AMIR KHAN VS ANDRIY KOTELNIK BETTING TIPS

Amir Khan's price has taken another drop as his widely-anticipated bout with Andriy Kotelnik draws closer by the day. Currently, Khan is listed at 4/9 to win the bout and secure the WBA Super Lightweight Championship that Kotelnik won off of Gavin Rees. One of the interesting subplots to this bout is the fact that both men were Olympic Silver Medalists with Khan coming in 2nd in Athens with Kotelnik winning silver in Sydney. Kotelnik's record is 31 wins from 34 fights with 13 KO's, 2 losses and 1 draw. Kotelnik carries a 13/8 price for the outright win with the draw paying 25/1. We all saw Khan's epic loss to Breidis Prescott, his first as a professional, and it appears as though he's learned a lot since then and made some big moves towards shoring up some of the weaker portions of his game. Khan is expected by bookmakers to strike early. His round betting odds increase dramatically once you get to the 10th round. He takes a dip in the 2, 3, 4, and 5 rounds before his price starts to climb again. At his lowest he is 20/1 and at his highest he is 40/1. Kotelbik's odds range from 28/1 to 50/1 with his best rounds also being 2-5. Clearly, the bookmakers expect both fighters to come out guns blazing. Amir Khan odds to win on KO, TKO or DQ pay 2/1 with a points win considered slightly morelikely at 6/4. A Kotelnik KO, TKO or DQ pays 3/1 with a points win listed at 6/1. Clearly, Kotelnik needs to try to win by KO. Bookies are split on whether this will go the distance or not with yes and no both listed at 5/6.
