Amir Khan vs Andreas Kotelnik fight thread

[LEGION]

Lol Khan going to the Calzaghe slappy stuff and the crowd is going bonkers lol. He's still winning, Kotelnik doing jack shat'. 9-2 for me. I think Kotelnik actually threw an honest jab that round

[LEGION]

No!!!!! The stream went out; golly not now this is the greatest fight ever

[RP33]

Kotelnik just got owned.

[amat]

Good win for Khan, but Roach still has a lot of work to do, Kotelnik was pretty much tailor made for Khan. Still a test, but there are tougher challenges in the division and he's not the world champion because of this like the over the top commentators say.

[Kev]

Great performance by Khan, doubtless the critics will still rain on him but he's going to be a star.

He'l beat Marquez in a year's time, although they still won't give him credit because he will be too small, too old and coming off a loss to Floyd Mayweather.

I think Khan showed what would have happened to Barrera had the cut not occured.

Dominating win for Amir, he's improved leaps and bounds since joining up with Freddie Roach.

[LEGION]

These commentators are worse than Teddy Atlass; you'd think he beat Floyd Mayweather by ko. Khan did it though so good on him.

no he won't, JMM won't fight in Manchester.

although they still won't give him credit because he will be too small, too old

which of those is not true? He is older and smaller.

and coming off a loss to Floyd Mayweather.

likely but that hasn't stopped people pushing for Khan to fight Hatton was really looked ready for a coffin.

I think Khan showed what would have happened to Barrera had the cut not occured.

Unproven except to say Khan was the only one hurt (by a punch) in that fight.

as popular as a cock flavoured lollipop.

Bilbo you must be off your rocker seriously, i think Amir Khan done well over a solid opponent. But come off it JMM has shown power, and has one of the most intelligent boxing brains i've seen of this era. And he is also a master counter puncher which is a big no/no for Amir Khan.

Lets not get crazy here, yes Andriy Kotelnik is a decent opponent. But he is slow and he has no power. And to say Amir Khan would beat a fighter like JMM is crazy talk.

This is the first real decent opponent Amir Khan has ever fought, except for Breidis Prescott who himself got beat by some fighter. I've never heard of, lets wait and see when Amir Khan fights a top 10 fighter who has some power. Before you start calling Amir Khan a god.

Not really Ice, a couple years ago we all 'knew' that Manny would get battered if he moved up to face Hatton let alone Oscar, we would have said the p4p undisputed middleweight champ Jermain Taylor would never in a million years lose to Carl Froch, that Barrera would never lose to Amir Khan,.

Times change and a year from now Marquez will be older and slower, and Khan stronger and better.

I'd expect him to win a unanimous decision if they fought 12 months from now, and after the result I expect you guys would just dismiss it as good timing that was all.

Suspect chin aside Khan poses tremendous problems for any boxer to solve. If they can keep his defense tight which seemed a lot better tonight he is hard for ANYBODY to beat.

Anyway, don't take my word for it, just let it all unfurl and you'll see.

He's going to be in the p4p top 10 within the next 12 months.

Where will he be on the top ten list relative to Froch, higher, lower, 1 or 2?

I think your being a little humble there mate. Possibly top 3 p4p. I reakon hes in the top 10 right now.

[OumaFan]

LOL, all these years I've been wrong. I thought Teddy Atlas was not only the worst boxing announcer of all time but the worst sporting commentator of all time and it turns out I was wrong on both, I just haven't been watching enough British boxing.

I took a look on another forum and everybody's got Kotelnik 116-112. Meh, I don't agree but Kotelnik landed the good punches.

[Youngblood]

Smart fight for Khan. I mostly give Roach the credit for it.

Khan has all the speed and skill in the world but a pea-sized brain. Taking what Khan has, agility and speed, suspect chin, was a perfect game plan and well executed.

Congrats to Khan. He deserves it.

He's gonna get KTFO tho again, dramatically, as lacks the power to do it. Just a matter of time and circumstance.

[DatsiK]

Well done Amir, you done england proud mate.

Thought he put in a very good performance, sure he didn't land any dazzling punches or show any power but he did what he had to do, and he dominated the fight. He also took 2 or 3 decent shots so now maybe we as a community can consider highering the profile of his jaw from 'glass' to 'weak'.

Kotelnik has heart and decent basics but was never going to outwork Khan.

Well you've changed your tone. What happened to Khan getting brutally KO'd and embarresed. Nice way to retrace your steps and change your story.

I expect alot of people to be making up various excuses now that Khan is the winner, but who gives a fuck, he's proven his critics wrong for now.

Who's next for Khan?
