Comments Thread For: Algieri, Arroyo Add New Life: Post Report Cards

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

One of the things that boxing does as well as any sport, even in this niche and fractured era, is find new faces. A deep division can always find room for one more. A moribund class can spring back to life.

Both happened last Saturday.

Whether one thinks Chris Algieri should have been given the nod over Ruslan Provodnikov or not (this scribe did not at a score of 114-112), he proved he belonged after rising from two first round knockdowns. Jr. Welterweight has slipped just a hair from the peaks of a couple years ago as some of its talent has moved up. Algieri is a quality new face to bolster its ranks.

How do you give Algieri a C- in power when he snapped Provo's head back several times?

Marquez took 2 very tough beatings against Segura and Viloria in recent months (he also took one from Donaire but that was almost 4 years ago) and he hasn't looked well in his last fights. Little Tyson is still young being 25 yrs. old but those 42 professional fights for a guy with a very porous defense is really taking a toll. Besides, it seems he was doing better as a flyweight and now at super flyweight Tyson is unadapted (although is only very few pounds). I am afraid his career will be very short unless he can start learning and applying some defense. One thing for sure is that Marquez always brings excitement to his fights but health should come first.
