    Pretty boring fight. I wouldn't over fault Khan. He was facing a MW really. Khan hasn't the real pop to do impressive numbers on boxers. Khan's physical advantages were gone in this fight. His only real advantage was his hand speed. I thought Khan did show inside improvements. Bit more willing to actually fight on the inside rather than clam up and hold. Algieri is just very hard to warm too. Ridiculously monotonous.

    Algieri is very durable, we knew that from his previous couple of fights at this level. Khan did seem to struggle at times, he seems to run out of ideas when his superior hand speed doesn't overwhelm his opponents.

    i'm not sure how Khan's pursuit of Mayweather will be affected by this fight. Surely "Money" might see another easy win.

    I don't see any difference in how I view a Khan-Floyd fight based off the Algieri performance. It's chalk and cheese. Styles!

    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

    Looks like they'll be showing some decent boxing after all.
    Just noticed on the listings a few nights ago that the Lara v Rodriguez tonight on Spike is live on Spike UK tonight aswell from 2-4 am, they'll prob show the Beterbiev fight live to.
