I don't think i have spoken to anybody who is that confident, and i can't split the two. Khan is the superior puncher, but Kotelnik has never been down. Kotelnik is a weak puncher with a poor KO ratio but Khan could be knocked down by the wind. Khan has better boxing skills and is bigger, those are the only things that sway it for Amir, but that still doesn't make it a one horse race.

I'm pretty sure Khan will win an easy UD.
It's funny how over time, Kotelinik's hype has grown. When this fight was originally announced, nobody gave Kotelinik a chance(except for Tunney and his goons but thats only because Kotelnik is East Euro).
This fight getting delayed only further hyped Kotelinik for some reason. I think he is a technically sound fighter but Khan has improved his technique as well to compliment his physical gifts.

Ive never seen Kotelink fight but from what ive seen his style is made to order for Khan's long range game.
Kotelnik looks like one of those fighters that needs to be closer to you land his shots and Khan has adapted his game since Roach took over, he does not commit to his punches anymore and he keeps everything long.
I dont think any1 can be sure...khan is still young and only a prospect, we know what he CAN do, but we will have to wait and see...look at wht happened victor ortiz....you just never know....
I hope he wins tho!
Mate don't get me wrong, look back through every Khan post and i have said that exact thing about him, that he has fought blown up feathers, but you have to admit, he has some power.
is power is speed, which generates a moderate amount of power but there is no WAY that he can stop kotelnik
i do think he will dominate the early goings and kotelnik will get him in the later rounds in my opinion
I think Khan was terrible when fighting Prescott. but fighters change... and Kotelnik doesn't have power to knock these boxers out.
I think Kotelnik could win by UD
Im 90% sure Khan will be stopped/KO'ed in the latter rounds. I just don't see Khan stopping him and i can't see Khan avoiding Kotelnik for 12 rounds. (I really could be wrong though lol)
Very interesting fight though.
It's a very difficult fight to be 100% on, so basically the answer is no. Anyone that says Khan is 100% going to win hasn't seen his chin, and anyone that says Kotelnik 100% is blinded by their hate for Khan.
I'm fairly confident Khan will win, but i'm well aware a few clean shots could end it if moving up in weight hasn't helped his chin.
Whoa.. No need for intelligent thoughtful responses like this.. We're on NSB!

Ive got Kotelnik, you cant be 100% though in boxing, anythig can happen, I think he has the superior boxing brain, experience, better defence and adequte footwork and effecient abilty to counter Khan and break him down ending the fight in the last three, percentage wise i will say im 80% sure Khan is over hyped overrated big headed china chined delusional cash cow.
dude
khans power is nothing, his knock rate is based on beating fighters who were blown up featherweights!!!!!!!!!!!!
khan has advantage in speed mainly hand and foot speed but kotelnik has fought a lot of different guys who possess quick flurries and quick feet
witter and gavin rees both possessed quick hands - khan is alot quicker but speed wont win this fight
kotelnik only needs to get to khan once and he will have him all over the place, i think khan has improved alot is defense is a lot better and is attacks are better controlled and more precised but there is no way he cant be hit over 12 rounds and if he goes to the body he leaves himself open also i doubt is ablity to go 12 hard rounds kotelnik has proved that he can
i think kotelnik stops him late on possibley after the ninth round but khan will win most of the rounds due to is constant flurries
also khan against gomez showed that when he is hit to the body he cant take them so i predict body shot hit and TKO to the chin baby
