You put this fight up against Chavez-Vera 1, even though there were no knockdowns and Chavez didn't damage Vera like Ruslan damaged Algieri, yet Chavez got the decision there. Boxing has no standard - it's all subjective.

The difference is chavez vera 1 was a 10 round fight where this one was a 12 round fight, algieri negated that 10-7 first round with beautiful boxing. Skills that you dont appreciate obviously becuz you had the brawler winning, just like you thought mathysse was gonna whoop garcia and marquez was gonna whoop bradley and maidana was gonna beat the "boring" floyd mayweather! All boxers who beat the brawlers!! I bet you thought martinez was going to beat cotto too huh?

No wonder you have red k, react on emotion and make up fantasies. You'd think you would learn but I think it's beyond your grasp.

It was a big reason. From rounds 2-12 Ruslan got outboxed, outworked and outfought.

114-112 Algeiri is the correct score.

The only thing that was badly damaged from the first round was his eye. He had blood from his nose and mouth in pretty much all the rounds after the first. Prov got outboxed but he most certainly was not outfought. Algieri looked like he came out of the meat grinder after the fight and Prov who is known to bruise easily was relatively clean.

For all the people saying the judges cards was fixed answer me this. Why would Arum want Provo to lose if he was so big on setting up a fight with Pacquiao and HBO had so much invested in him?

117-109 scorecard was awful and the worst card i have seen since canelo's draw with floyd...

Algieri dominated the 2nd half of the fight and nearly swept all those rounds..

Dude you know i can archive that shiat right??? You dont remember me and you feuding over mathyzse vs gRcia and marauez vs bradley??

Please waste your time and look. You've got me confused for someone else - I called Bradley-Marquez before it was even made. The only thing that shocked me about that fight was the fact that Bradley took his foot off the gas - every time he stepped it up, he hurt Marquez. I've always said Garcia-Matthysse is a close fight. Now go look.

On Saturday night, undefeated Chris Algieri (20-0, 8KOs) secured the biggest win of his career. Algieri got up from two knockdowns in the first round, and overcame a closed right eye, to win a twelve round split decision over heavily favored Ruslan "Siberian Rocky" Provodnikov to capture the WBO junior welterweight championship in an HBO televised main event from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Two judges scored 114-112 for Algieri and the third had it 117-109 for Provodnikov.

From what I've read most say Prod won round 12? One judge must not've thought so
