Chris Algieri knocked out...........Kick Boxing!

[HanzGruber]

Ruslan is not hype. He was a dude with no name who earned his respect by being in Fight of the Year in his first World Title fight.

I know. He's trying to pretend like ruslan is hyped up and how he hasn't beaten anyone. But he's a Lucas homer which makes t hilariously ironic

People are too quick to dismiss unknowns/ESPN fighters. Remember when Ruslan went from ESPN to fighting Bradley and nobody gave him a shot cause of it? But we all know what happened.

Good point. This is true.


Some people dismiss them automatically, so they can dismiss the guy who beats them if they do

[Box-Office]

Anybody who gets clipped on the chin can be knocked down. Algieri was 20-0 as a pro kickboxer in sanctioned events including 2 world titles. This wasn't a sanctioned kickboxing event anyway...was some form of tournament. Algieri rematched this guy in a sanctioned bout and beat his ass.

This was under the World Combat League, which was sanctioned under ISKA kickboxing body that also sanctions K1 and Glory kickboxing and was a proper kickboxing promotion with rules. Also I doubt unsanctioned fights would qualify for a TV deal with Versus.

I might be mistaken but wasn't Vitali Kod by a leg kick in kickboxing?

He was. But I didn't know how Algieri was KOed.

Good point. This is true.

They just don't take the time study these guys.
"Oh he's an ESPN fighter."

I was one of the few saying Fonfara was gonna give Stevenson a fight. There was only a handful saying the same, if that.

against a guy who's about pacquiao's height and can get the same sort of leverage..

[Ruthless One]

Algieri was lighting him up and was winning until he ate a huge uppercut near the end. Then a weaker punch afterwards sealed the deal and completely took away his balance. The entire match was fun to watch.

[Kneeguel Cotto]

Even back then Algeri was thick, solid, and tight.

He should bring the cornrows back, that sexy mfer.

Algieri's got the beef action going on. Athletes these days be on that TRT but Algieri's all TST (thick, solid, tight).

I forgot to mention his dreamy hazel eyes. Guy really has it all. I can't even imagine what kind of heat he's packing below the belt.

OK fellas you're a message therapist who would you rather walks in and asks for THE WORKS Algieri or a prime Martinez?
