Boxing Media split on the Provodnikov-Algieri fight

[Luiz]

Trick fight to score.

Does anyone have Teddy Atlas' scorecard?
Most fights on ESPN I wind up scoring the same as him and he's usually 80-90% correct.

I had it 116-110 Provo.

Meh. Boxing media is full of blow hards just like this site. It's not like when I think of boxing media, I think Stan Van Pelt or something. I think of ****ing Ellie Sechbach.

The majority of fans, who I should remind you don't appreciate a style like Algieri's had Algieri winning.

Either way Provo sucks. He's an espn level fighter. Their is nothing to his game but coming forward and throwing short hooks that can't possibly land unless the guy stands still. He's the moreone dimensional then Rios IMO.

"Boxing media don't know shiet about about boxing doe" lol weren't you one of the guys saying "boxing media thinks mayweather won at 80%. You think they dont know boxing "? Again fckng double standards by you clowns

54 means it's split down the middle, guys.

I scored it live 114-112 for Provodnikov. Very close fight, I don't see much ground for complaint either way. There should be a rematch.

Nobody rematches Ruslan, nobody.

Close fight but I had it 8 rounds to 4 Algieri. There were some close rounds in there but the activity of Chris won them for me.

The Boxing media has it close to so in no way it was a robbery.

117-109 Provo was too excessive

Very hard fight to score guys. This basically came down to what your boxing philosophy is.
Is it about who is dishing out more damage or who is landing more punches?

Im a Ruslan fan, but Ill give it to Algieri. I thought his punches had some good snap on them even if they didnt hurt Ruslan. They stopped his forward momentum at times and landed super cleanly.

[IronDanHamza]

Close fight so not surprised that it's split like this.

Could have gone either way.

[Da Hammer]

I thought Algieri won but there were so many close rounds and it just depends on how you score fights. I have no problem with either man getting a 115-113 decision. Hell if you say Ruslan won 116-112, I wouldn't argue with you. Just tough fight to score.
