Comments Thread For: Algieri Says Kickboxing Past Benefits Him as a Boxer

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Chris Algieri was a professional kickboxer before he decided to enter the realm of those paid to compete under the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.

His first fight as a pro boxer was back in 2008. He was 24 years old then, and he’s 30 now, undefeated at 19-0 with 8 knockouts and set to challenge Ruslan Provodnikov for a 140-pound world title on June 4 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Algieri sees his kickboxing past “as a benefit,” he said on a May 28 media conference call.

Don't sleep on this guy, A well conditioned athlete. If he gets past 5 he will outbox the Russian and maybe even stop him on cuts. The Russian visibly shows damage and Chris has a piston Jab...

The only way its going to help him is if he's allowed to throw a couple of head kicks at Prod.
