I got Khan, but I'm not overconfident about it. Just silently confident, but I'm fully prepared for disappointment. Regardless, we're going to get an exciting fight - we need this.
I just hope someone's capping it in HD this time, because so far I haven't seen 720p versions of the Barrera, Fagan and Prescott fights. Very stupid. Get your fucking priorities right!
Khan has the stamina to throw flurrys and pepper the dude from the outside with quick punches while he's tucked up in his shell ALL night! But a guy with Kotelniks high gaurd defence is used to blocking the vast majority of shots coming his way, Khan is among the most accurate and fast punchers in the sport - he will find the openings and he will land flush! Also amidst the combos and movement look for Khan to be whipping in the body shots that will help slow the guy down and maybey lower that gaurd, im going with a UD win but to tell the truth despite Kotelniks chin and D i wouldnt be shocked with a late-ish stoppage win
I think Khan is going to win, Kotelnik is a solid boxer but i think under Freedie Roach Khan is too dynamic for Kotelnik's robot style.
If Khan sticks and moves and can keep his stamina he will win.
I personally want Kotelnic to beat khan, i didn't like the Barrera fight, it left a bad taste in my mouth.
Tonight you will see a tactic used by Nazeem Richardson/ Bernard Hopkins against Kelly Pavlik.
Khan will jump in and throw a combo and jump out again and he will do it from different angles.
Kotelnik will be standing there with his gloves high up and will be waiting for an opening and that Khan will be punching himself out and get tired in the later rounds.
It's more about; will Khan have the stamina to continue in this way for 12 RD's and will Kotelnik allow him to use this tactic or will he get frustrated and open himself to be tagged by Khan?
Khan ill win and theres every chance he will make it look easy, he has ONE flaw - chin, and he has now adopted a better defence and more movement which helps him keep it safe, the move up in weight might help improve it too plus Kotelnik isnt a big puncher like a Prescott. Khan to win and i'll give 2:1 odds, also i cant wait for the Hall vs Small fight!!! Hall is gonna go far i think, hope to hell he smashes Small to bits i cant stand that fukker! I'll take bets on that too i got Hall, straight up bets no odds
I've picked khan..but its not so much faith i have in him, because im still unsure of how good he is...its the amount of faith freddie has in him, tht makes me believe he will win
