What's Algerie gonna do? Knock him out?

Donaire is a fair sized lightweight, he is almost Algieri's size and twice the fighter.

Rigo UD

Size difference, weight difference, what could Algieri do? He ain't outboxing Rigo.

Lets be honest here if Rigo wanted he could go up and clean out 126, 130 with ease, few guys at 135 might cause a few issues tbf Vasquez, Abril, etc but then again they would completely shut out Algieri.

Algieri is a barely reasonable 140lb fighter with a very basic skillset, no pop what so ever or strength. He wouldn't even try impose his size advantage, its not in his DNA

I ain't joking, Rigo ****s that boy up

I'd pick Rigo as well, people put too much stock on size, act like the weight differential is gonna cause a decapitation. Always said Rigo can beat guys considerably bigger than himself granted he fights disciplined, which he does as well as anybody. Doesn't have to be Algieri alone, he can have a lot of success at '30 and '35.

Rigo cuts like what? 4 lbs to make sbw? Hed have to put on 15 lbs of muscle just to get to 140. Even at lw hed be at a weight disadvantage.

I think rigo should move up, but not to 140, thats too high.

Why not match him against another cuban fighter his size like Richard Abril, similar styles, weight. Should be a battle of attrition ala patty cake.

If Algieiri couldn't stop Provodnikov it means he wouldn't hurt a 5'5" 119 pounder right?

Everything is cartoonish black and white extremes on here.

If Algieiri knocks someone out in his next few fights he will go from featherfisted to "brutal destroyer/KO artist" like Martinez did when he knocked out Williams. Of course he was neither but that's how it goes.

If he gets knocked out he will be "glass chinned".
If he beats that same count by 1 he will be "iron chinned".
