    I think Chris is being sold way short in this fight.

    Algieri will probably lose but I think he'll give a spirited effort.

    I think he wins a split decision. I feel he has great heart and while Khan is the more skilled guy, I still think his chin is suspect and anything is possible. I think if Chris can box well and frustrate Khan a bit, he can pull off the upset. I can see something similar to the Prov fight happening with Khan getting to Chris early, Chris hanging in there and Khan losing momentum in the second half of the fight.

    I realize it's a longshot, but one I am willing to take given the odds value.

    This is a fight where I literally could care less who wins. Not a fan of either. But Khan should dominate.

    I don't see how anyone could like/support Khan. Only Brit****s and ****stanis support him, he's such an unlikable guy.

    He will likely get demolished

    Algieri is overrated by many here

    Completely disagree. Why, because Manny outclassed and outboxed him?

    Because he was smashed by a very faded Pacquiao

    luis collazo was wearing reyes and was suppose to KO khan

    I think he's going to have ALOT of trouble with Khans handspeed.

    Well, I for one neither like or support him or his attitude. He has such a big chip on his shoulder.

    I don't think Algieri has any chance.

    But wouldn't that be the ultimate irony if |khan was beaten by the cherry pick. :D

    What time is this on?

    BN broadcast starts at 2am it says. I thought PBC shows start earlier? The last show from the Barcelys centre came on a 1am.

    Yeah I understand that not every Brit supports him, and many dislike him for his attitude and history(look it up if you aren't aware of hit, hit and run that crippled an old man)
