Amir Khan vs Andreas Kotelnik fight thread

[RP33]

Kotelnik just got owned.

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.

[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.

[Gandalf]

how are they charging £15 for this shit.

Not impressed in the slightest. Kotelnik was chosen as a weak opponent to get a title and it paid off for them.

Kotelnik has heart and decent basics but was never going to outwork Khan. It was always going to be about Khans chin and unfortunately Kotelnik doesnt hit hard enough.

Khan did what he needed to do so I give him credit for that. I still don't like him though and think he is an accident waiting to happen.

These commentators suck in a way that is just beyond description.

[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.

120-108

War Khan, I can tell his post fight speech is going to enrage Miles, Missy and Game.

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.

[GAME]

I'll just have to wait for the next fight . I knew how this 1 was gonna go and it went EXACTLY how I thought it would. Lets see if he fights someone better next time but we now know that Khan has zero power and he is scared to get hit. If all his fights are like that he wont be an attraction for long.

Look at the top four in this weight division and tell me what they would do to Khan.

Kotelnik was the worst world champion out there. That reign is now taken by Amir Khan.

That's the route he has chosen and he's made a fair bit of money from it. Fair play to the lad, but anyone who has a little bit of boxing knowledge will be able to see through it.

£15 is just too sick for words.

[OumaFan]

Bilbo, it was far from a dominating win.

I like Khan partially cause everyone hates him but he hit Kotelnik's gloves all night, the good shots of the fight were mostly landed by Kotelnik.

I didn't see anything wrong with his post fight interview, seemed humble and respectful.

Well im not a Amir Khan fan as you know, and to be honest i wasn't in awe with the performance like the commentators were. And some of the comments from the commentator's were ridiculous.

They were actually trying to insinuate that Amir Khan's chin has got better ? how in the world does your chin improve ? sure you can do neck exercises, but a weak chin is a weak chin. And nothing can change that.

I do think however it was a solid performance, Amir Khan kept his composure. He also had decent stamina, and a better defense. And i liked the way he would put his man in check when Andriy Kotelnik would try and take over.

Overall he has improved and i think his boxing brain, has improved quite alot which is the most impressive thing to me. I do think Andriy Kotelnik fought bravely in the later rounds, and i had it 9-3 or 8-4 for Amir Khan.

I thought Andriy Kotelnik come on well in the later rounds, which i expected him to do. I still think if Amir Khan come's up against a puncher he will be in trouble though, remember Andriy Kotelnik isn't a big puncher. And he was able to land quite well in the later rounds, and in my head im just wondering if he was in with a harder puncher, would he had survived ?

I don't think so but overall a solid performance from Amir Khan, over a solid opponent. But im still nowhere near sold on Amir Khan, but for now let him enjoy his moment and im happy for him he won a world title.

[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?

I was watching something different to the commentrey. Watched a guy Hitting Gloves all night
