Maybe Algieri is better than most of you thought?

[Mike D]

Algieri was training in Miami? Did he hit up any anti-aging clinics?

Aglieri looked a lot stronger tonight, just saying.

Dude, spare us with the baseless PED accusations. He looked stronger because he was facing one of the chinniest fighters in the sport. That's why he looked stronger.

Anybody who shares the same ring as Amir looks stronger by default.

Either Algieiri has improved or Khan is just not that great.

Combination of both for me.

[hectari]

eh I always knew he was good. He showed tonight that he is versatile, he became a legit pressure fighter with good ability to cut the ring off, probably the best int he game, every time he cut the ring off on Khan, Khan clinched because he panicked. You can tell when someone is good at cutting the ring off when they start clinching you to get out.

I had Algieri winning, but I thought they would at least score it a draw to be fair. I knew Khan would get the decision though.

Depends how you're asking the question. . . He is better now than he was prior to switching trainers. Most people here can agree that, but off the backfoot pre Khan show I think he was pretty poor.

[soul_survivor]

Or maybe it was uninspiring stuff from Khan.

But I mean come on, people were mocking for losing to the second best fighter of this era. He beat Provodnikov with one eye so he won't fear anyone and now that he's got a trainer, I can see him being a top 10 guy. Very good performance, tough kid and he earned my respect, I had it 116-112 Khan. Not the best performance from Khan but he won the rounds.

P.S. And please don't even try and claim that Algieri won.

I'm a Khan fan but I had ALgieri winning, I can see a close win for Khan in there but 116-112 is ridiculous. Neither guy dominated, there were so many close rounds and Khan moved a lot but didn't throw effectively when Algieri was being the aggressor. Really surprised by ALgieri's change in style but it seemed to work, he landed at will with that fight hand and at times left hook. If only he had more power.

Algieri usualy fights on the backfoot. the way he fought tonight threw khan off. great fight plan.
took khan a while to adjust.

had it khan 115-113

same score. as much as i hate khan i still thought he won. but he was still pathetic and doesnt deserve a pac or mayweather fight.

to add to his performance, this is his first time fighting with this style, making it even more impressive.

I've only watched Algieri a handful of times but he looked like a different fighter from the guy I seen before.

The gameplan from JDJ was solid from mixing the Danny Garcia (throw Sunday punches with Khan when he throws) and Peterson who was roughing him up on the inside.

And it's not just about the chin, he was walking through Khans punches who is a decent puncher like nothing. Maybe it's just the air down there in Miami that has so many athletes heading down there to train.

Props to Algieri and JDJ but with all the scandals coming from Miami my inner alex jones beeps anytime I hear a fighter/athlete training there.

[alexguiness]

I actually thought Algieiri looks better fighting on the front foot...

He has a very decent chin and is pretty damn tough.

Get him on some PEDS and he will be a freak beast lol.
