There's no way Algieri won that fight

[RetroSpeed05]

You guys are talking like Provodnikov landed more shots. He didn't. He just consistently walked forward while Algieri consistently moved backward. Some people never get over the "he's running away!" thing.

This^^^ It's like people think Ruslan was landing when all he did was walking forward, in some instances kept getting his head popping back. Of course HBO says nothing when Algieri lands. Even when Ruslan got Algieri on the ropes, he did a good job smothering his punches or clinching and pivoting out the way. Even in compubox, when so many like to bring up when its in favor of there fighter, they can't Algieri won in every category including POWER PUNCHES.

Algieri is Maidanas sparing partner, and it helped him in this fight

The name of the game is boxing and you use every tool you have. The one who hits more shots and gets hit by less shots wins a round as long as he is not knocked down. Other things come in defence, ring generalship etc. If you want to use power as strategy then knock the opponent out or down otherwise you lose the round. A fight is 12 different little fights and the one who wins more of those little fights (called rounds) wins the fight. Sadly many fans just want to see a slugger and you forget this is called boxing. This is the best score we have seen in years.
