That is brilliant

I would have thought Profraudnikov would be the way to go.

Also nice

For some reason these childish names crack me up

I'm from the U.S. too and saw complete ring generalship by Chris after the 2nd round. I also heard Roach tell Provo in his corner that the fight is too close and that he is going to have to knock him out. Bad call by Roach because he was targeting the eye instead of the body. This is not Rock'em Sock'em a Robots. This is boxing, where skills pays the bills.

Provo consistently landed the harder, more meaningful shots. He came forward the whole time and was never bothered by algerei's shots. Look at provos face, normally he's all cut up or ****** up but he came away with only minor scratches while his opponent had a shut eye and busted nose the whole fight. No way he won that fight. The one judge got it right. The other two didn't.

Boxing is scored round by round not by facial damage caused in one of the 12 rounds

I scored it round by round, specifically how Provo walked through feather duster jabs and imposed himself by landing the harder, more effective punches that actually did damage.

Who cares if he walked through them? They were still landing cleanly and at a higher rate. Ruslan was getting his head boxed off

I disagree as did the hbo unofficial judge, one of the actual judges and Lampley. Good enough company for me.

I like how you mention one of the judges and not the other 2. Let me guess, only 1 was competent.....the one you agreed with

117-109 was an atrocious card and the worst of the 3

I scored it similarly. Algerei landed almost nothing of consequence.
Nowhere really to go from here.........

It was home cooking. Period. Just like Froch - Dirrell. Let me guess, you saw the boxer as the loser in that one huh?
