HAHA i knew it!! very smart move by team Khan, Khan's is shockingly to fast for kotelnick and boxes his ears and eyes of and stops him down the stretch. Look forward to it.

Bradley awaits

Kotelnik is a good fighter and a good step up for Khan. But what happened to Ortiz fighting Kotelnik?

[Silencers]

Damn, they took Kotelnik away from Ortiz. Interesting fight, Kotelnik isn't a big puncher, Khan has a chance in this one.

wtf?! how can kotenlik duck salita and then ortiz, and then khan gets a shot. such bs. khan will out box kotenlik easy, way to quick for him, kotenlik is so slow.

[The Hammer]

Great news!

Andreas Kotelnik would be no match for Victor Ortiz (nor would anyone else at 140 including Hatton) but he'll KO Amir Khan!

I can hardly wait for this fight!

Kotelnik never ducked the mediocre Salita, who would be an easy win under fair circumstances.

Fighting Ortiz in LA would not have been a wise career move though. He would have been KOed and his career would never be the same again.

good move. I really believe he wasnt comfortable at lightweight.
