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

[shadow-boxer]

That's 2 fights Ruslan ko's the opponent n doesn't win. The things judges do now to protect those zeros. Even taking Mannys title to protect Tim's zero. Another one who got away was Maidanas opponent we know who that PUTO is.

Another arrogant idiot on board. If the boxer you are referring to is a PUTO, then who are you, a HORSE ****?

Wrong, Provo will be the A Side in a rematch.....

This Kid Algieri is a Hell of a Fighter...
Some of U Cat's seem to have Missed That Fact!!!

And Provo is NOT a hell of a fighter. They're not fighting in Russia of there's even a rematch. Algiers will probably look to capitalize off his momentum with a bigger fight.

[Drunken Cat]

Algiers beats him even worse in a rematch. Prov was quite thoroughly outboxed. What's he going to do different in a rematch?

[Check_hooks]

I guarantee you there won't be a rematch and it'll be cuz Algeiri's ducking that causes it

No one wants to fight Ruslan twice. No one

Russian champion gets jobbed in American challengers backyard shocker...

Foreign fighters generally need KOs to win against US fighters, that's the beauty of the likes of Kovalev, Matthysse and Golovkin etc, they leave no question-marks. Roach knows, he had to watch Bradley get the decision over Pacquiao.

Provo needs to learn to finish his man when he has him hurt, be ruthless, because they'll always try to push one of their own over him.

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

You got it the wrong way around bro.. Algieri dominated Prov like Pacquiao dominated Bradley, the difference was that Algieri got the correct decision and Pac got robbed.

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.

I dont see Lampley and Kellerman in that light. I dont consider them boxing gurus. They are commentators.

Lampley had been do it for years and Kellerman is a sports guy and is smart, so I give them that, but thats it.

As far as knowledge of boxing Id have to go with the boxing expert. I take the .the word of student of the game and boxing IQ guy, Andre Ward

I know Brighton Beach (Brooklyn) has a large Russian community, but I still didn't think this was the best place to take the champ on the road. I'm still troubled as to how confident Arum was that Algeri had the potential to win this fight.

[bojangles1987]

The 117-109 scorecard for Ruslan was the only "home cooking" involved in this fight.

****ing people pretending Algieri was he benefit of some kind of shady decision, what the ****.

[mann187]

It was a close fight for sure but algieri was getting to provodnikov and keeping him from implementing his gameplan.....did anyone notice ruslan during the ring walk? he looked nervous to me and with the way hes been talking in the lead up makes me wonder if he wants to fight anymore as i think he knows a big fight will be hard to get now.

I picked algieri to win and il admit part of it was hes a white (half Argentinian) guy from new york with good skills. As soon as i heard the interview that bob arum picked algieri to win it did make me think if its close theyll give it algieri.

Il be honest i thought that algieri won but close, if a rematch happens and his eye doesnt swell, hell beat him convincingly next time out unless he gets caught with a shot he doesnt see.
