Official Amir Khan vs Chris Algieri & Undercards Fight Discussion Thread

[samouraļ]

Garbage cards. 115-113 was fair. Khan is not entertaining at all to watch. Floyd would win a boring decision and Pacquiao would knock his head off. Only reason the fight was good was due to Algieri pushing it.

I agree with the red poster

115-113 either way is fine by me, though I do think Khan edged it. Impressed with Algieri though - he should definitely stick with Jackson. He's been let out of the cage.

all he needed was better stamina, cause he gave away the 11th and 10th on pure not workingl

Khan didn't look mediocre, but Chris Algieri is one heck of a talent.

May be if Algieri had a Masters in School of Hard Knocks and not Clinical Nutrition people would take him more seriously.

that left hook that frankiebruno and us chatted about before the fight was evident again,
khan didnt ook good tonight but i think thats because algeiri made him work,
lot of credit due to algeiri, scorecard were a little out, should have at least been 115 - 113

This was a type of fight Khan needed, i'm glad it wasn't easy. According to John David Jackson, Khan only got serious 3 weeks into camp, they had some inside info

You cant take ur eyes off the ball in this sport, its all or nothing.

Algieri used a lot of head movement, he didnt give Khan room to breath, smothered his work, he was on Khans ass 24/7. The left hook wasnt landing much though, but that right hand did a few times.

Overall Khan still outworked him, landed the more accurate shots, and avoided getting into a brawl/dog fight. That was the first real athletic boxer Khan has fought since Zab. Algieri had a number of tools to trouble Khan with and he used them, but throwing one right hand every 2 or 3 rounds isnt going to win you a fight on the cards.

The ref behaved the same same way they behave for Wlad. Are they paid?

The fight wasn't all Khan whatsoever, you're way off the mark with this fight, bordering on ridiculous. All I saw was Khan constantly making mistakes and getting hit with left hooks and overhand rights while Algeri went under his shots. The first 3 rounds were arguably Algeri, along with I believe the 6th and 12th. He may have won I believe either the 8th or 9th too but can't remember. Either way, if you score it anything but a close fight you need your eyes checking.

Wanna count how many times Khan put Algeri in a damn headlock as well? Was a shocking performance.

Khan wasn't impressive to me, but imo people are overrating Algieri's effort much as they did Lamont Peterson's in his last fight with Garcia. I pretty much agreed with the two judges who had it a bit wider.

[FrankieBruno]

i don't know what this mean, please explain

It means the Algieri under John David Jackson is better than the Algieri under a bald headed christian evangelist

Algieri needs to head back down to 140, he'd give Danny Garcia, Broner a run for their money

[FrankieBruno]

so on paper before when the fight was announced,
it came across like khan was just cherry picking an easy fight just so he could lockdown the mayweather fight,
it ended up being a fight where he didnt look so good, anyone think it might have backfired???

I think Khan looking not so good, favors him in the Floyd sweepstakes

That scorecard clearly states Fortuna-Vasquez.

Yeah I know (hence it not being in your quote), but I did have it wider than the 7-5s I'm seeing.
