[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bill "Two Scoops" Emes catches up with undefeated WBO junior welterweight champion Chris Algieir, and his co-promoter Joe DeGuardia of Star Boxing, to discuss the finalized HBO Pay-Per-View fight with WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao on November 22nd in Macau, China. Algieri talks about the critics who blasted the match, the negotiating process to reach a deal on his end, the status of the injuries he suffered from the June victory over Ruslan Provodnikov, training camp for the bout with Pacquiao, facing Pacquiao in Macau before a hostile crowd of Filipino fans.

Fighter of the decade my ass... What a damn joke of a fight, should just give rios the rematch

[Showtime..]

The fight doesn't bother me as much as the fact that it's @147 for the Pac's 147 Title.

But I would have preferred several other fights outside of Algieri..

[Hougigo]

Algieri's style can pose a problem...bigger guy moving up with those long arms, good stamina and could try to move and keep Pac at length with his jab....but just a fight nobody really cares for.

If Pac loses, nobody is even going to see it....well...pay to see it

[IIG]

He seems like a nice guy. He truly believes in himself, but he's getting wrecked.

[HanzGruber]

One thing for sure Chris is confident as hell. And not some fake confidence for the camera. Idk if he can actually do it but I'd root for him

[Inkanyamba]

Does anyone even care about this fight? Had to scoop this article up from the very bottom of page 2 LOL!!!

[GoToTheBody]

STRONG confidence...his confidence alone makes me think he can win. The American Dream

[SlySlickSmooth]

I'm only interested in seeing how Pacquiao attacks Algieri.

Algieri definitely isn't going toe-to-toe and I expect him to try and box circles around Pacquiao. So I want to see how Pacquiao breaks down this target.

[Mike D]

It's actually a somewhat fascinating fight.

Pac has trouble with pure boxers. And Algieri falls along those lines. Algieri, as mentioned, is also longer and has reach. And while Manny is still a pound for pound guy at the moment, he's obviously a totally different guy than the killer we knew previously.

But...it's still Algieri. He has zero name power. Less than Rios even.

Fight should be on regular HBO subscription. I think everyone is in agreement on that aspect.
