BROOKLYN - Bill "Two Scoops" Emes catches up with Joe DeGuardia, promoter of former WBO junior welterweight champion Chris Algieri (20-2, 8 KOs), to discuss the twelve round decision loss to Amir "King" Khan (31-3, 19 KOs), as Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike returned to Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Friday night.
The Briton won by 117-111 on two cards and by 115-113 on the third. Algieri lost for the second time in a row. In November last year he failed to beat Manny Pacquiao, who lost to Mayweather in boxing's richest fight earlier this month.
The 28-year-old former Olympic Games silver medallist kept Algieri, 31, at bay much of the night, but Algieri landed a strong combination early in the eighth round. Khan said support from the crowd helped him push to the finish and secure the decision. Algieri did land many telling blows but was unable to match the Briton’s hand speed and work rate in an entertaining fight. [Click Here To Read More]
