Andriy Kotelnik-Amir Khan: The Pre-Fight Report Card

[hiphoprap2007]

Come on Khan!

I think Khan can KO Kotelnik in rounds 6 or 7. His speed will be way too much for Kotelnik and Khans deefence has improved a lot under Roach.

Khan KO Round 7.

khan is way better than kotelnik in any aspect. and khan is getting better with roach. i expect khan will win by knockout in round 9. roach has loaded khan with weapons never seen before.

no he is not, Khan is better in speed, combos, he also has a reach and hieght advantage, but when Khan attacks he is open and goes a little crazy, we ant seen him in with single decent boxer yet, i think we can rule out Barrera here due to the valley sized cut on his skull, but Khans attacks are very effective but will a decent fighter use this to his advantge, Kotelnik is better in defence, way better, he is a better counter puncher and his chin is infinetly better than Khans, he is also more paitient and level headed, probably also more accurate although he dose not throw a ton of punches, footwork maybe Khan just edges it in terms of speed but Kotelniks is very goood aswel he is good and moving out of the way when under attack, ppl think speed will killl Kotelnik but Witter is a better boxer than Khan and prety faster himself and this did not bother Kotelnik all that much. Id say Kotelnik also has the greater all round boxing brain.

wait, why isn't this on hbo. they have diaz vs malinaggi on hbo and not this fight!? where can u see this fight anyways.

Tonight you will see a tactic used by Nazeem Richardson/ Bernard Hopkins against Kelly Pavlik.
Khan will jump in and throw a combo and jump out again and he will do it from different angles.
Kotelnik will be standing there with his gloves high up and will be waiting for an opening and that Khan will be punching himself out and get tired in the later rounds.
It's more about; will Khan have the stamina to continue in this way for 12 RD's and will Kotelnik allow him to use this tactic or will he get frustrated and open himself to be tagged by Khan?

Hopefully this will be on HBO tomorrow. Iv'e seen a handful of Khan fights and Iv'e seen Kotelnik vs Maidana. Tough call. I'll pick Khan in this one....

Is lightweight really deeper than jr welterweight? I see what they are saying as far as bigger names that probably posses more power than the bigger names at jr welter, but I wouldn't say it is a deeper division.

Not only that but Norris was technically superior to Kahn in every category, maybe even power as well. He could do everything and when he used his wits, his chin was never a factor because his opponent had a hard time even getting to it. See Norris/Brown II for an example.

Terry Norris was an excellent offensive fighter. If he had a better chin he'd be a hall of famer for sure.

Terry Norris is IN the HOF...first ballot.
