This fight..........isn't half bad. The way Algeri has been fighting lately is entertaining as hell.
and if he chooses to fight like that with Berto he may have another 6 knockdown type fight, but Berto being Berto may get dropped a few times aswell..lol
Algieri can dance and pick his shots ..if he wants to. but since hooking up with JDJ he's willing to trade power punches..his chin is decent. .i slightly favor him to out-scrap Berto.
Pretty much the way I see it too. :boxing:
I'll take Chris in this fight. Berto hasn't been the same since those shoulder surgeries, he doesn't have the same upper body movement and seems to have lost the explosiveness he once had
not really answering the thread, but just a thought
If the card ends up looking like things are sounding (Garcia-Thurman, Berto-Algieri as the TV co-feature, Erickson Lubin in a WBC 154lb eliminator, Lou DiBella leading the show likely putting his fighters on the bill, etc), the timing of things starts to get real interesting.
Garcia-Thurman, happening two weeks before the Golovkin fight, is going to take up a ton of the energy in NYC (card for card, the rumored Showtime/CBS tripleheader is arguably the better televised fight card ).
Daniel Jacobs, no different than in Andre Ward's situation (though the money is likely different), likely got his money as a fee on the front end, only getting cut in on any of the other money if the event is a massive success.
With K2 needing the event to be a success (to cover the costs and pay everyone, but mainly to justify getting a piece of the entire event in the discussions with Saul Alvarez), having a competing company deliver a stacked card (likely on CBS and in primetime) within weeks of your own event and in the same market, is a pretty cutthroat way to dry out a town/city, wouldn't you think?
Golovkin fans are going to support Golovkin, and the folks that back Jacobs are going to back their guy, but I'm not sure if the general NYC/NY-area fight fan is going to dig into their pocket to buy tickets to both Garcia-Thurman and Golovkin-Jacobs (especially knowing that Garcia-Thurman, no different than Jacobs-Quillin, likely will have the tickets priced $500-$50 and that the fan at home can tune into the fight and not have to pay extra).
will be interesting

I never trust Berto vs any decent opponents because he's just not a smart fighter at all.
And that fcking ridiculous Philly shell he still tries to pull off. Every black fighter in the country thinks they are Floyd, stop that crap.
Lmfao! Guess they think it comes naturally to black dudes.
