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

[KRITKL]

Don't do it for this fight mathed.

Algeri is not natural at all. His head movement is not subtle whatsoever. And he says he boxes but he does go on the inside sometimes not to mention he doesn't have great power.

This is a fight where Algeri takes a lot of punches

That's what I'm saying jas.
Watched the ESPN fight he had. He boxed well, but Ruslan is a different animal.

A Rigondeaux fight thread would have more comments on it at this point... I would love to see provodnikov's ratings against the bum he's fighting.

This will be a closer fight than many people think.........

I got Provo by UD. If Algeiri moves around he will go all 12 but lose.

Went on Twitter and saw that Glaser is picking Algieri. Dude hasn't been wrong about anything lately...


I still can't go against Ruslan right now. I said before this won't be a walk in the park for him and still feel like that. I think he wins though with Algieri surviving like Fonfara did against Stevenson

[SeekDaGreat]

I like Provo by skull concave'ment.

[Hougigo]

I got Provo by KO, but it all really depends on how Aligiri moves and if he can avoid Provo cutting him down

[Kuyukut]

Here's Algieri's fight with Emmanuel Taylor.

[jas]

this is a complete mismatch, algeri has 0 chance.

i think algeiri gonna take this on points, he does alot of veteran moves like tieing up his opponent when hes in danger and has pretty sound footwork and good punch output to discourage provodnikov imo. I think he might shock alot of people in this fight, just depends how good his chin is also, iv seen him kod in kickboxing from a punch but it looked like a ****** amatuer mistake by algeiri. Algeiri on points, possibly wide for me.
