worse news for Khan, he as a title to defend.
Amir khan is simple to sum up. He's no where near as bad as his critics would have you belive but no where as good as his people are telling him he is. But he won today and that's all that matters.

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.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I don't £15 is bad value in all honesty. You got the Amir Khan world title fight, three of our top Olympians all fighting and a really intriguing junior middleweight showdown between Anthony Small and Matthew Hall.
That's not a bad lineup for £15, certainly better value than some of HBO's weaker offerings.
I think what would really shut up the critics is that if Khan takes on a guy like a Maidana or a Torres and wins. There are still a lot of questions that Khan still has to answered, but this fight imo is a step in the right direction.
Hell just take a look at a guy like Ricky Hatton who fought mainly bums for his first 33 or 34 fights and then catches Kostya when he's on the downside and everyone is singing his praises like he's the 2nd coming of Aaron Pryor and calling him an all time great.
Yea that was terrible, the PPV #'s showed that as well though. They were terrible.
Amir Khan made me ate my words. Congrats to him. His speed played a big part. He did exactly what Roach told him. For a second in the fight, I thought Pac was fighting Kotelnik with the in-n-out, side to side, and down and under move with lightning combinations. I'm also impressed with Kotelnik's defense.
I went back to sleep again immediately after the fight because I just cannot deal with getting up so early in the morning. I am not on suicide watch nor anything like that.
I read through the posts and someone said I had changed my tune in the wake of the result. I don't think so really, I have always said I want Khan to be brutally knocked out. I make no qualms about that, but I wasn't convinced Kotelnik would be able to do it. I was willing it on all through the fight but it wasn't to be. Kotelnik is slow and just wouldn't let his hands go enough. He landed the more telling shots of the fight though. Khan really is SO ineffective in his punching and combos. He will fire off a six punch combo and they will ALL hit the gloves. Quite awful really, flashy but not scoring punches at all.
All in all Khan fought quite well. He had a gameplan and generally stuck with it. but Khan himself dismissed Kotelnik before the fight was signed. Kotelnik is decent, but clearly the weakest of the 140 holders. Khan still has all those flaws and a decent fighter with output and a bit of power takes him out fairly routinely. Khan wastes a lot of energy because he knows he cannot stick around, a smarter fighter would take advantage.
Anyways, well done to Khan. I'm not all that impressed, but he won with little controversy. He got a belt and this is probably as far as his career will go now. He should enjoy this moment.
Let's see what is next, probably a mandatory or two against people we have never heard of and more fleecing of the PPV muppets. Hopefully not, but we shall see.
Just a cut and paste of mine from the other thread....

I should kill him, but having seen his bizarre postings on Amir Khan on these threads it is patently obvious that this guy is mentally handicapped. I can't kill someone who is so obviously drooling all over the keyboard whilst surrounded by posters of Amir Khan trying to do topless tough guy poses. It's just sad, and we should take pity on people like this.
I might be a bit of a hater, but this guy is clearly a raving mentalist and needs special care.![]()
