Algieri said in an interview i heard that he's down for the rematch but he's not sure if Ruslan really wants it. Plus he says that Team Prov requested the smallest possible ring for the first fight and they chose the location but in the rematch, as the champ, Algieri will use a championship size ring which means that he'll beat Ruslan even easier than he did the first time!
Chris was only asking for the standard 20 x 20 ring that is at all of our gyms and is used in almost every fight. TR pulled a fast one on Algieri and set-up a 18 X 18 ring used pretty much only in HW main events. By the time Algeiri's people measured it, it was "do you want that $ 100k for a title shot or not?"
Algeiri seized the opportunity and became a world champ. :boxing::boxing::boxing:
Top rank never pulls fast ones on people doe.
Agreed, Algieri would win even easier the 2nd time around imo

Algieri is th3e superior fighter. People are in love with Porvo;s power, wich is the only thing he has. take that power away, he is done!
Algieri by wide UD.
If they have a rematch it will be a bigger ring. They used a small ring to try and protect Ruslan. He wont be able to demand such a ring in a rematch .
Championship size ring sounds like whatever the champion decides he wants it to be then. If it's a pressure fighter champion he will demand a ring to suit his style.. If it's a boxer/mover, he will get a ring with room to dance around. Semantics games aside.. Algieri wants a bigger ring.. period. He wants every advantage he can get in a rematch. And is bragging about getting the handicap.
He drew Ruslan....
And he seems to be pushing for a bigger ring so where am I offbase? Asthma. Check. Inhaler. Check.

He needs a bigger ring to win? He already won in the smaller ring , and is just stating he will win easier in a bigger ring. You take his words and turn them into whatever you warped mind comes up with.

Not good to brag about how you need larger ring size...it's like a kid with asthma bragging about how he needs an inhaler.

My personal opinion is Provo should go back to 147, he doesn't have that same sting at 140.
If the fight does get made though I don't expect Provo to change allot and go headhunting again.
And as for who at 140 beats Algieri?
Lamont Cheaterson
Lucas Matthysse
John Molina
Mauricio Herrera
And Viktor "Pew Pew" Pistol
