1) Freddy Roach
2) All under rating khans power
3) Kotelniks a good euro boxer who's a boxer who sticks to fundamentals, khan has never had problems with boxers to date.
4) Khan HAS fought at LWW, albeit a while back
5) Khans big even for LWW, so its not like he will be dwarfed.
6) Willie limond (one of the bums who gave khan trouble) is now the WBU light weight champ
7) Its in manchester with Frank Warren
8) Khan has a higher output than kotelnik
9) Kotelnik throws jabs straights pretty much all the time, and has shorter reach than khan
10) Khan was rediculously quick for a light weight, at LWW he will be much quicker than any of kotelniks opponents, kotelnik wont be used to being hit so much and will get frustrated
The second time you watch that recent sparring session Khan actually does a lot better than you think, even though he got caught a few times he still wins the round clearly. Also the dude he's sparring is probably welter or maybe middleweight.
Kotelnik is a very good boxer but he doesn't throw a lot of punches, he waits to counter with a limited variety of punches. If Khan manages to figure out Kotelniks style early, he could pull off the UD or maybe even a late stoppage.
