Can Amir Khan Crack the Andreas Kotelnik Code?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By T.K. Stewart - Freddie Roach and one of his other stars, Amir Khan, arrived in England about 10 days ago. Back on Khan's home turf, they have continued with their rigorous preparations leading up to tomorrow night's WBA 140-pound title fight against Andreas Kotelnik at the M.E.N. Arena in Manchester, England.

It's been Roach's job to re-build Khan's confidence and ensure that what happened last September against big punching Breidis Prescott never happens again. Namely, that Khan doesn't go overboard while trying to knock someone else's block off and forget all about what is coming back at him.

Prescott swamped the young British sensation in only 54 seconds. It was such a quick demolition job that many figured Khan's career as a contender was finished before it ever really began. While there is no question that Khan has all of the offensive tools in the world – the questions are still swirling about the strength and quality of his chin.

But since the debacle against Prescott, Khan has chalked up two quick wins over Oisin ***an and Marco Antonio Barrera and now he and Roach find themselves on the verge of winning a title. Should they prove successful in that endeavor they will be on the precipice of what could be a succession of mega fights at or around 140-pounds. [details]

“The way that we're going to win the fight is by hitting and not getting hit,” explained Roach, sounding a bit like Archie Moore. “We're going to throw combinations, get in and get out. Land punches and get out of the way.”

Sounds like Roach is going for the same tactic as Nazeem Richardson had for B.Hopkins vs K. Pavlik.
It's going to be very interesting to see if Khan can stick to that fight plan.

Let's see how Khan handle his chin against one of the legit champ! Or should I say how he fortified his defense to protect his chin under Roach! Still I would root for Khan by investing much on his speed and an alleged new found weapon, lateral movement which I believe a key to his winning.
