12 Rounds of Christmas: Khan vs Algieri - Round 8

Round 8 showcases Amir Khan and Chris Algieri from their 147-pound battle on May 29 in Brooklyn, New York. First, a spoiler alert: Neither Khan nor Algieri hit the deck in this round. Actually, with the exception of one crisp power shot that Algieri landed flush to Khan’s jaw early on, neither fighter was genuinely hurt. Rather, what Khan and Algieri prove over the course of three minutes is that you can have a beautiful round of boxing without a bevy of head-swiveling, knee-buckling punches. Purists
