I think you need to watch that Garcia fight again.Schooling is an exageration. The writing was on the wall in that fight, Khan was getting caught and was a classic example of timing beating speed.

Yep, the traps were being laid all day long.

Malignaggi out of the undercard:

Is Spike a website, or is it a channel on the Sky platform?

New 'Mans' channel on Sky. If you know how to add channels you can get the freq code online. If not, pm me and il talk you through it.
Or if you have a FTA box, a simple scan will get it.

You sure about that?
The only boxing on Friday nights listings is Rocky Balboa followed by tellyshopping.
It's seems it's fta on Spike in the usa but BoxNation have exclusive rights in the UK.

Ill check again. Spike TV listing on channel5 site are bad. Found a site that has full listings but as Lolie says, that could be American Spike

BoxNation have this listed at 1000 hrs Saturday. That wouldn't be live then?

The site has it listed for 0200 hrs Saturday. Ok, it must be an error on the shy schedule on the box.

Edit: It is listed on the Sky planner/schedule as 0200 hrs Saturday. Yes.

Yeah on tonight/tomorrow morning...same as a Saturday night fight in the US just on a Friday and a little earlier.

I am intrigued to see any improvement in Algieri now that he actually has a trainer now. Still think Khan decisions him easily... Nine rounds to three type of stuff. Would love if Algieri miraculously knocked Khan down in the first or second to put pressure on Khan to fight aggressively.

Only half watching this Fortuna/Vasquez fight on the undercard but they both seem to be going right at it.

Their going at it alright. They don't care about defense both with hands down and throwing from the hips

Chrissybhoy

Draw after 4 I have it

I may be a novice boxing fan but there is no way this fight is as one sided as box nation are making out?

how have you scored it?

Haven't scored it tbh but I have Khan winning but Algieri has done more than boxnation made out imo.

Chrissybhoy

Khan won by 2 for me

x PyRo

Really enjoyed that. Algieri is such an admirable fellow, pity he doesn't have more power.

Khan probably wins by a few rounds.

Chrissybhoy

Amazed how he kept getting hit with the same shots when you could see them coming a mile away. I reckon Kell Brook will be way more impressive tomorrow night

I think that performance might actually enhance his chance of getting a Mayweather fight.

Mayweather is not ducking him I don't care what anyone says Khan is average

Mayweather's not going to fight anyone who might beat him at this stage, he took 5 years to make sure Pac wasn't up to the job anymore and there's as much chance of him fighting me as there is of him fighting Golovkin or Khan. Two bums then 50-0, can't say I blame him, Vegas will have his money by the time he's 50. Cert.

I don't see him going broke, I think he's too smart for that.

Khan isn't top tier. Never will be. He simply isn't smart enough.

What do you mean by top tier? Does top tier mean Floyd only?

Floyd is out on his own but there's a fear ahead of Khan IMO pacquiao brook Thurman Garcia Bradley all of them beat khan

Not at all.

at the very least, Pacquiao, Brook and Bradley beat him IMO.

Think Khan would be slight favourite against Bradley or Brook. Hard to know how he'd fair against Pac. Outside of Mayweather (and perhaps even including Mayweather) I think Khan gives anybody at 147 a decent scrap. Shame he's not as explosive and exciting as he was a few years back but then again for his own sake it's probably best that Hunter refined him and improved his defence.

After watching it there. So much for looking better than Pacman did.

On a side note I wudn't like to get on the wrong side of Virgil Hunter. At one stage between rounds he was giving Khan some strong words

Khan didn't seem to be listening to him, he had to shout his name at him repeatedly to get his attention.

SHOVELLER

Didnt make the fight despite being in the city but from watching the whole fight on youtube it looked very enjoyable and close.

Impressed by Algieri's pressure to force the fight and getting in Khan's face. Shame he doesnt have the power but overall Khan had the experience (running and grabbing) but it was a close one.

Khan has the talent but after leaving Roach? This guy Hunter was telling him at the end of Round 11 that he had won every round!

I just cannot see how Mayweather would lose to Khan as he is so hittable.
