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

Jim Lampley? He's the biggest nut hugger only second to Ronnie Nathanielsz.

Ok, how is he a nut hugger? Is it that you think he sides with whomever HBO wants to market? Elaborate red boy.

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

I like Ruslan, but that is fantastic.

The problem is you dont know how to score.

Keep your opinion to yourself.

ESPN, Weisfeld, Lampley and one of the judges saw it my way so I don't think I'm too off base here.

Ooops...........

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

Ooops...........

Weisfeld is terrible at scoring and doesn't belong on tv or radio.Two judges and Ward saw Ruslan losing.

I saw that this article was pasted up as the headliner, probably by mistake, since the fight is over a week old. But, what is this:

Algieri - a college-educated clinical nutritionsist who has a boxer a huge draw in his hometown of Huntington (Long Island), New York - reportedly sold roughly $100,000 worth of tickets. The efforts truly earned his paycheck, receiving by far the biggest payday of his career for his first title shot, with his family and friends making the hour-long trek from Suffolk County for his first major title shot.

That is illegible writing. Step your game up, Jake.
