taking him for granted, hes training hard man. After getting knocked spark out and looking so **** he aint taking nothing for granted. Roach said it wont be easy but he feels Khan will knock him out (don't know how likely that is).

    Khan believes Kotilniks injury does not warrant a 2week delay, so he thinks Kotilnik is runnin scared and that he needs more time to prepare after seein how big he has become under Roach. Kotilnik is playing mind games i think. Khan will need to train hard, this will be his tuffest fight yet.

    I believe Khan aint crazy enough to think this guy is easier. If that was the case he'll just run in there like he did against Prescott, it wont happen. It could be a mind game, but I think whatever Kotelnik does before the fight won't work, Khan will win this one. I can't judge how hard this fight will be, Kotelnik is a good boxer, I wonder what he will do all night, Khan will be firing jabs making Kotelnik chase him, he seems to be a slow paced boxer who likes to be in the middle of the ring.

    Everythings in Khans favour, as long as his performance is as good as the show he put in on fighting Barrera, he is beginning to look a right handful. We could certainly do with some World Champs at the moment.

    His problem is he is alway one half decent punch away from defeat

    As for that video,Khan is deluded and Roach talking **** about other fighters,whats new?

    thanks for posting this link,
    i am really beginning to warm to khan he appears to be taking the game seriously and whenever he is with freddie he doesnt appear to have his family(who appear to have become self proclaimed boxing experts overnight) around after the prescott defeat i would have given big odds on hime going into a title fight up a divison withing 18months but now i make him a cast iron certainty

    Lets hope Kotelnik doesn't blame the tooth injury if he loses....

    Larry Merchant: So Andreas what happened tonight? What went wrong?

    Kotelnik: My tooth was broken.

    Larry Merchant: Tooth was broken? What do you mean?

    Kotelnik: Dental
