Amir Khan v Chris Algieri - Box Nation

[Gandalf]

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

The funny thing is, while Khan is holding out for Mayweather, I'm sure there's a long long line of guys salivating at the thought of getting in the ring with Khan.

Also just wanted to add that I "uh-oh'ed" as soon as the commentator mentioned that jackson was in Algeri's corner.

Based on what someone mentioned on this forum (I think it was VD) that he coaches for the knockout.

In all honesty, if I'd have known he was coach I would have thought they'd be up to some thing like the pressure they brought.

From now on, expect opponent to fight like that.

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.

Floyd has absolutely nothing to worry about after last night's performance.
