Algieri DID NOT WIN THE FIGHT. Boxing is not purely scored for the guy being the aggressor, it's about who lands the most, throws the most and has the highest accuracy as well as ring generalship and control of distance as well as a wide range of other factors.. I had it 8-4 and maybe 7-5 at worst but no way did Algieri win that. He was being aggressive but he definitely gave up rounds where he was getting outboxed. Good gameplan to throw Khan off as he definitely did not expect Algieri to be a pressure fighter. I've won amateur bouts being on the back foot for a all 3 rounds.

Maybe Algieri is better than most of you thought?

Algieri also said that he scored 4/5 knockouts in training and that JDJ said that he can punch and he does have good reflexes which he wasn't using before. #ChampionLifestyle

Algieri really surprised me with his come-forward aggressive style and the intensity at which he did it. He pressured Khan, landed some great shots, dictated the pace (most of the fight) and was the aggressor. Very impressive performance by Chris.
The funny thing about this fight is, everyone is saying how impressive Algieri looked and how uninspiring Khan looked - yet Khan is the guy who won

CA clearly has the intelligence that Khan lacks.
He surprised me, and came out of a close fight with much more credit than Khan.
Khan's straight punches are decent, but his hooks are just flurries of arm punches, he has no timing inside at all.
CA controlled the pace and cut the ring really well.

Khan's fights are always exciting because of his chin. Doesn't matter who he is in against there is always a possibility that he could get KTFO at anytime because of his chin.
I was surprised in this fight as he took a few clean shots and didn't go down like he usually does. Algieri must have absolutely no power at all.
