    Boxing on Spike tonight. Huge dog has a shot ?

    Local fighter at Barclays Center.. Chris Algieri vs Amir Khan.
    Algieri has never been knocked out. His last fight was vs. Pacquiao,
    who knocked him down 6 times but the kid got up and fought every time
    to lose in decision. Khan has been knocked out twice, and is the prohibitive
    favorite to win this and move on to his dream of fighting Floyd Mayweather.

    I'm on Over 9.5 Rounds (-140) to back up Algieri +1050.

    This fight should be better than Manny/Floyd... they say Khan has a glass chin.
    Algieri is not known for his power and is questionable how much he will really hurt
    Khan but perhaps if it goes to decision anything can happen at these odds.

    His defense got better and he hasn't gotten knocked out after he left Freddie Roach if I remember correctly

    Khan wins. Algieri doesn't carry the punch needed to ko khan. I think speed will ultimately do in Algieri. The over seems like a safe bet but it makes me leery that its priced so low. -140 when this seems like an easy decision fight....regardless i got khan dec. Gl tho

    Khan by decision is fine with me, just added to Over 9.5.
    If Algieri pulls the upset that would be great but it's unlikely
    I dunno just spent an hour thinking about it and watching you tube stuff.
    If Manny can't KO Chris, why would Khan ?
    Seems to me Chris is underpriced but I suppose that's part of the Floyd is nextpectations.

    The Over being so low just has to be connected to the fact that Khan is like -1600.

    I'm not sure who will win this war but the money is way overpriced on Amir Khan. A small bet on Algeri and the tie would make more sense given the odds.

    Exactly. Khan's weak chin is always a big risk for him
