Under 3 weeks left until Khan-Kotelnik..Predictions???

Both like to gain centre of ring Kotelnik more so then Khan...i see Khan a little jumpy like he normally is against Barerra and Prescott he fires shots off through nerves.

Kotelnik will looks to fient and keep things at range. It will be rather tense start with Khan looking to stay at range fient and then unload with fast snappy punches with Kotelnik taking them on arms and gloves and crowd cheering like he has Kotelniks number he will roll off to side and Kotelnik will move forward and throw some jabs and try catch Khan as he comes in and catch him with short counters from over and inside Khans guard.

I think Kotelnik's timing will be a little off to start and Khan will pinch rounds and things will be tense and Khan will grow in confidence and then he gets caught in round 4 maybe 5 with Kotelnik thowing short counters and catching Khan as Khan falls short with a 1'2 and Khan is wobbled and just makes it through round.

The fight turns into a great fight and goes from tense starts to both guys landing and fight swings back and forth and i think Khan will get rocked heavily late on again and that's when i see Kotelnik winning the fight either by stoppage or by UD 115-113.

I looked back at recent fights and still feel Khan makes mistakes and will need to box fight of his life and also hope Kotelnik is not at races. I think Khan knows he can't stop Kotelnik and i think he will look to be safe and try win on points.

Kotelnik will assess Khans power and having fought Witter and Maidana he will taste Khans power and then not cover up and actually counter and fact he's amatuer back ground he's used to Khans in and out style means he will adapt to Khan and punish him as fight goes on.

I see it be a tough fight for both fighters but Kotelnik just having enough to prevail in the end. Khan to start fast and look impressive early on with Kotelnik coming back in the later rounds. Potentially winning by stoppage? Similar pattern to the Froch vs. Taylor fight. Although obviously they are a different set of fighters skills wise.

 

Khan wins by close decision.

Definitely see his getting dropped once or maybe twice, dont think Kotelnik will have enough power to KO him cold.

I suspect Khan will race ahead on points in the first half of the fight but those gonna be some hairy moments in the second half.

I think this will be a great fight.

 

??????????????

Not sure on this one. Could be good fight though.

 

This fight will be a hit and run stinker. Not the typeof fight you'd watch twice.

 

Khan wins by TKO. The ref will use any and every excuse to stop the fight in Khan's favour as usual.

I'm suprised so many people think Kotelnik will win.

 

Khan by TKO

 

Have a word with yourself.

 

I'll keep it simple.

Khan wins unless he's stupid in there. He's got to be very professional, because another loss and it's A-Force time.

 

Khan is now Dr.Roach's project A, Dr is tuning the kid into the new faster, bigger Pacman type fighter. Still a long way to go for him to reach Pacman's level but then he is still young and still learning.

I get the feeling Khan will TKO Kotelnik inside 6 or 7 rounds, Khan is looking really good at 140 which I feel is his more natural weight, if not then a big UD win for Khan.

 

Kotelnik is not a light a light punching super featherweight, he is a decent hitting light welterweight champion of the world. He has mixed in decent company. Do you really see him struggling with Khan after having close fights with Maidana and Witter?

 

I definately see him struggling with Khans speed.

 

i see Kotel hurting amir bad but amir will get the decision or a stoppage!
This fight will be entertaining.

 

Kotelnik would have never come up vs a young ,very fast, hungry fighter like Khan. Khan is going to win most rounds if it goes to points, Khan's workrate and will be too high for Kotelnik.
