Barclays Center, Brooklyn - The loss may have been a victory when it comes to the stock of New York fighter Chris Algieri. Under the new tutelage of John David Jackson, it seems that there were more tools in the shed than was expected in his loss to Amir Khan. If nothing else, Algieri showed that he’s more than a guy that boxes off the back foot and can press forward. “The style was definitely to put pressure on Amir, “Algieri told BoxingScene.com. “We wanted to impose my physical strength. I felt that I was having great success. I felt that the second part of the fight was going to be mine. I feel I won the fight. There was action because I was pressing. I felt like I landed the cleaner harder shots. I felt it was definitely my fight. That happens sometimes.”

By Thomas Gerbasi - BROOKLYN - &#150; British welterweight contender Amir Khan kept his hopes of a fight with Floyd Mayweather alive Friday night at Barclays Center, but he had to hold off the charge of a fired-up Chris Algieri to do it, taking a unanimous decision that some ringside observers believed could have gone the other way. Scores were 115-113 and 117-111 twice in a fight that was a lot closer than the latter two scores would indicate, with Algieri putting together a stellar effort in his first bout since a lopsided loss to Manny Pacquiao last November. There was plenty of solid action in the opening frame, though it was surprising to see Algieri &#150; who was in his first fight with new trainer John David Jackson - try to take the fight to Khan at close range, given his height and reach advantages. This sat just fine with Khan, and though Algieri may have landed the best punch of the round when he scored with a hard right, it was Khan who delivered the combinations back that showed the Brit to be unbothered by the blow.

Once upon a time, the prevailing joke in the boxing world was to land the big money fight with Floyd Mayweather you had to beat Andre Berto. It now looks as if Chris Algieri is the next Andre Berto. Perhaps hoping to emulate Manny Pacquiao in landing a coveted Mayweather showdown, Amir Khan will now face the former 140 lb. titlist this weekend at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. A win by Khan figures to set up a big fight in the future, namely standing opposite corner for what has been suggested as the final fight of Mayweather’s incredible career. Few if any figure Algieri to serve more as a supporting player in the bout, which headlines live on Spike TV (Friday, 9:00 p.m. ET). This is not to take anything away from Algieri. He seems like a nice guy and he is a good fighter. However, an elite fighter he is not.
