Khan is simply outworking Kotelnik, both fighters doing a good job blocking punches, Khan is controlling the pace of the fight and throwing more punches.

Khan winning 9-2

The 11th was a good round for Kotelnik.
Khan looks to be ahead but not by that much.
I'm blaming it on the stream if I'm wrong.

Cause you shouldn't reward a fighter for only landing on the arms, maybe?

No. But you're not watching on a stream you'll know he's landed ALOT more than Kotelnik.

"Bitch" ?

rofl?

Learn to score a boxing match?

I dont care if the guy has pillows on his gloves.

All i know is Kotelnik has NEVER been down or knocked down.

Kotelnik is landing little to nothing compared to Khan.

What score do u have it then?

Than by that measure you shouldn't reward Kotelnik, hes landing nothing.

but when Kotelnik lands, they tend to be solid. it's simple preference.

I have Khan winning 8-3 for the record.

Gosh, I hate saying I told you so...

Actually, that's a terrible terrible lie. I love saying I told you so.

Khan won that - good performance.

But..............

He for me looks weak at the top level.

Fair play to him though

Fight over, Khan has won for sure. There were a few close rounds, but in my view it should be no closer than about 117-111

Fair play. Very good 12 round show. Very good.

I have backed heavily against him based on Limond & Gomez, but was proven wrong tonight.

Styles make fights, Kotelnik is clearly a skilled bull with a great chin, I would question his pop. Khan's style and speed gave him fits he couldn't handle.

Khan is clearly better than Kotelnik.

Khan 10-2

It was high-level sparring. Khan won't be able to keep others in the division on the outside for such long periods.

im listening on radio 5...sounded exciting altho they are a bit arse licky.

b4 the fight they say Kotelnik cant punch...then after they say his chin was tested ???

is this true ?

Very impressed with khan, boxed very smart. I had 50quid on him getting sparked but glad to see him do well

And his punch resistance seemed a little better tonight for some reason i thought.

congratulions to Khan WBA light welter champion

Haters can keep on hating but you can't stop progress

120-108 - sack that twat

had a hard time giving khan rounds when his offense is nullified by Koltenik's defense and Khan is on the backfoot

far too wide scores, the 120-108 is dodgy as fornicate.

Khan deserved it by a few rounds, just managed to land a bit more even though 90% of his punches were blocked.

can't say it was unfair - good overall performance from Khan. Concerned about his offence but good defence, his chin seems sturdier at LWW and he fought a very intelligent fight.

Kotelnik was on the defence most of the bout. But landed several right hands. Khan usually responded with flurries

120-108

Is that some kind of mistake ?

Khan won ... but every round.

i believe prescot lost on points last night ? thats some sad story for him .

Good win for the lad but I hope his offence doesn't suffer for the focus on his defence

He looked a little impotent moving forward tonight

After seeing the fight I'm not suprised by the scores Khan won almost every round.

What did Kotelnik do to win more than 2 rounds. He landed a shot every now and then but never remotely hurt Khan.

Khan outworked him almost every round and controlled the pace of the fight. Both fighters did a good job of blocking punches Khan just threw way more.

I am not a fan of either fighter, just calling it like I see it.

Good performance by Khan, World Champion (no more than a European title fight in reality) but good luck to the kid all the same.

Turned out to be a very good card I was impressed with all the Olympians, Small and espiacally Amir Khan total class he looked very good just brilliant imo also Gavin looked very good as well his fitness is mind boggling

Why are they not showing the other fights?
