I have seen quite a few high profile fights where the fighter with most punches thrown/landed (a Mayweather fight included) did not win the fight. Provo pressed the action the entire fight. He landed the most power shots. He floored goof troop twice in the first for a 10-6 round. In return Provo got him with some solid jabs sure but the majority were a lot of pitty-pat punches while on the run. AND let me say that he took a fair amount of non-sportsman-like punches during breaks and moments where a respectable fighter would cease to stop throwing. This was a major, and I mean major robbery. Others disagree. But it's my opinion. I know HBO agrees with me..
As for Maidana, I think it was a draw. But as many commentators have mentioned in the past on more than one occasion, you have to win convincingly to de-thrown a champion. And he lost a chunk of the middle rounds. The Garcia fight in PR I didn't watch but heard it was super questionable.
If this Algeri guy, or however it's spelled, fights someone with some defense and good ring movement it's going to be an early night. #mamaguevo
