Had it for Ruslan, but it depended on what you were looking for.

cant believe algieri pulled it off today, won big on him too in my bet

From the scores the 2 judges 4 Algieri scored 10-8 for 2 kd's not the accepted 10-7...DeLuca is s WBC judge & gave Ruslan 9 rounds & had it 10-8. 4 1st round...I had it 8-4 ;4 the loser...his heavier punching offset the volume,IMO...

No that's wrong. 8-4 is 116-112. But Algeiri got dropped 2x so he lost 2 points. 114-112.

What a ****** thing to say...Freddie told ruslan in many occasions to throw the uppercut, but he never did. Wtf do u want Freddie to jump in the ring & throw it for him. Roach is one of the best ever & a hall of famer.

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.

anyone interested in Marquez - Provodnikov still?

Imagine if it was Marquez in there doing this instead? People would be going absolutely bonkers about roid claims. "Marquez could never beat Prov without roods, impossible! Most roided fighter in history."

Yet some unknown guy comes in that didn't even start boxing properly until 23, outboxes the ****e out of Prov, and all is good. Funny what can happen. He gets shown up by an unknown, inexperienced boxer with no power whatsoever in his first title shot, and first step up in competition, yet if Marquez had beaten him, it could only have been roids.

Just shows you what hype does.

Wonder what kind of excuse roachy will have

Same one he always does. "Ruslan didn't follow my wonderful gameplan."

Is this pile on Freddie Roach time because you don't like Freddie Roach? Grow the phukk up. Where were you when Pacquiao was beating down Bradley, Cotto was knocking out Sergio, the end of round one after Provo dropped Algie twice? Where were u then, if the bathroom punching out the clown?? STFU on Freddie Roach bashing. Provo gave Algie the beating of his life, and just like the Bradley fight, Provo got screwed.

This. Roach was telling him the right instructions but Ruslan wasn't following them.
