Unfortunately thoses odds have long gone mate.. bookies rarely make mistakes

You can get some decent odds on a late stoppage though if you fancy Kotelnik. ;)

Im not really sure about this match up, i know Andriy Kotelnik is durable and can go 12 rounds. But he's slow as hell and his punching power is only decentish if thats even a word.

I mean if you wrote this on a piece of paper, about all there best attrbitues Amir Khan should really win this one, by wide 12 round decision. But he's so fragile and even to the body he can be hurt badly.

I think Andriy Kotelnik may have the experience and toughness, to maybe drag Amir Khan into deep waters and maybe stop him late on. In the MAB fight i still see the same flaws in Amir Khan.

Whether or not Andriy Kotelnik can expose them, is another matter. I'll put a bet on for Andriy Kotelnik by late stoppage. But at the moment im debating in my head, am i overrating Andriy Kotelnik or underrating Amir Khan ?

I have no doubt Khan has the ability to box his way to a UD.. but he's far to fragile to ever have confidence in.

If guys like Limond and Gomez can deck him then Kotelnik can, then take into account he's moving up from lightweight, Kotelnik has never been down or thrashed by anyone, fought big punchers like Maidana and Witter.. it's Khan that has it to prove.

I can see Khan expending a lot of energy mainly hitting gloves with 5-6 punch combinations. This could lead to him tiring late on. If you can get good odds on a late Kotelnik stoppage then it's probably worth a punt.

If Khan is to win he has to ignore the atmosphere and be as patient as hell. Kotelnik is going to put it on him at some point so Khan is probably going to have to weather something.

It's an interesting match-up really. I'm struggling for a prediction in it. I reckon Khan on points or premature stoppage but i wouldn't be surprised to see a late win for Kotelnik.

Warren wins because no way should anyone have to pay for this crap fight for an alphabet title.
