Sky really are a disgrace this year with their boxing coverage.

I paid £15 for that and they don't have the decency to let me watch all of the fights on the bloody card. There is very little respect shown to the viewers at home with this decision and I really don't see the benefit to them of doing this.

Maybe one day they will pay for the contempt that they show to the general public.

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.
I agree with your assessment. Personally I only gave Kotelnik one round, although I didn't see the fourth and thought the second could have gone either way. How can you score much for Kotelnik when he is being outworked and landed? Khan wasn't getting through with much, but he was more active and displaying great ring generalship.

I dont think 120-108 was outrageous. The fight was more competitive than that indicates, but remember it is scored on a round by round basis. If Khan won every round ust by a hair he would still win by that score. Can someone name me a round Kotelnik clearly won?
