Khan vs. Kotelnik on 6/27 - Amir Moving Up To 140

[dumber79]

not bothered what you nuthuggers say and call me a hater, he's moved to 140 imo becasue anyone else who they put him in with at 135 i.e top 10 fighhter will knock him out simply. katsidis, diaz, prescott, valero...all of them will floor him, so move him up to 140lbs...what next hatton or pacman or JMM at 140lb...doubt it


it's only a matter of time team khan

[Davros?]

If he wins Khan should fight Witter that would be a good fight I think Witter has the power to Knock Khan out but Khan also has the skills to beat Witter, I would be very nervous about moving Khan up a division his punch resistance is utterly awful.

[The Hammer]

Kotelnik was robbed twice in the UK already: against Witter, and in the draw with M'Baye which should have been a win.

So he needs to stop Khan, like he stopped Rees! Because of his Kotelnik's accuracy and Khan's delicate chin, I'm confident he will.

War Kotelnik!

[Southpaw Stinger]

Yo Froch, STFU about Calzaghe!

The truth!

[QUISQUEYA]

The problem for Khan is that EVERYBODY else at 140 is offensive. ex-Malignaggi.

Bradley, Hatton, Pac, Urango (a WW now?), Ortiz, Campbell, etc. Can he take shots from those guys?

Surprised he's moving up. But he's a tall kid.

[Abstraction]

Very risky.

Surprised a British Fighter is going for a title shot SO quick lol!

[leppard365]

Can say what you want about Khan, but he's an exciting and erratic fighter who is being given proven fighters. Finally stepping up. Can't wait.

[loui_ludwig]

I was hoping Pac face Kotelnik after Hattton.

[hookoutofhell]

im surprised - iv been thinking that khan would take on anthony mezzache for the LW euro title. mezzache had just defeated thaxton and would have been a good barometer for comparing khans power, mezzache himself is tough, skilled holds a euro title but has a very low KO percentage. he was a perfect opponent for khan.

as for khan being stronger and more sturdy at the weight we will see, i think the guy is chinny plain and simple. for some fighters making weight kills them and leaves them weakened ala david haye or cotto, now khan as far as i know didn't have too many problems making LW. which leads me to believe hes just plain old chinny.

he can do what he wants strengthen his legs, improve his neck muscles whatever but he ot decked by fighters like limond and gomez blown up LW's if someone who can hit tags him its gonna be prescott all over again.
