I've changed my mind, I think Khan gets KO'd on Saturday

ahaha idiots put their money on Kotelnik

I got Khan by UD though.

Khan's got some good skills but i think his chin is bad he was shaken to his boots by a Prescott jab and was nearly knocked out by feather fisted Limmond who had 8ko's in 34 fights.

I think khan wins this with a comfortable UD even if he does have a weak chin. khan might have a weak chin but I dont' think the prescott fight proved it. the only thing it proved is that khan had lack luster defense and bad judgement because when he got back up from the first kd, he started to brawl with prescott instead of moving and recovering. khan might get caught again but it would have to be against some like Holt or Pacquiao. Otherwise I don't see anyone landing a flush shot on him any time soon by the looks of his picture perfect performance agaisnt Barrera(even if Barrera is way past it).

Small is a legend lol.

A decent bet for this fight is Khan to get KD but win the fight - 6-1.

I dont think we should read too much into Khans recent sparring session . The guy he was sparring was a light middleweight ,taller than Khan ,had a longer reach and most likely hits harder than him or Kotelnik . Plus when he was catching Khan with his jab i dont think some of them would actually of hit him as some were just grazing off his protruding headgear . Khan is taller than Kotelnik and Kotelnik wont hit him with his jab if he keeps the distance he did in the sparring session . Also i dont think he would want to reveal so much of the gameplan he is going to use in the fight in an open sparring session.

Same here. If Khan wins we have another world champ, so it'll be great. Some people actually use that tactic as a win-win. Bet on the opposite side your supporting to win, If they win, your quids in, If they lose, hell your team just won, f.uck money :)QUOTE] That's my tactic in a 50/50 fight where i can't decide a winner. Win-win situation. I'm starting to feel this way too... I think I just have some subconscious tendency to go against the grain. I didn't like Khan when he was the darling of British boxing, but now everyone seems to hate him I find myself rooting for the lad I'm in the same boat. I'm not a fan of his, but because everybody seems to be on the hatewagon, i'm supporting him in a quest for a World Title.

After watching the sparring videos etc, and going over it in my head. First off I thought Khan would easy UD Kotelnik, But now when I actually LOOK into the points, It seems stupid how I thought of this. Khan has never fought at Light-Welterweight at this level, hell he's never fought at this level. Kotelnik has a low KO %, but I think his power is greatly underrated on here, and he has plenty enough power to KO/TKO Khan, being that he's in a bigger weight division, and Khan has been knocked down and put on queer street by featherweights. I think some people, although talked alot about on here, overrate his chin. Seriously, it's disgustingly terrible, one of the worst I have ever seen, a shot Barrera caught him, Kotelnik will easily. Khan lacks serious power, especially since Roach is making him work on speed, Kotelnik has a GREAT chin, and a good defence, he will walk down Khans shots and catch him. After watching a recent sparring vid, Khan was caught way way too often, his defence has never been great, Don't let your heart cloud your judgement folks. The Barrera performance, whilst good, was not great. Barrera was well shot, at a stupid weight for him, and EVERY time Khan even gout touched by Barreras glove, he would fling his arms in the air Pacman style to show he wasn't hurt, yea Khan, you wern't supposed to be ****ing hurt with that light jab. I just posted this to try and help some of you guys out, THIS IS NOT A HATE THREAD, I'm a Khan fan, the guys skills/speed are immense, But after years of watching boxing, toooooo many times has my heart clouded my judgement. Also Williamhill.com are offering 6/1 for a Kotelnik KO/TKO/DQ. Place your bets folks. Nobody cares what you think anyway

I think Khan's speed will cause Kotelnik problems and i can see Khan winning a wide UD but just one shot from Kotelnik can end it, I think Khan has an utterly awful chin.

Also Williamhill.com are offering 6/1 for a Kotelnik KO/TKO/DQ. Place your bets folks. Currently PaddyPower are top with 4/1 (The bolded numbers are the best odds). Guys, these odds are SHORTENING FAST. The best odds you can get now are 7/2 on a Kotelnik KO/TKO/DQ with Bet365. So now £10 wins you £35. But when I bet when I first made this thread, £10 will win me £60, for EXACTLY the same bet.

I'm going to go and put £10 on. I don't really want to put anything more because I'm not a gambler, and don't exactly need the money. But if Khan fights like an idiot and gets ko'd, £45 in my pocket will make me feel a bit better. Plus if Khan wins, losing £10 isn't going to kill me. Same here.

I can't bet against Khan. I feel as if I'm cheating lol. 7/2 on a Kotelnik KO, are very good odds though. Might put £5 down and get £22 back. So if Khan wins I'm happy, if Khan loses, I have got the ppv for free. Better odds at paddy power. And I feel the same, although my money is on the line, I WANT Khan to win, I'll be cheering Khan.

The second time you watch that recent sparring session Khan actually does a lot better than you think, even though he got caught a few times he still wins the round clearly. Also the dude he's sparring is probably welter or maybe middleweight. Kotelnik is a very good boxer but he doesn't throw a lot of punches, he waits to counter with a limited variety of punches. If Khan manages to figure out Kotelniks style early, he could pull off the UD or maybe even a late stoppage.
