The Official Ruslan Provodnikov vs. Chris Algieri Master Discussion Thread.

[El Angel]

my prediction record when ive gone back and watched fights is impeccable

Soo what happened last week?

[CubanBox]

Also once Ruslan knocks out Algieri we won't have to listen to him and his fugly crackhead trainer saying "master boxer " every three seconds.

[SlySlickSmooth]

I expect this fight to be basically over by the fourth

[Sugar Adam Ali]

If algieri can use lateral movement and work off the jab he has a chance, but I don't think he has the power to keep ruslan off him, and ruslan should walk him down and stop him around the 7th

Soo what happened last week?

What you mean?

I clearly didn't make a pick. And these were my posts anyway....but I didn't bet the fight....and I've said the play in this fight is Ruslan via ko at slightly better than 1/2 odds

Stop being butthurt that I compared you to being a fl0mo

[BattleAxePurist]

First third of the fight Algieri uses his left hand jab/hooks along with good movement to outpoint Ruslan early.

Second third Ruslan starts to amp up the pressure with power combos/counter rights over the top while Algieri still has spots starts to mark up his foe but leaves holes in his defense.

Last third Ruslan after chip chopping away hurts his taller opponent with a right hand finishes Algieri while being down on the cards. Further adding to the legacy of the Mansi Madman.

ill be there

ruslan gonna wash him but im pullin for algeri !

[PACnPBFsuck]

Algieri's 1-2 in a gonna be huge factor in this fight

[Bushidō]

I think Algieri has a shot. I wouldn't sleep on him. He's long and pretty tough and can box a bit. His chin hasn't truly been tested and there's a video of him getting knocked out in a kickboxing event.

We all know Ruslan is a beast and has improved a lot since he got with Freddie Roach but I have a sneaky su****ion that Algieri makes this a close fight and has a chance to escape with a decision.

10 to 1 in your favour if any outcome other than RUSLAN via stoppage over Algeri:
