    For some reason I think Khan's going to stroll this.

    I think he's matured a lot since his KO, and Roach has obviously got the perfect fight plan, so with what's at stake I can't see Khan doing anything other than executing it flawlessly. He's going to be too quick and sharp for Kotelnik.

    I'm not a Khan fan so it wouldn't bother me if he lost. But I can't see it happening.

        have heard what could be idle talk that kotelnik makes more under the table loosing than winning.
        whether that mean options of fights down the road or money???

          i think khan schools kotelnik early then falls apart in mid rounds only to
          have kotelnik some how walk into KO right in later round.

            This is a very tough call mainly because since Prescott we have seen very little of Khan, less than 6 rounds in fact. I dont doubt that Khan will have improved quite a bit since teaming up with Roach, but having seen a few of Kotelniks fights I am quite impressed by him and he certainly isnt gonna roll over.

            If Khan's power cant trouble Kotelnik then he could be in a bit of trouble as I dont think his speed is going to be enough on its own. His chin still has massive question marks about it, but I also think his stamina isnt too great either. Much was made about his ability to go 12 with St.Clair but so what? Kotelnik will keep going for the whole twelve.

            Has Khan learnt enough in his time with roach to box smart?
            Will his chin hold up when, and he will at some point, get hit?
            Will his stamina keep him going for 12 rounds?

            So many questions need answering, dammit!

            Much as I will be rooting for khan, I am going to go with my head and say Kotelnik by either close but unanimous decision or late stoppage.

              if a cut old and past prime barrera clipped khan twice im more than sure kotelnik will be able to, unless khan has improved some more...

                I'm uncertain as to which way this will go. Kotelnik will obviously always have a punchers chance, however i see khan boxing cautiously and winning a UD. New Khan interview if anyone is interested

                  This is the best breakdown I have seen of the fight. No bull****, just the truth.

                    you think he needs a punchers chance ? i dont even think he needs all that hard a punch to knock out khan but thats besides the point because Kotelnik is more than comfortable with going all the way, Kotelnik is the better boxer and will expose Khan again, if Khan dose win which i doubt he will ill start to give him some credit, but only some, give kotelnik the credit he has earnt.

                      I don't mean he is a puncher, it was more in reference to the chin he needs to hit. I think Khan has the better skills and his speed far superior in this match up.
