Amir Khan Versus Chris Algieri on May 30

Amir Khan versus Chris Algieri

By Alon Calinao Dy: Amir Khan (30-1, 19 KOs), who is willing to fight Brook, has another bout against a former opponent of Manny Pacquiao and  WBO light welterweight champion Chris Algieri (20-1, 8 KOs) on May 30th in New York.  It's unclear where the venue of the fight is.

We have heard Khan who wants to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, the big names in boxing. I am sure before their match people know the winner between Mayweather and Pacquiao, and if Khan beats Algieri, can challenge the victor of this contest.

Algieri is a tough opponent when he did not quit over Pacquiao relentless attacks. He went up from several knockdowns when hard punches hit him. He holds a heart of a fearless warrior since he beat Ruslan Provodnikov, who also has amazing skills and powerful punches.

Khan has an impressive speed, but in the middle of the round I'm not sure if he can maintain that power he has. Mayweather and Pacquiao are beasts, and they become more aggressive as they get hit.

I would give Khan an advantage over Algieri, but as I said Algieri is as hard as nails. If the bout will go in a distance, it is the chance of Algieri to defeat Khan as the Briton boxer slowly fades when the fight taking longer.

I think Khan now underestimates Chris Algieri. I believe Algieri is a tougher rival than the likes of Danny Garcia, Marcos Maidana, Kell Brook, Keith Thurman, and Lucas Matthysse. So be careful, Mr. Khan. Don't take this competitor lightly.
