Khan gets WBA title shot against Andraes Kotelnik - 27/6/09

[Fenster]

He's targeted the worst champ in all of boxing to win a title.

Wally.

Kotelnik isn't that bad. Better than Gavin Rees anyway.

I'm surprised that they've gone straight for it, but I doubt they would have done it without Roach's input. They've probably worked out its an easier field at 140, and that there was no guarantee that JMM would vacate in time.

I think Khan moving up to 140 is a good decision, he's always been a welterweight draining himself down to lightweight in my eyes. is kinda typical for Khan though to fight the man he called the worst champio ever Will be a good fight but Khan will win by TKO.

No way, Khan has made lightweight easy, Kotelnik has fought some of lightwelterweights best boxers and punchers and done well, Khan wasnt a big puncher at lightweight.

Im very surprised that Warren has gone this route, not only up in weight but against a very solid fighter, the only plus for Khan is that Kotelnik isnt a big puncher but on the other hand, im sure Kotelniks punches will hurt more than Gomez's and in Kotelniks favour he doesnt really get hit much.

Im surprised Warren didnt try Castillo for a light welter match
