Amir Khan v Chris Algieri - Box Nation

[Gandalf]

Well, I am scoring that a draw because I can. I saw similar levels of performance over the 12. Better punches from Algieri, Khan a little more active. That makes Manny Pac look a little bit better. Khan should probably rematch Garcia and Maidana before getting his pay day. He doesn't deserve it after that, though ironically it will probably give him the fight.

[sanatogen]

Yes, Khans performance ccould tempt Myweather

[Gandalf]

Bad scorecards, but you kind of expect it. The audience should deal with the judges. What language is Amir speaking?

[Gandalf]

Oh I jest! Still, a pretty good fight. Tough on Algieri though.

[ono]

I think Khan had a lot of momentum after the Alexander performance but I think he has lost some now. It was an ok performance. I think he doesn't land cleanly enough considering how fast his hands are. I watch that and struggle to see how he gives Mayweather any major problems.

[Primo Carnera]

Forget about whether this performance affects his chances of a Mayweather fight, this performance jeapordises a Pacquiao fight! Algieri is a decent fighter with a good attitude , but let's not forget Manny the midget had him on the floor 6 times and WON EVERY ROUND! Provodnikov dropped him twice at the weight below.
Khan has lovely footwork, but he doesn't have enough power at this weight to keep the top fighters honest. Also , if he gets hit that often by Algieri, better fighters will be all over him and his chin will be an issue for the rest of his career . These aren't exactly credentials that make him worthy of Floyd's last fight.
Finally, if Floyd "runs" , what the fuck does Khan do?

[Fenster]

To be fair nobody could have predicted Algieri would adopt those tactics - credit for the trainer switch to Jackson. I was still surprised going into the 4th round so fuck knows what Khan was thinking. Khan being shorter with an inferior reach and blurring speed advantage was a factor too. Thought he won but close fight.

Don't care whether he fights Floyd or not - but that chin is never getting through 12 rounds against Brook or Thurman. He would never be able to keep Porter off either.

[Manos de Piedra]

Enjoyed that scrap last night and wasn't expecting that from Algieri. Algieri is an underrated fighter and I think he can hold his own against the top guys a WW but Khan on the other hand was lucky that he wasn't in there with a half decent puncher or else it was night night. I thought Khan squeaked out the win though. Not as wide as the 117 111 scorecard.

Khan did admit that they were surprised by the Algieri fight plan (...should they have been?), and it took them a few rounds to get back on track. Apparently they don't do a lot of 'what iffing' in a Hunter camp. Look, everyone talks like they're a genius in hindsight (yeah I'm talking about me too), but shouldn't you have a backup plan? What if he does this or what if he does that?
Khan's surprise made for a very entertaining fight.

[Spicoli]

I do not think Khan gets through repeated right hand shots of Mayweather. The frequency of Algieri's right and effect was surprising..and he needed nothing at all to set it up.

[Truth]

Khan is getting knocked out by a Mayweather right hand if they fight. If Algieri has any power he would have finished him tonight with one of those overhand rights.

[IamInuit]

Mayweather is not fighting Khan. Nothing has changed. Floyd could not walk down a gopher. What Chris did has absolutely nothing to do with a Floyd fight. It should not surprise people that Khan had issues with the swarming. A Floyd fight will look nothing like this and Floyd knows this. Styles make fights

Khan gets wobbled when he stubs his toe, is open to rights and Mayweather is ten times the thinker and sharper hitter than Algieri. He'd chicken wing shoulder bully block and counter before he even reset. Khan is a very uncertain guy at times. And Floyds a cunt. I know

[sanatogen]

With regards to Mayweather, I'd say Its more what Amir brought to the table this time as opposed to type of fight we saw.

[Truth]

Floyd walked down Cotto and Mosley.
