Comments Thread For: Roach Felt it Was Hometown Cooking in Ruslan Loss

Algriei won quite easily I must say, beside the 1st round he was never again in serious danger.

i agree with you when i started seeing the hbo scores i wondered if i was literally missing something provo was doing. Then i got online and realized i was not the only obne that was scoring the fight more favorable to algeiri.

This may have been the worst commentating I've seen. I pretty much tune Lamply out. Kellerman is becoming a bigger company man each time out. And whoever that guy was svoring the fight should never be allowed on TV again. These kinda fights are a nightmare to score. And the KDs and Algeri's eye didn't make it any easier. I thought Algeri won more rounds and the KDs tightened the scores.

Lol

They have Roach on video telling Provo you need a knockout.

I was pulling for Ruslan and he simply got dominated by a better fighter after the first round. Anyone that thinks differently is in my opinion a biased boob.

That's weird I thought that russian guy pulled some strings to move the venue so Chris wouldn't have the hometown advantage.

Provodnikov lost. Plain and simple.

It is plain and simple. The decision went to Algie, but that doesn't mean he won the fight. Nearly ever Boxing analyst, writer at the fight had Provo winning at the very least, 114-112. Dan Raphael had Provo winning 115-111. Algie took a beating despite hitting with Paulie Mags type power.

You're an idiot. Sure, Algie dominated Provo like Bradley dominated Pacquiao in their first fight. Not even, clown!

Absolutely. Because they knew they couldn't win a decision with that crowd, those judges, no matter what, and they were right. Provo won the first 8 rounds without question, you rube!

Cmon, Provo be showing up at Brooklyn Nets games and its a homecooking

Even HBO said it themsleves during commentary this fight was a push towards marketing a Russian fighter out in Brooklyn because of the Russian population.

From what I know of NY those cats take their boroughs seriously and Algeiri isn't a Brooklyn cat.

Sure, you know more about the game of Boxing than Lampley or Kellerman. You don't have to like listening to them, but they do know more about the sport, about judging, been around the biggest fights in history most of their lives first hand, as opposed to a clown like you that settles in here and thinks he has a stage, to pre- suppose he saw the fight more accurately than Lampley & Kellerman, and they have no clue. You're an idiot.
