Kotelniks jab and defense

[Ryn0]

Have you seen those fights? Kotelnik gets the best of M'Baye and is atleast even with Witter and gets the short end of the stick.

The only fight he deserves to have a Loss in was the Khan fight and even then Khan just played a stick and move game.

Let's not forget Pirog destroyed this guy, and many think he got a gift decision over Maidana. He's 32 years old also. I don't get the hype. This guy had his chance, and lost to M'baye, and Witter. His day is over.

I thought he won, but seriously.... Nothing to fret over. He's not world class.

He's an elite 140lber who would give any of them trouble.

Apparently not Khan.

Anyone who's seen Kotelnik fight knows that's his style. Hide in the shell, throw out the jab, sometimes he doubles up. A couple overhand rights, and back in the shell.
He didn't beat Maidana, the judges just scored it that way. It was a "home" victory, for Kotelnik in exactly the same way Alexander's was a "home" victory.

On neutral territory, Maidana beats Kotelnik, and Kotelnik beats Alexander.

Watch his fight vs Rees. One of the most entertaining fights in the last few years and Kotelnik throws 4-5 punch combo's the entire fight.

Hold on here TS, Kotelnik is nothing special. He's a good european fighter. That's it. His jab and defense were useless against world class Amir Khan. Amir Khan has better defense and jab than Kotelbitch. Kotelnik is an OK fighter who exposed a young green fighter. Devon is still good but needs to learn and work a lot to get to the next level. Devon is partly a hype job coz people expected too much from him. I say partly coz i definitely believe he has the talent to be a top 10 P4P one day. He just need to correct things and work a lot.

If you want to be like that then :

Kotelnik = World Class

Ortiz, Alexander = Ameribums.


Dzinziruk still has perhaps the best jab imo.

Peterson vs Kotelnik is a logical undercard fight IMO.

Kotelnik deserves it for his fight with Alex and Peterson deserves it for his fight with Bradley. Peterson showed as much toughness as you can in that fight. He never backed down.
