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

[Gandalf]

I wonder if this will be for the WBA's regular title, super title, interim title or super interim title?

If it is for the "Wiped Bottom Amateur" belt then it is his. Nobody can compete with Khan for that.

I don't think Kotelnik is a gimme either, Khan will have to go the distance, he's not stopping him.

I'd be shocked if Ortiz-Khan happened.

I would be delighted if that happened. It would be the end of this carry on!

[OumaFan]

Yeah, Prescott hits hard but is pretty average, Ortiz is a different thing altogether. Khan would have to be really really improved.

The thing with Khan is he seems to have improved his defense which was as big a problem as his chin but I don't think he hits very hard at all, at least compared to what some seem to think. Have got questions about his overall ring intelligence and instincts too.

Was it a KO KO or was it a points stoppage?

Looking at Khan its no surprise he was a great amateur, he's built for it, still not sure what was so special about Audley.

[OumaFan]

I actually don't get all the hate for Khan except for Missy's Barrera inspired hate which I approve of.

holy shat! A worse chin than Khan? I didn't think it possible.

Ortiz has looked way more solid as a pro IMO. Swings and roundabouts perhaps. Looks solid though.

[OumaFan]

Not that you need a reason to hate anybody, I'm all for irrational dislike of certain fighters, just seems like Khan has a load of it.

He should be hated, he takes fake wins off of great fighters and then runs up divisions to avoid fighting anyone meaningful. Khan is a git, I hope he gets smashed up.

[Fenster]

Ortiz has been floored by journeymen. Khan has beaten him.

It's hardly a ridiculous mismatch which Khan and his mob will be shaking in their boots about. Come on now.

This is pretty funny as I, like others on here, remember Khan saying Kotelnik was the worst world champ EVER on Bunces show last month. Talk about setting yourself up for a fall should you lose!

Fun fight though even if Khan doesnt deserve a world title shot yet.
The move up will be fine as Khans a tall lightweight and he always looks too skinny at lightweight. The extra 5 pounds wont affect the speed.

And I totally agree with what people are saying about Hatton, theres no question Warrens got that in the back of his mind for next year should the results fall right this year. It would be mega$$$. Hatton will smash him to fcuk but at least he'll get paid muchos mola for taking a beating. Theres no way Khan could live with Hatton for any more than a bunch of rounds.
