Comments Thread For: Algieri Climbs Off Canvas To Shock Provodnikov In Brooklyn

[racer59]

Herrera won 9-3 in my book over Garcia. Provodnikov won 115-111 here.

I agree here. Algieri reminds me of a stiff Mantecas Medina, he just doesn't have the ring generalship that a mover should have. Herrera was much better vs Garcia.

I thought Algeria won. It reminded me of the garcia herrea fight a lot but Algeria is solid better than all three. Trust me. But roach even said this would be a tough fight. He knew fight was close. Gave him the right instructions. U cant do more but Algeria was better tonight. U guys use to fighters bein fed wins so u automatically think guy is a bum. And NEW.....

Umm. Yo, Algeria is a country. It's Algieri. I though Algieri won pretty clearly. He outboxed him and out worked him. Landed cleaner shots. Ruslan doesn't win a round just cause his punches "sound harder ".

Well said, this loss is squarely on Ruslan Provdnikov's shoulders. He just lost focus and his intensity wasn't there. Roach told him the right things.

So when a Freddy Roach fighter loses its their fault, but when a Freddy Roach fighter wins its Freddy's win?

My 3 cents

$0.01 - Algieri deserved the win. He showed heart and determination while boxing well. He will be a hard one to beat for most in that division. I can only see him losing to a couple guys in fights that would likely be close.

$0.02 - Is Provodnikov is not hyped. He is what we thought he was despite this loss. He is a come forward warrior who just want's to fight but is not the most skilled. As we already knew. No big surprise that he lost a decesion to a boxer who moves a lot. I'm still willing to watch him fight though, he will be in exciting fights with 80% of the people he steps in the ring with so I'm still amped up about him.

$0.03 - This fight is a perfect example of why you should never let commentators or ringside unofficial judges scorecards effect how you perceive a fight. Iv'e been watching this sport too long for that sht. I was sitting and awaiting hearing that exact decision after the fight and was shaking my head at the unofficial judges scorecard. Knockdowns and swollen eyes don't dictate who wins a boxing match. This isn't a street fight for a girl, it's a sport and there are rules and guidelines. One of those rules are that a fight is scored round by round. The judges did a great job tonight of making the "right" decision despite what casual onlookers may feel. More decisions like this can restore our faith in the judging system as I feel too many times the bigger name gets a win based on his promoter and fighters records are tainted because of that coughdannycoughgarciacough

Man I buried Roach's ass after Pacquiao's loss to JMM. Then I realized it wasn't just his fault lol

I wonder what will he say, or how does he feel about calling Garcia names when he said Algiere stood a chance..

I think from this point on for the rest of Ruslan's career we're gonig to see brawlers and puncher opponents and no boxers or slick fighter opponents.

[jbpanama]

That's why it's called boxing, not fighting.

Gotta give the Algieri Cat Credit, Boxed Provo, with a lot of Class and Style!!!

I honestly believe that this is the most sane and relational comment, or at least one of them, that I have ever read on this forum. Thanks!
