Official Amir Khan vs Chris Algieri & Undercards Fight Discussion Thread

[SplitSecond]

as a comeback fight algieri's team should have picked a more stylistically winnable fight for him

khan is gonna beat the crap outta him

[vorgaphe]

Algieri is a tremendous warrior who just can't be put down. He holds win over a beast like Ruslan Provodnikov whose fight with Bradley was so brutal his speech slurred for 2 months and I think should've had the decision. Then he holds a win over Emmanuel Taylor who was in a fight of the year candidate with About Billions Adrien Broner. Just coming off of challenging for the WBO version of the WW title against Fighter of the Decade. Anybody out there will have his hands full against the collegian warrior.

We'll see how he does with new trainer John David Jackson.

Khan on the other hand has experience on his side along with superior speed and better skill level and I believe will out box Algieri. Amir Khan holds wins over some top top names. With Virgil Hunter he has taken a 180 and has shown us new looks on the defensive side of things.

This is a great chess match type of fight. Great for the fans! Can't wait.

Never been down in his career has he?

Algieri is a better opponent than Shawn Porter.

Even though he's never beaten a welterweight? Yeah, sure. Hopefully he'll improve off of his 16 point loss to Pacquiao though.

Giroud is the best striker in the Premiership on current form. The fact that he's a total dish is just a bonus.

Ha Ha

Having Giroud as your first-choice striker is embarrassing for any top club. Bad times for Arsenal I guess. Easy game, find the odd one out:

Wright - Van Persie - Giroud - Bergkamp - Henry

Good fight!

Will be tough but Khan can do it

Khan fanboys trying to hype algieri.....

Brooks has them shook

[Ringlife]

Khan by decision.

[boliodogs]

I knew Khan would pick a very very safe opponent like this. A career 140 pounder who can't break an egg and can't really fight very well. Khan talks about fighting tough guys like Thurman, and Broner and says he can beat Mayweather and Pacquiao but look who he ends up fighting. Pacquiao softened Algieri up for him with 6 knock downs and scores of 120 to 105. Khan is just fighting Paqcquiao's leftovers but he won't beat Algieri by the huge margin Pacquiao did. Of course Khan will win. So what. Algieri is not very good at all. Then after Khan beats up Algieri he and his loyal fan club, me, myself and I will brag about how he is an elite fighter and how he would destroy Mayweather and Pacquiao if only they had the courage to fight him. Khan's choice to fight Algieri is a disgusting cherry pick by a big talking chicken who is afraid to fight a good fighter who can punch like Thurman or Brook.

Should be easy work for Khan but I'll be hoping Algeiri can pull off the upset

When you like a fighter so much you start defending their penis size, i think its time to step back and reflect on your life
