Amir Khan vs Andreas Kotelnik fight thread

[generalbulldog]

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.

This is a good unbias look at the fight. Yes Khan hasn't really fought top quality opponents, but this is a right step in the direction. I also had it 8-4.
I would like to see him fight Bradley or Maidana next.

[MIKAY]

I think you feel a hard-on coming.

Which you will be sucking on right?

I have bigger and better things to put in my mouth.

Guranteed you do!!

I think he has a good chance against margarito or shane, would be interesting.

What are you on crack?

Would be close, Khans to fast for them and has the power to knock Margarito out. Plus he carries his weight up well and MG is slow as hell.

WHAT!?!?! has the power to knock Margarito out!?!?! that is absurd. Khan did these pitter patter combos all night. Yes he is fast but be real here I am sorry but that is just the stupidest thing I have ever heard. A man who was taking bombs from Cotto and not knocked down and you say Khan can do it, give me a break

You need to get your head checked out mate. Khan would out-box Tony all day but the second Tony lands a semi-big shot, Khan will be on the floor dead. I'm all for people being positive towards Khan for once but you're going too far. I think Miles is going to try to kill you pretty soon...

[OumaFan]

Oh well I tried to be a Khan fan.

It just wasn't part of my destiny, unlike Khan who, as the announcers subtly noted, lived his destiny tonight with a thrilling magnoriforous performance

Edit-I thought Mikay was being serious for a while there.

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

I agree the commnetary was terrible/biased. I do think Amir Khan hit alot of arms/gloves. But Andriy Kotelnik is no mug either, he's a solid opponent with a decent boxing brain. I didn't think he would get caught with much silly punches. Overall a decent win for Amir Khan, but i'd still like to see how he deals with a top 10 fighter who can punch. He's only ever fought one puncher, and look what happened there.

Kotelnik haas got to be the most frustrating boxer i have ever watched Khan was leaving him self open in the later stages screaming at my pc screen did not help kotelnik not one bit. He has improved but lets see him in with someone who is gonna move forward and throw something!!!!!!!

[The Rela]

The irony is if that was John Murray who had done that you'd all be raving and saying he'd kill Amir Khan.

In his last 3 fights since the Prescott disaster he has not just won he has completely outclassed his opponents.

Of the current lot at 140 there is nobody to be afraid of at all in my opinion.

I think he can beat Urango, Malignaggi and even Tim Bradley, Bradley none of them being big punchers either. Urango is tough but far too slow imo.

If he fights Marquez a year from now he beats him, as I've said many times before. But by then you lot will have written Marquez off so the win won't mean anything.

I think i was pretty fair with my assetment, im not big on John Murray either. I think he's an exciting/solid fighter. But he's nowhere near world class.

Well the 1st opponent he fought after the Breidis Prescott fight, was a complete bum who fought Kid Thunder or whoever. If he can't dominate him he should be a postman.

The MAB fight well you know my views on that, MAB was undersized. He had looked terrible in past warm up fights. And was clearly past his prime, MAB was also headbutted and the fight should of been a no contest.

I don't really count that im sorry but i don't, thats just an old legend who's ready for the taking. But he got off to a terrible start, based on a headbutt and could never get in the fight. And was fighting with one eye.

You know my views on the Andriy Kotelnik, because there above. But again i don't see how that fight proves he's ready for the likes of JMM. Let alone beating him which is crazy talk. But if he somehow beat him, i would give him credit why wouldn't i ? its not the same as the MAB fight.

But lets get one thing straight here, this is the first real solid opponent. Amir Khan has fought yes lets give him credit, which he deserves. But lets also not get silly here like your doing, because your a big Amir Khan fan.

I think there's plenty of 140 pounder's who could test him.

Devon Alexander
Junior Witter
Marcos Rene Maidana
Timothy Bradley
Kendall Holt
Ricardo Torres
Lamont Peterson
Mike Alvrado
Randall Bailey

Any of these fights i would be fine with.

You talk sense.

It's hard to get carried away with someone who has been on his arse quite a few times in his career.

The Sky commentators are a fucking joke, they would tell you that shit was great to eat. Amir Khan said Kotelnik was the worst World Champion out there and that was the consensus. Khan was favourite and I fully expected him to win this fight. He won it and I have seen improvements in Khan's game which is hats off to Roach imo.

I think Khan is a good fighter but the hype that surrounds him and the Frank Warren BS that surrounds him too is outrageous.

£15 ppv for Khan is sick. Too sick for words.

[ElTerribleMorales]

120-108 118-110 118-110 is pretty dominating in my book.

I actually thought Kotelnik might have nicked 3 rounds but Khan was in control from the first bell.

Leaving Pacquaio out of the equation Khan might just be the best in this division. I'd certainly fancy him to outpoint Urgango, the WBC is vacant and Tim Bradley holds the other.

Bradley is decent but to say he's different class to Khan is just wrong imo.

Khan could unify this division imo.

are you kidding me? Bradley, Holt, Torres, Urango, Maidana, and Pacquiao all beat Khan IMO

Are you crazy, Khan would beat all above apart from pacman and would probably lose out on points in a hard fought fight.

yea, i'm not even sure Khan beats Prescott in a rematch, you're smoking crack dude

[MIKAY]

I can see Mg chasing down Khan all night getting completly exhausted by the 10th. Khan throws a fast combination which stagers margarito for the first time in the fight due too tirdness and swineflu. Margarito fails to exit hios corner in the 11th

fuck me, I think I just read the most stupid thing posted at Saddo's ever and I've been here 7 years!

I should ban you for trolling or being thick. Either one is a shootable offence.

[chip]

agree 100% i wouldnt pay for it and never will until he fights somebody decent who moves forward actually throwing something.

On another note we have at least discovered what you will be sucking on tonight.

Sorry we have allready established what you will be sucking on tonight "somthing big" epic fail. Throwing around bans now are we?

[DatsiK]

Due too tirdness and swineflu.

LOL. That sentance right there deserves my rep. You're a crazy bastard, but you're making me laugh at least.

[chip]

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.

Pac would kill him; don't be stupid. Maidana would have him doing his best Vic Darch. impression.
