Press Scores for Provodnikov vs. Algieri. Interesting.

[Loque-san]

Didn't say Provo lost every round except the 1st. Why don't you go read that again and get back at me.

You didn't indeed. Algieri said he was seeing well until the eighth round.

To be the champ you have to BEAT the champ

Pretty much everyone is saying it was a close fight. Did Algeiri do enough to BEAT Prov after getting dropped twice? No way

Really? Did Pac do enough to beat the champion in Marquez II? No. It was a much closer fight than this one, so by your own definition, Pac couldn't have won it.

How is anybody supposed to take this seriously when you've got scorecards like this...

Anthony Largar (BadLeftHook) : 118-108 Provodnikov
Steve Weisfeld (HBO Boxing) : 117-109 Provodnikov
Adam Abramowitz (Saturday Night Boxing) : 116-110 Provodnikov
The Boxing Tribune : 119-107 Provodnikov

Hahaha wow!! I think these guys were drunk while scoring the fight.

Nice to see a white American picking up some slack for the rest of us white guys in this country.

I had Provodnikov up 114-112

When I watched the fight the first time, I had it a draw. When I rewatched it, I had Provo winning by 2 points.

It was weird, Algieri seemed to frustrate Provo, but he was really not landing much. He won half the rounds for showing a lot of spirit, but Provo also earned his half of the rounds. Both were missing a lot, but I think many got to cheering Algieri on after suffering the damage he did early.

Watched the fight thrice and base on my unbias eyes it could have been provo 114-112. It seems like provo landed significant shots and he was the champion on the fight. It ain't a robbery like the dsg vs herera fight. It is bad judging or home cooked

[Holy Hatred]

Provo had 1 definitive round where he scored two knockdowns, the rest were competitive and could have gone either way.
