    I don't see this as controversial at all. Algieri fought great and made it competitive. But Khan clearly won between 7 and 9 rounds. People are just hating on Khan for a disappointing performance. But objectively speaking, I'm shocked people think Algieri won.

    It was a razor tight fight with Algieri being the aggressor and landing the more telling blows Khan being at times the better boxer perhaps landing more very interesting.

    I think Algieri has exposed Khan to some extent. It's a shame he didn't stay at light welter weight. Algieri could have been very good at that weight.

    I can see 115-113 all the way to 117-111 for Khan. But Algieri winning? No way

    No way did Khan win 117-111. I felt Algieri pretty clearly won 3 out of the first 5.

    Algieri won or at least it should be a draw.

    This fight was razor close. 115-113 either way or draw, no problem. But 117-111? Please.

    I am not the only one who thought Pac won. And you are a Floyd lover.

    People who say Khan still clearly won are delusional. I had it a draw and I can see it either way, but to say it was a clear win for Khan is pathetic. Algieri landed just about as many punches as Khan, threw quite a few more, pressed the action, and landed the harder shots.

    Obviously I have to go back and watch it round by round more closely to be exactly sure what the score should be, but a close decision for either fighter is acceptable.
