Amazing fight

[jas]

There's way too much money for arum to hold fights in Macau .....algieri never gets a decision

If PAC were to lose his stock would drop and The casino pays him less for a pacquaio fight ...

This article makes a strong case for Algieri...check it out.

Crap fight

Very disappointed that Manny took this high risk low reward fight that adds nothing to his legacy. Pacquiao needs to retire and go out on a high note.

Well, Pac in beating Algieri will again prove he can beat all types of fighters. He can beat great fighters like Cotto, but some say Cotto was made for Pac? Well Pac can beat boxers like Bradley, and Algieri as well as the JMMs of this world.

My take is that Manny will go somewhat easy on Algieri... It won't be as easy as Rios, but it'll be easy... The speed advantage will be big, and unlike Ruslin, Manny is also very quick on his feet, will be able to get in quick, neutralize that jab and distance created by Chris, plant some quick, heavy punches(manny hits just as hard as Ruslan) then get out...continue this for 12 rounds... Chris will not be picking Manny apart with jabs to win a decision...he'll have to do something else... He won't be able to box and get a win I think...and I don't think he'll make it a war... Just a fight to pass the time, until something big happens next year for Manny before he retires for good...

Oh, I read that article, yes, Chris is "winner" and a very disciplined person and deserves all the credit for his achievements, but you don't need a Master's degree to be an ATG, god given genetics and a fierce will, will always win over even the most prepared individual.

if pac doesnt stop algeri in the early rounds then he should no longer be considered an elite

I think I sort of agree with this. Maybe not in the early rounds since Pacquiao's power seems to have faded some, however, I do expect him to stop him somewhere between the 5th-7th round considering Algieri is a boxer and won't be as a easy to break down and get out of his shell.

a theory...
i'm going to wait till i see the over/under odds on this fight.
then bet accordingly.
i figure if pac bets on himself and he sees its favored for him to win early, then he'll play the odds and bet that he will win late.
and make more money on higher odds.
just a theory.

pacquiao decision, pac is not knocking anyone out anymore lol algieri will be on his backfoot all night.

pac UD 118-110 ,, in a relatively boring fight where pac is chasing him landing the meaningful shots where algeiri just pumping a jab and moving but not landing anything hard and overall ineffective against a moving target in manny
