I think Rees stands a chance here, Kotelnik isn't a fast starter, and if Rees xcan get a few of the early rounds in the bag with his fast numerous punches ,then Kotelnik may be playing catchup , which adds pressure to him.
With Enzo in his corner Rees is going to be in great shape, if he does pull it off away from home in Germany , then he's got to be taken seriously.
Hopefully all three judges will be from Germany, unfortunately Kotelnik will beat Rees easily and Universum won´t have a chance to get their payback for that disgrace, that went down in England. I´m actually surprised the fight is in Germany, maybe Universum has already promised W arren/Khan a shot in England in return, since Universum never cared about Kotelnik. Or Warren wants to keep the belt away from Ricky Hatton, so he gives it to a real fighter. Nothing W arren would fear more than Ricky Hatton becoming the mandatory challenger to Amir Khan, haha.
If that happened it'd be likely to be in a couple of years when (and if Khan is established at that weight. If thats the case I can see Hatton falling off in a couple of years and Khan winning. Promotional nightmare though because they are both darlings of british boxing and whoever wins is likely to lose some popularity of the others fans a bit like Lewis on beating Bruno.
What disgrase are you going on about mate!
The three british judges, who scored the second fight between Kotelnik and Mbaye a draw. Hey, if Warren can have three british judges for his french fighter, I´m sure we´ll agree to three German judges for the ukrainian fighter.
