i have provo winning by 2 points because of the two KDs in the first.hoookay :lol1:
I had it 115-111 Provodnikov. No way were the scorecards legit. Algieri did not win.
Algieri is garbage. His wannabe Ottke style will only work for him in NY.
the fight was just like the fraud/maidana bout.
Both provo and maidana should’ve gotten the win.
Aligeri might be the most feather fisted boxer in boxing
This ain't the amatuers, who would you of rather been at the end of the fight, thats who won this fight.
LOL @ the notion of Algieri winning the fight. Clearly clean punching, effective aggressiveness, and ring generalship are no longer a criteria when scoring a fight. It's come down to if you land more punches, no matter how soft they may be, you win. It's back to the amateur scoring criteria we go.
There is no way in hell ANY of the people claiming Algieri won can list me 8 clear rounds that he got. There is no way he won that fight, specially after getting dropped twice. I gave him 4 rounds, 5 bring as generous as one could be.
Roberry last night for the hometown amateur.
I only had Algerie winning 4 rounds as well. Pretty much the same scorecard as the judge that gave it to Ruslan. It's a shame that they gifted Algerie the win with his mediocre grazing shots.
It's a shame the Ruslan didn't stay on the body work, it was what got him the KD in the first , he really is one of the dumbest boxers around, I love him though.
Ruslan sends another guy to the hospital and earns himself another loss.
What orafice of Algerie's body isn't leaking blood today?
Eye- yes
Nose- yes
Mouth-yes
Peeing blood - yes
Rectum - yes
At least he isn't bleeding out of the ears.
SMH , Algeri won doe.
:lol1: Just noting these for future reference.

I had it a Draw, 113-113, but there were a few rounds that were close and I could have given them to Algieri.
Prov did not have a plan B, or C he did not adjust.
I had Provo winning by a point or two. No robbery though. Provo should have gone more to the body to slow Algieri down. It's his own fault the fight was so close in my opinion.
Algieri a tough kid... but Ruslan shots (albeit less frequent) no doubt had way more impact and velocity in the first half. Just because the kid gutted it out and took some hard body shots, and acclimated himself to the head shots until Prov tired, doesn't mean he's not the one who will be in the most pain for the following weeks after the clash.
Same goes for Mayweather Maidana actually.
Yes Provo clearly hurt him more. He put him down with a massive shot in round 1 and damaged the kids face pretty good. And because of that managed to land a shot here and there, few and far in between.
Call it Provo tiring or whatever makes the pill easier to swallow for you. Cause from the 2nd round onward with a damaged face Algerie controlled the lions share of the rest of the fight.
I'm still confused at where all these huge shots from provo were at? He wasn't landing like some of you seem to be suggesting.
Seriously, all those "monster" shots were hardly budging or slowing Algieri dowm...meanwhile Provodnikov is getting his head bopped around like a bobblehead doll.

does a huge shot have to be williams-martinez level to count? he wobbled algieir at least 3 or 4 times throughout the fight. you could see his legs dip and he also hurt him to the body but body punches don't count. only grazing punches count as "clean"
I only remember two flush shot landed by Ruslan,the first knockdown punch and another one at the bell. Algieri would get moved when Ruslan landed on his guard, but other than that I didn't see anything else clean. Care to pinpoint the other instances?
I thought ruslan was landing hard clean shots in the first half of the fight, he was doing some good body work, but then in the 2nd half of the fight, his body shots were rare, and he basically headhunted and seemed to gas.. but early i thought ruslan was landing the better harder shots, especially to the body
It was more than busting up his face.
At no point in the fight did Ruslan go backwards or even look like he was in trouble. Algeiri took many flush shots and appeared visibly disturbed through out the fight. Kid had tons of heart but this is the hurt game and Ruslan was never even close to being hurt or any kind of trouble, can't say that about Chris doe.

"who would you rather have been" isn't a scoring criteria, mr. kellerman
neither guy landed more effective punches than the other, as neither guy had to make any real adjustments. Algieri fought rd1-12 the exact same way, and he clearly outlanded ruslan in every round. Busting a guys face up doesn't make your punches more effective if it isn't deterring your opponent

The poll shows why there are 3 judges..
algieri clearly winning the poll 2-1 over ruslan..
Which basically means 2 out of 3 thought chris won, and if those 3 people were judges it would be a split decision win for algieri, which it was..
the 117-109 ruslan card was horrible... There is no way ruslan won it that wide..
I had it 6 rounds apiece with the knockdowns giving a slight edge to ruslan, alot of close rounds early and middle of the fight, but 2nd half algieri dominated...
Ruslan had no explosiveness after 5 rounds and basically just plodded in and got tagged by algieri... Great win for chris

What fight was every one watching? Algieri showed tons of heart but after every round you have to ask your self, who would you rather have been? Who landed the more significant meaningful punches?
Yes Algeiri threw a ton of punches and landed more but at any point in the fight, did you feel like Ruslan was in trouble? Did the arm punches ever stop Ruslan from coming forward? Both guys fought a hell of a fight but Ruslan was the clear winner in my eyes.
