Thread: Tell Me The Story :: Kahn vs Kotelnik

We all know that he shouldn't have a shot at a title at 140, and that he hasn't proved Jack yet, but.......with the aim of adding something different to the board and an interesting read, i'm hoping that some boxing fans on here might fancy writing a short story.

I've been thinking about this for a good bit now, I just can't decide on how I think this will play out. I watched Kotelnik vs Maidana at the weekend to try decide what he might bring to the table.

The Brief: Write your fictional Round Ry Round as you see the fight panning out. Try keep it sensible, were just after something different to read. It's just an idea.

I see Warren through a cloud of smoke, is it cigar smoke or dry ice? I can't tell...someone is behind him, a swarthy looking youth...they're laughing as a big sack of money spills across the table.

What can it mean?

Rd 1 - Khan comes out moving fast, throws a lightning jab combined with flashy two fisted combos.. Kotelnik has a high held gaurd, looks like he's fighting in slow motion, unable to land anything. Khan wins round easy.

RD 2 - repeat.

RD 3 - repeat.

Rd 4 - repeat.

Rd 5 - repeat.

Rd 6 - at 1.37 Kotelnik seems to tap Khan somewhere above the neck. Fight over.

To be fair, Kotelnik shouldn't have a title at 140. Maidana just beat him IMO.

Anyway Khan will cruise to a wide points win. He should be active enough to keep Kotelnik in his shell for the duration.

I see khans speed and arm length advantage being enough to possibly stop kotelnik late on but also believe he`ll have to take some punishment in order to get inside and dish out his own every so often.

Roach will have him boxing clever on the night and will make sure he doesnt get drawn into trying to slug it out with kotelnik.

Round 1 Khan starts out fast looking to get Kotelnik out of there, everythings landing the jab, right rook, left hook, uppercuts, Kotelnik looks like a deer in the headlights.

10-9 Khan

Round 2 Again not much different from the 1st round, Kotelnik is too slow, too land a telling blow. Khan beating him too the punch, and anything Kotelnik attempts Khan easily blocks it with his slightly improved high guard defense.

20-18 Khan

Round 3 Kotelnik starts the round faster attempting to land to the body and he has some success, but he is swamped by Khan's extra speed and workrate. Khan stuns Kotelnik who leaves himself wide open, right at the end of the round.

30-27 Khan

Round 4 Khan is really getting on top now and Kotelnik is starting to show, the affect's of all the punishment. Khan pot shotting Kotelnik, but in the middle of the round. Kotelnik catchs Khan with a right hook high on Khan's head. And down does Khan he don't seem to hurt but he takes the full 8. Kotelnik begins to have success to the body and hurts Khan, who's face is telling the story of those body shots. Khan comesback with a flurry to the end the round.

38-37 Kotelnik

Round 5 Khan's corner tell him to not get over confident, work behind the jab and keep those hands up. This round is the most uneventful round of the entire fight. Khan boxing at range using the jab and his movement, and he wins a pretty boring 5th round.

48-46 Khan

Round 6 Kotelnik's corner tells him he needs to get going, they tell him you can hurt him you just need to put more effort in. Kotelnik follows his corner's instructions and starts the round faster, but he's picked off from long range constantly and he has now developed a cut on his left eye. And its a pretty bad one. Kotelnik has minor success to the body but Khan is just too fast.

58-55

Round 7 Khan starts the round out faster he sense's Kotelnik is on the verge of going, and smells the victory with the blood streaming down Kotelnik's face. Khan stuns Kotelnik and Kotelnik is now on the ropes taking punishment about 9 unanswered punches land and the ref stops the fight, the commentator's believe it was a bit premature and so do the viewers. But still Khan wins a 7th round TKO.

All 3 judges had it 58-55 going into the 7th round.

Amir Khan states in the interview that Kotelnik is a tough guy, and one of the best fighters at 140. He now says he is ready for the likes of Pacquiao, Marquez, Warren pulls him up a bit sharpish and says he will try and set up a Ricky Hatton vs Amir Khan showdown for later in the year.

That is so true lol

Alphabet title which means nothing but Khan will make out that he is the champion of the world, whilst conveniantly forgetting his best mate Pac man won the real thing by KOing his other best mate in 2 rounds.

Nice one ICB, top stuff man. Was just hoping for some good stories from this, you just got the first.........

We will see a much elusive Khan. I dont think he'll engage and come out firing with both guns in early rounds like he did with barrera. He's gonna take out koltenik's legs first by accumulation punches and will finish him off somewhere in late rounds. Khan by tko.

I think if Khan has learned to protect his evidently fragile chin and in the opening couple of rounds, picks his shots right he could do alright,but I expect it will go like this.

RD 1...Amir eases into the fight looking to take advantage of his reach advantage with a steady jab and short quick combinations..Kotelnik looking to stay close and pressureise Amir soaks up most attacks on the gloves, but lands a couple of good left hooks to steal the opener..
9-10 Kotelnik

RD 2...Amir starts the round brightly,landing a number of good clean strikes and presses Kotelnik who has no real answer to the constant jab that is landing well..
10-9 Amir

RD 3...Kotelnik looks a little more composed and looks to up his work rate,he rides the jabs,counters and starts to land with a number of good body shots that put Amir on a back foot for the first time ..
9-10 Kotelnik

RD 4...Khan ups his work rate and starts to throw good strong quick combinations that are starting to hurt Kotelnik,but he in turn finishes the round strongly and catches Khan with a strong right cross that wobbles Amir..
10-10

RD 5...Amir looks a little dazed and fights of the back foot keeping Kotelnik at bay with a weary jab,but takes no advantage of Khans obvious discomfort.
10-10

RD 6...Kotelnik attempts to press on to Khan,but he finally looks as though the composure that has eluded him since the beginning of the fourth has returned,he is easily countering and presses Kotelnik back, landing with some punishing shots that are taking their toll on the Ukraine who is floored with a simple left hook right cross combination. He takes the count and holds on until the end of the round..
10-8 Khan

RD 7...Amir looks to capitalise on the dominance of the 6th round and immediately sets out to press and punish Kotelnik with some of the quickest and cleanest shots that he has thrown and landed in the fight. But the gutsy Champion looks to grab and hold to see him through to the end of the round.
10-9 Khan

RD 8...A big one for Amir,can he break down the spoil tactics of Kotelnik who is still obviously reeling from the sustained pressure he has been under for the last couple of rounds. He steps up lands a quality right cross that is nailing down the coffin lid on the flagging champions hopes of retaining his title...he throws a sloppy right cross combination,but with his guard lowering with the tiredness from his toughest and finest boxing performance... BANG he is caught with a sweet left hook from the exhausted champion that puts Amir down and cleanly out...Fight over!

Short & sweet:

Khan gets of to a great start winning the 1st 3 rounds with his speed, Kotelnik shows his experience & comes on strong down the stretch, trailing on the cards Kotelnik shows what the championship rounds are all about putting Khan on the seat of his pants in the 10th & has him holding on at the final bell. The split decision is announced in Khan's favor with Galaxy screaming robbery!!!

MoFo2, i'm likin the run down. Over the moon that people are posting this one. Nice. Keep trying to find the time to write my own, and I will.....
Kotelnik has a decent left hook and not too bad a straight right either.

Fenster, i forgot too rep you for that rundown. On the button and super neat......

Khan takes the first 3 rounds, before Kotelnik comes on strong in 4 & 5, dropping Khan at the end of the 5th. Khan gets back up & goes back to his corner. Roach gives him a talking to & Khan runs for the first half of 6th before slowly gaining control at the end which he carries into the following 2 rounds. In the 9th, Khan unleashes a barrage of punches that have Kotelnik stuck on the ropes & it is stopped for a slightly debatable stoppage, although Jim Watt claims that Kotelnik was on the verge of death.

Khan celebrates & talks about how he will fight anybody talking of a rematch with Prescott or a fight with Bradley. Frank Warren steps in & says 'I really think he can beat Tim Bradley, it's about creating a legacy though' after which a few days go by & Warren is in negotiations with Dimitriy Salita for Khan's next fight at the MEN.

So your also confident of Kahns progress then Jaz. Ha. This really is going to be interesting, but only for one person. Its interesting purely to watch how kahn gets on. If Kotelnik wins or loses, what does he gain. Nothing.

What happened to the sig Jaz?
