Comments Thread For: Photos: Khan, Algieri in Tense Staredown at Weighin

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In a bout that could have major implications down the road in the welterweight division, Amir Khan and Chris Algieri both made weigh for their headlining act Friday evening at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Khan tipped the scales at 146.4 lbs.; Algieri came in slightly lighter at 146.2 lbs. for his second straight welterweight bout.

The outcome of the evening could potentially factor into the next—and possibly last-ever—opponent for Floyd Mayweather Jr., who insists that September 12 will mark the final fight of his legendary career.

Nothing"tense" about this stare down.

Khan looks shook in those pictures, he looks like he's thinking about Mayweather actually.

I didn't expect Algieri to look so much bigger than Khan. Khan looks like the one coming up in weight.

If Khan beats Algieri convincingly I wouldn't mind a September fight against Mayweather.

Oscar vs Sturm level sexiness.

Khan doesnt look as big at full WW like he did at or just above JrWW. Would be funny if Algeri bullied Khan, but I know its farfetched.

Being handsome doesn't win you fights, but it always wins at life.

Algieri better come out guns blazing.

He needs to redeem himself after that farce with Pacman.

Damn Algieri looks good at 147, how the hell did he make 140? I think he is 5'11?! Anyway hope he destroys Khan but it won't happen. Ah well.
