I love Ruslan, but this fight proves...

I agree with both of those statements; Malignaggi did not lose to Broner, at least deserved a draw. Same with Trout and Alvarez.

Trout would have won on my card if not for the round with the knockdown, which he came back and outworked Canelo in. Malignaggi clearly lost..close but clear. Algieri won 8 rounds to me even though his face was a disaster. The difference in all of these fights is a lot of Malignaggi's activity landed on Broner's guard, a lot of Trout's activity was slipped by Canelo, and most of Algieri's activity landed on Ruslan's face. That's the difference. 114-112 is the right score to me.

This fight proved that Provodnikov still doesn't use his jab on the way in, is too much of a head hunter and is also too clean of a fighter. I'm an advocate for dirtiness, just not excessive dirtiness of course but every time Algieri bended at the waist, Provodnikov should have hit him a few times behind the head. That stuff leaves you disoriented which will in turn shift the fight more towards your favor, he didn't do any of that. Had to laugh at this post, but in many ways I agree :lol1: Dirtiness is in the eye of the beholder and intentional fouls do have a place in boxing.

He should take some tips from Cotto, who is a pro at hitting behind the head. :fing02:

Boxers beat punchers, not activity fighters.

It was nothing like either of those fights, and neither of those fights are like each other. Algieri clearly beat Ruslan. Alvarez/Trout could go either way. Broner clearly beat Paulie.

The fight proved one thing, Provo is a fighter, and not a good boxer...we'll see where that takes him in his career...but you can't be champion for a long time with his style. If it was a phone booth fight Algieri would have been KOd in 1 round.

RP lost.......... RP lost. He lost because he was following this guy around without throwing many punches. This was an inexcusable lost in my eyes. For those of you thinking he would have a chance against Manny, here's your prove he'd get Rios'ed. RP is a one trick pony and no average fighter can beat Manny or Floyd. They keep trying to build these young fighters and put them in with the greats, but they would get schooled. RP, Garcia, Bradley, Maidana, are all good fighters but they cannot beat the likes of Manny or Floyd. PERIOD.

ruslan and algieri were both landing clean punches, algieri just landed way ****ing more and they had way ****ing less power people are saying he was throwing 'powder puff' shots, his shots snapped ruslans head back throughout the whole fight, they just didnt deconstruct his face like ruslan's did to algieri's eye that's the only difference, if ruslan had even a slightly less amount of power, this wouldn't have been close CompuBox numbers: Provodnikov 205 of 776 (26 percent).

What I believed earlier. Trout beat Canelo of deserved a draw due to his better punch output and activity. Malinaggi also deserved a draw or win over Broner for the same thing. Ruslan's one of my favorite fighters, but activity beat power punches tonight. I'm laughing at the people who said that Trout clearly lost, then go around and say that Algeiri clearly won. I didnt watch tonight's bum fight, but Canelo outslicked the hell out of Trout. Trout outpunched with some pitty pats later on, but most of that fight was Canelo putting on a masterclass and defensive showing. Broner beat the crap out of Paulie. Just because Paulie didnt go down dont mean he won. He got battered bro LOL

pitty pat punches that don't land clean=outboxing slick boxer survives fight=he wins/schooling

I thought Malinaggi beat Broner personally.

joe calzaghe ruined boxing

I didn't watch the fight tonight because this was just worthless mando defense night and a waste of a Saturday FN but every fight is different and CLEAN EFFECTIVE PUNCHING is what you're supposed to be basing scoring off of for the most part. ruslan and algieri were both landing clean punches, algieri just landed way ****ing more and they had way ****ing less power people are saying he was throwing 'powder puff' shots, his shots snapped ruslans head back throughout the whole fight, they just didnt deconstruct his face like ruslan's did to algieri's eye that's the only difference, if ruslan had even a slightly less amount of power, this wouldn't have been close
