Are we still bringing this up? Okay, if Algieri didn't win then throw Provo in with pac instead if that's how you feel. Algieri won the fight. You don't have to look at Compubox to see that.

54% of boxing media felt Provodnikov won.

Roach is too ******, he cant stop embarrassing himself. Why are you fighting the "loser" of the fight then ******?

[jas]

It's cringeworthy and embarrassing a promoter who was repeating the same **** about head snapping is arguing boxing with one of the greatest trainers of all time.

LOL Roach is funny, saying Joe deguardia is friends with the judges and than laughing it off.

Man I miss 24/7 with Roach and floyd sr or roger, these two made 24/7 exiting, the Oscar Floyd 24/7 and the Pac Hatton one, Roach and Floyd sr are characters and when you get these two in the room they will fight like cats and dogs and talk mad ****.

I had Provo winning, but I saw the compubox number (in almost every round Algieri landed more and he won the power punch war as well to 7-5) I have to watch it again, maybe I was wrong about it.
And difference between Lara-Canelo and Algieri-Provo is that Algieri threw more punches whil he was moving, Lara not so much though he outlanded Canelo by 10 punch but Canelo landed 36 more power punches than Lara and that's not whatever. In turn based on compubox stats Algieri outlanded Provo in both of the jabs and the power punches. So: I had Provo winning first, now I will watch it again, based on compubox Canelo-Lara was the tighter fight and it can goes either way (I think 36 more power punch counts more than the 10 more punch) and Algieri earned the W. Based on boxing media, and fans, Canelo earned he W (okay there are still somesour g**** Lara fans who are crying about robbery but they are the small minority) and Algieri-Provo could go either way.

I watched again and I changed my opinion a little it can be either a 113-113 or a 114-112, maybe more likely the former. But I think that if Algieri eyes wouldn't closed in round 8-9 (he said that before that rounds he saw pretty well) he would easily won the fight because Provo came strong exactly on those rounds. You can see even in the punch stats. So I had it 7-5 to Algieri which is a 113-113 but I think his win is legit too.
Ps: I like Prove but he really is just a B- level brawler who gets big attention because once Bradley fought the wrong fight against him. What Max Kellerman said that Prov forces his type of fight on his opponents is just a hype talk (nor surprising at all, his job is to hype HBO fighters), if Herrera and Algieri could outbox him than Bradley can do it as well, that's 100%. Tim is one of my favourite fighters but he makes dumb decision oftenly. Brawl with Provo though he could easily outbox him, going for the knockout against Pac on the rematch though he could outbox him based on the firt half of the fight (okay his injury was an other disadvantage but still...).
