Official Amir Khan vs Chris Algieri & Undercards Fight Discussion Thread

[FrankieBruno]

any idea why that was?

not sure if thats true, khan didnt look gassed to be fair...

yea he landed the right quiet a few times,
if algeiri used his jab effectively to let him come in and land some combination it wouldve been good,
but like you say you cant win rounds with single shots here and there

Chris was in the best shape of his life, you have to remember he's only been dropped by 2 guys, Ruslan and Pacman. Prior to Ruslan, he'd never tasted the canvas. He has a decent chin, Khan doesnt **** hard as Pac or Ruslan.

Also he was all in Khans face, not allowing him room to work, Khan did sit on his punches, a few times, he didnt wobble Chris, but he did sting him, enough to make him back off.

Trust me, it's better for Khan that he is made to think in the ring, as opposed to his previous 100mph tactics.

Exactly, it gets much worse when you come back from a major setback before it gets higher than its ever been. Khan looked bad but what he'll learn from this fight is a lot more than he would ever learn from an easy 12-0 like we're used to seeing in his last two. Khan looked bad but he clearly won 8-4 with some hairy moments.

[Hype job]

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.

Ohhhh fkk off Khan was hitting gloves for the most part.

It's over, no Floyd for you boy!

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, Thurman or Brook end his career and he knows it.

That's why he's desperate for Floyd, that final cash out.

8-4 Algieri I have a mind of my own and don't d*ckride what the commentators tell me is happening or count blocked punches.

I thought Khan was far more active in terms of letting his hands go, Algieri was having to chase to get into range then spent a lot of time covering up before letting his shots go, and when he did let them go they often hit air (as well as the odd big shot that got through). He just wasn't doing enough to win the rounds for me. Interpretation I guess.

I'm not too bothered about Mayweather-Khan, I think he's destined not to land the fight anyway, the timing just never goes right for him.

Yeahhhh just totally gloss over Algieri's body punches why don't you.

Or how the featherfisted Algieri made him do the Booty Dew on multiple occasions.

WTF did Khan do? A great deal of his stuff missed too, mostly caught on the gloves.

[Hype job]

To me, Algieri was landing cleaner. It shouldn't really matter whether Algieri has < insert big puncher name here > type power. It's not like Khan was offsetting Algieri's power with much harder shots of his own.

Anyway, I guess we both saw different things, and that's cool. I just really really hope we don't get Mayweather-Khan next.

He's a Khan d*ckrider, Algier pressures him, staggered him, walked him down and Khan responded with some patty cake arm punches that landed on gloves.

Khan is done lmao.

I don't really care about this fight, or the Floyd fight. I agree Khan loses to Brook, Thurman or any big punchers, however I could only find 4 rounds for Algieri in this bout, he did not win imo Julio Diaz did better against Khan.

Hardly. Settle yourself down.

[trixx12]

Khan's style gives mayweather problems.
Khan vs Mayweather would be exciting fight,make it done.

[FrankieClutch]

Yes you are right

The commentator at one point mentions that Hunter tells Khan in the corner, something about John David Jackson has Algieri fighting out of his normal character

and then you hear Khan mention post fight interview, they were not expecting Algieri to fight like that, so they needed a plan b.

Chris flipped the script on Khan..

Khan eventually made the relevant adjustments

Yeah, Khan even touched on it afterwards. Khan looked really good from round 8 on, outside of the 12th round

[Southpaw93]

Khan needs to go to the body more
