Hold up...people are calling the Ruslan fight a robbery?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

It was too close to be a robbery in either direction but the judge who gave Ruslan 117 or whatever was clearly not sober.

yeah, him and the hbo scorecard were on some serious crack to justify those scores... 117-109 ruslan is the most absurd card i have seen since someone scored a draw for canelo vs floyd..

[Croyd]

They should have paid off all 3 judges instead of just the 2. Looks too obvious when your robbing a guy if one judge scores it correctly.

[tangalog2200]

The fight looked like Ruslan was winning (keyword looked) from what I seen because I was walking away from the fight constantly, I could see why people would think either fighter won. Chris went through hell that fight and deserved the W

very good to a point....

"Chris went through hell that fight and deserved the W"

looking at the other side of it, Prov deserved the W for giving Chris hell!?

real close yeah

real close yeah

you don't score blood/tissue damage, you score rounds

have you ever scored a fight before?

[Build That Wall]

LMFAO..Ruslan got his ears boxed off, looked lost and 1 dimensional the commentating was horrible and they looked crazy when Ward said Algeri was winning the fight

LOL, It's only the Pacqtards and Roachblowers that think it's a robbery.

[Derranged]

People exaggerate about how much Algieri outboxed him, and because of the knockdowns, Algieri would had to have won 8 rounds to win the fight. If he won 7 it would've been a draw and if he won 6 he would've lost. I had Prov winning 115-111.

However, a number of those rounds were tough to score and I didn't have an easy time scoring this fight.

[Weltschmerz]

This fight stinks. Make the rematch and let's get this settled. Provodnikov needs to make some adjustments with Roach and he will KO this kid no doubt. If he would of only had thrown that uppercut whilst infighting as Roach kept telling him.

[thuggery]

It'll be kinda funny when Alergei somehow ends up getting the Pac fight and it'll be back to "Ruslan was robbed!" "Pac fighting another guy coming off a loss!"

[SeekDaGreat]

Yet he did not,do you even get the concept of what boxing is??Real question..

How can you call this a cheap win??You must have never been in a fight,cause there was nothing cheap about what Algieri had to go through to get the win..Very good win for him,and nothing to be ashamed of by Prov..Great fight,why do people always feel the need to detract??

No. I don't get the concept of "real boxing" I only get the concept of "fake" boxing." Real answer....

No. I've never been in a fight, elaborate on all your fights for me while you're at it. I'm just DYING to know about them.

Algieri is the greatest boxer on earth. And anyone who disagrees with you is clearly an idiot pacifist.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

well 1 judge had algeri winning 5 of the first 6 and the other 4 of the first 6. then fanboys will say well 2 of the judges had algeri winning so it must be true. not sure why fans would be appealing to the credibility of judges who obviously can't score. honestly why didn't they just give every round to algeri? if they gave him all those. shows that they aren't being genuine with their cards.

Why is that farfetched? I had Algieri winning 4 of the first 6 and could quite easily see 5. Provodnikov didn't win a single clear round except the first round there.
