Comments Thread For: Chris Algieri: This is a Dangerous Fight For Provodnikov

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Chris Algieri is a positive person.

He rarely delves into the negative, forever channeling a confident and optimistic demeanor. Those are the same vibes he releases in the videos he posts of himself on YouTube touting his “Champion Lifestyle.”

Yet when the location of his June 14 title fight was switched from his hometown of Long Island to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Algieri briefly departed from his upbeat ways.

He imagined fighting more than just WBO junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov, who’s earned the reputation as one of the sport’s most avoided fighters because of his pounding style. [Click Here To Read More]

To those who've watched him - is Algieri anything like Herrera?

Chris is going down in 3 rounds

You really gotta dig deep to beat Provo. He's gonna be in front of you all night. If you don't break down mentally, you may break down physically.

Provo Sparred A 1000 Rds With Pacquiao, Train Wrecked Bradley; No Concerns With Algie

Who writes this stuff? Did Algie really support this column? This positive speaking tomato can is hardly a concern to Provo. Marquez, Rios, Danny Garcia, Amir Khan.. None want to fight Provo. Algie is going to find out why. It doesn't matter where they hold the fight; have it in Algie's kitchen. Provo went to Denver and dismantled Alvarado in his own backyard. Judges, location, won't matter; what's important is Algie making a call in advance for a reservation at a nearby hospital.

Provo's a beast, and Algieri is not, judging from his 8 KOs in 19 fights. Provo should destroy him.

I think Provo takes him through a hard tough 12 rounds, Chris can fight too, if he gets over pressured though I can see the ref stopping this.

Anyone of you guys who are counting out Algieri ever seen him fight?

Are you guys taking into account his size, height and reach advantage? He's also got a good jab and isn't a bad boxer. He does like to come inside some times tho. Might wanna stay outside vs Provodnikov.

I think Provodnikov is listed at 5'6" but I think he looked shorter than Bradley if I remember correctly?

I know Chris is a great fighter, but this is Provodnikov he's up against. I just can't see any other outcome except Ruslan backing him into the ropes and hurting him badly. It's like he's got energizer batteries in him. He's a monster in there.
