Am I the only one that sees value in Algieri at +1000?

    You're crazy, man, Algieri has no chance. Algieri has a chance against guys like Garcia, Matthysse, Postol, and Crawford, but Khan is all wrong for him. It's just a terrible stylistic match-up that's totally in Khan's favor.

    I believe Khans hand speed and Boxing pedigree will be too much for Algeri.

    I think most are forgetting Algieri's performance against Provodnikov, and remembering only the fight against Pac. I believe this line is indicative of it as well.

    I think Algieri fights well and probably loses a decision. But, you never know. There is value in what it now +1100.

    I bet 419 on over 9,5. Provo and Pac couldn't knock him out, why would Khan do? I did not watch too many fights of both fighters, so I can't say much about the outcome but I think the odds are too one sided for Khan. Algieri is not that bad and Khan is not that good.

    I wouldn't put any serious money on Algieri, but a small bet with those odds wouldn't be a bad deal. I think Khan destroys him because he usually feasts on lower power boxer-types, but with Khan's chin it's not out of the question that even the light punching Algieri might be able to time him just right.

    Well Algieri takes a punch a lot better but that shouldn't really come into play in this fight.

    These odds almost never pay off. You are just throwing money away. The Sharps turn a profit from all the long-shot takers to offset the long but safe odds on the favorite. If you want a chance to earn money consider taking Khan by stoppage.

    Khan shouldn't be more than a +200 favorite against anybody.

    I made bank with Lamont and Garcia.


    His odds were just ridiculous.

    Khan destroys him in 6 rds... Amir hands too fast for him and Chris doesn't do well against great speed and Amir has (arguably) faster hands than pacquiao

    I wouldn't recommend it. Algieri is definitely durable and skilled but he doesn't have the style to beat or even trouble Khan. He's getting overwhelmed by Khan's speed throughout the entire fight and will remain confused and bewildered till he loses by UD or gets stopped. Even his counters or attempts at attacks won't bother Khan much because he lacks the power to do serious damage.

    Yes. You are truly the bookies' friend.
