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

[OumaFan]

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.

Khan KO'd Ortiz in the amateurs

[OumaFan]

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.

[OumaFan]

Well if he fights Ortiz that would be something.

Does seem a bit odd to leave 135 so quickly unless he's got weight problems.

[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.

Amateurs are amateurs, deep thinking I know, and obviously Khan has had his chin problems as well.

I don't think Khan's people would be that interested in putting him right in with a bigger puncher than Prescott who's far more skilled. Its not a ridiculous mismatch but he'd the underdog.
