AMIR KHAN
"I thought I worked well inside. I've never done a lot of work in the pocket like that and I plan to do more of that in the future.
"I give Chris a lot of credit. He came forward a lot more than we thought he would and he had a big chin tonight.
"Chris gave it his all tonight. This is the best Algieri we've seen in a long time, and if he'd have fought Manny (Pacquiao) that way he might have won.
"Everyone knows I want Floyd (Mayweather) next after all the talk about it, but when you wait and hope for something for this long it can set you back. I don't want to overlook any other fighters, including Chris.
"My first show with PBC has been great. The New York crowd was awesome and really got into it. The promotion was excellent and I'm proud to be a part of this team."
