Just watched Khan-Algieri

Firstly thought Khan won, and fairly clearly even though 117-111 was being generous to Khan, but 115-113 was fine, even 116-112 wasn't ridiculous.

What surprised me most was Algieri. He really is a lot better than I thought he was.
I was one of the people who thought Khan would win every round in a lopsided fight.

Kudos to Chris! Maybe he did just need to be left out of his cage all along!

 

Khan made Algieri look good. As much as I like come forward fighters, there's nothing special about Algieri, except perhaps a few not-so-rare qualities as stamina, persistence etc. If Provodnikov was an American or Algieri didn't have a 0 to be protected, he'd lose that fight too and we'd never even hear his name again. He made a small fortune with his last 2 fights, I hope he becomes successful in life, but this is even farther than as far as he could go. He can be a nice come-back opponent for the Broner/Porter loser, but that's about it.

 

Algieri is not a come-forward fighter by nature. I do think he is a good fighter, also have no real problem with a 7-5 score for Khan (anything 7-5 to 5-7 is fine IMO it was a close fight)

But hopefully any talk of Floyd-Khan ends. Floyd isn't a huge puncher either, but he is more accurate and sharper with his shots.. and I doubt Khan sees the 6th round against Floyd, it would be lopsided.

 

:yep
I told you so i was always right about him :hi:

 

now now don't take all the credit I been telling folks as well

 

Everyone called him a bum after Pac destroyed him easy but i made threads and said he would prove to be a top fighter:yep

 

I did :blurp

 

Nope lets just say we are equal on this:yep

 

If he had had JDJ for his trainer for the past 3 fights, he might have given PAC a run, and would almost certainly have beat Khan easily IMO.

 

If he came out of the cage earlier against Pac he would of got knocked out

Difference why he could fight like that against khan is because he doesn't punch nowhere as near as hard as pac

 

He just lost to khan, who you described as a 'glass jawed joke, disgrace, bum' when it looked like he might fight floyd, so how can he be any good? You're being a hypocrite again.
