A Great Bill For The Khan Vs Kotelnik Fight

Just a quick post regarding the Khan - Kotelnik undercard.

This is such an exciting card, but one fight that, for me, really stands out is Anthony Small Vs Matthew Hall. These two boxers couldn't be more different. Hall is not a talker, he has very little to say. And Small is just talk talk talk!! He is like a mini council estate ALI wannabe! There has been a lot of friction in the press conferences between these two. This fight could well be the best of the night. Matthew Hall has good power and has adopted the "Mike Tyson" style, while Anthony Small is a "jab keep it at range", use the ring type of fighter.

This should be a very interesting and explosive fight. I want Hall to win, and i think he will, but wouldn't be surprised if Anthony Small was able to use his boxing skills effectively enough to keep his distance and get the win.

Another fight that should be good is Enzo Maccarinelli Vs Denis Lebedev. This is a make or break fight for big mac. After being knocked out in his last fight against Ola Afolabi, who is seen by most as a good journey man at the most. Big mac really needs to prove he can mix with the best and win this fight against Lebedev, and win it in style. Where does he go if he loses? Right to the bottom i think. Enzo is lucky to have Frank Warren as his promoter because without him he would no way of got this fight. Also being a cruiser weight, it's quite a dead division at the moment, with not many top fighters. Denis Lebedev is said to be quite a good fighter with an impressive fight and KO record.

I really hope Enzo can get his boxing career back on track. He has changed trainers from Enzo Calzaghe to Karl Ince, so let's see if this change can bring out a new and improved big mac.

I have to say, it's been well talked about recently that in the Enzo training camp for the Ola Afolabi fight there was no sparring!!! I cannot believe Enzo Calzaghe would think this is OK. Sparring is one of the most important aspects of boxing training. I think that shows that either, Enzo Calzaghe is not as experienced as a trainer as people think, or he is possibly losing his marbles...Perhaps he doesn't care too much about the fighters now that his son Joe Clazaghe has retired. Because i bet for Joe he made sure all preparations were spot on.

Whatever the reason i think Enzo Maccarinelli done the right thing in changing trainers. No sparring - That is a joke. It's actually beyond a joke. No wonder Enzo Maccarinelli was knackered after one round against Ola Afolabi.

Anyway, let's hope big mac makes a spectacular comeback!

**Update**

Spectacular comeback! Oh yeah, he done that alright. He got stopped in 3 rounds..I think he should call time on his boxing career. Or stick to domestic level maybe..He just hasn't got what it takes for world level. Shame though because Enzo is a good guy. But good guy or not, you have to have the skill level and punch resistance, defense, etc etc, and im sorry to say that he hasn't got it. Read more about the loss

Khan Vs Kotelnik - Who Wins?

 Khan Vs Kotelnik - Who Wins?

The fight is almost here, with there being a delay along the way it's added even more excitement to the fight. Some people were saying that maybe Kotelnik had been hurt in sparring ( punched in the mouth ) and needed some time to heal before taking on a good, and much improved fighter - Amir Khan. Other people are saying that Kotelnik looks soft and might have needed more time to get in shape.

Whatever the real reason is we may never know, one thing i do know is that Kotelnik is coming to fight and he will not lay down for no one. Personally i think Kotelnik has been underestimated by many Amir Khan fans. Kotelnik has the skills and fitness to beat Khan.

But to be honest i think Khan will win, he's the more hungry, has greatly improved skills, and has one of the best sparring partners in the world ( Pacman ) and one of the best trainers in the world (Freddy Roach), so if Amir Khan can beat Kotelnik it will be now. I think he is ready for this fight, but the one thing that is a concern is his punch resistance. What happens when he gets hit, and im sure he will at some point. Kotelnik isn't noted as a one punch KO hitter, but he has enough power to wear a fighter down and eventually knock them out. This is no walk in the park fight for either fighter that's for sure. Should be a great fight!

So who wins? Let me know.
