BROOKLYN - Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike returned to Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Friday night with another explosive night of bouts for fight fans. In the main event, Amir "King" Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) scored a crafty and hard fought unanimous decision over Chris Algieri (20-2, 8 KOs) and Javier Fortuna (28-0-1, 20 KOs) won a crowd-pleasing unanimous decision victory over Bryan Vasquez (34-2, 18 KOs) in the televised opener.
Below are comments made by the televised fighters after their performances tonight:
CHRIS ALGIERI
"I thought I pressured Khan well and got my touches. He definitely didn't like it when I got into his body.
"I thought I hurt him several times, but Khan's a cagey fighter and he spins off. I guess the judges liked that tonight. I would think the cleaner, harder shots would get a little more respect.
"I think PBC is fantastic. The focus is on the fighters, not the politics or the promoters. This is helping bring the sport back to boxing's glory days of primetime events for the fans.
"I haven't thought much about after this fight. I'm disappointed, but I'll watch the film from this fight and we'll go from there."
