DeGale - Dirrell is surprisingly good

Dirrell is so frustrating. All that speed and power but he gets unsettled so easily.
But he's taken the last 3 rounds I reckon. This could be close. 13/2 on Dirrell looking slightly less foolish
3Sixty do I cash out now at 2/1?

Do you guys know if they show the early undercard online or on another channel? My cousin is one of the early fights.

Unfortunately they don't broadcast them. PBC shows are time-buys with the networks (they pay for time and then collect advertising) so they have strict broadcast limitations. And they don't show the prelims online anywhere either.
I was originally going to go the card, and that full undercard is kind of making me regret my decision. Oh well.

Wesley Ferrer. I was planning on going also, but i kept putting off buying the tix until it was too late. i might check stubhub see what prices are going for there. he was selling tix for 52 anfd 82, i should have bought them early. anyways, hoping he keeps that 0!

Khan should win easily.
Good luck to him.
Eh, maybe?
Algieri probably doesn't have the power to keep Khan honest, but I expect a solid 12 round boxing match. Their combined speed and Algieri's activity should make it entertaining.

should be a good one. remember watching the Algieri-Provodinkov fight and being really impressed with Algieri's speed and boxing skill.

Khan by KO
That Provodnikov win was his peak. He's not going to fight anyone that technically incompetent again.

I agree that Khan should take this handily. I would not be surprised if Algieri made it interesting, but I think the gap in actual boxing ability is too large.

Yeah, Khan should win no problem, but ya never know

It's more like a loss would guarantee no Mayweather fight. Many think he was already an obvious next opponent for Mayweather - he just needs to avoid losing until then.
You can't go into a fight with Floyd coming off a loss, this would give Amir a win over a Pacman opponent.

Dangerous for Khan to be trading blows. Keep your hands up ffs

I can't see Khan winning this. Chris is getting tired I think, but not enough for Khan to turn things around that much.

Algieri can barely miss with the right. He needs to be more intelligent with his pressure though, he gets alittle sloppy and Khan has caught him a few times coming forward.

This round I agree looked really good for Khan, or rather bad for Algieri. Algieri looks gassed to me.

Definitely the 7th round for Khan, made me think of Mayweather a little there.

You guys really think Khan looks good? He looks terrible to me.

Not great, but he's well ahead now

I wouldn't say well ahead. 2 rounds at the most. Floyd would eat him alive; Thurman would throw dirt on his grave.

Khan is comfortably ahead at this point, but has not been too impressive.
