This is exactly right.

Going into the fight, we knew a few things
1. Kotelnik would ball up as long as Khan was letting his hands go
2. Khan doesn't have the power to hurt Kotelnik (who has a very good chin)

What we learned in this fight
1. Khan has pretty damn good stamina, he was moving a lot and throwing a lot of punches and he didn't really tire until near the end of the 11th round. I was honestly impressed with that.

Looking back, you have to wonder how could anyone expect a different result? To use this fight as a measuring stick on 140 lb. division is pretty stupid, since noone else in the division fights even close to Kotelnik's style.
