Dude, S-T-F-U and get K-T-F-O for M-O-N-E-Y. Or R-U-N the whole F-I-G-H-T. Either way you will L-O-S-E.

Question: What is it about your opponent’s style that makes it so difficult? Is your kickboxing knowledge an advantage? Leg movements is very important when you have to fight against an opponent like Manny Pacquiao.

Chris Algieri: “It is not so much Manny’s style but his experience level that makes him such a dangerous opponent. He has had over 60 pro fights and been fighting for a very long time against the top fighters in the world. It is going to be my job to test how bad he actually still wants this.

Algieri shouldn't give a damn how bad Pac wants to win .... That shouldn't even factor into the equation.

The only thing that really matters is, how bad does he, himself want to win.

Algieri is the best stick and move artist in boxing, stick and move boxiing is becoming a lost art, the fight will look similar to Pac vs Mosley but Pac losing.

Mosley was moving and running but rarely threw a punch, Pac couldn't catch him. Algieri sticks and moves sticks and moves, Pac will look like Ruslan and just walk slowly if Pac gets aggressive and leaps in Chris can knock him out with a right hand counter catching Manny lunging in.

All Chris has to do is stick and move and pump the jab even if he just pumps the jab at air keep his arm out and Pac will be cautious to go forward, its a wrap easy work.

Only way Pac wins is if he all of a sudden found a way to cut off the ring without lunging and or baits Algieri and counters him from the middle of the ring.

I dont think it will an easy night for Manny but to compare what Prov looked like to what Manny will look like is silly. I think Pac will counter that jab and make Algieri think a little more. Algieri will have to plant his feet once in a while if he wants to land some hard shots and Manny will capitalize in it. Im willing to bet with anyone that Manny wins this one.

A lost art? I highly debate that, in fact I think more and more up and comers are doing it trying to emulate Floyd with horrific results for them. Algieri is the bigger man, fighting in retreat mode does not play to his strengths, him forcing Pacquaio backwards does because it frustrates him and makes him reckless. Algieri on the back foot is a recipe to get feinted to sleep. The reality is Roach and Pacquaio are preparing to fight a man who is going to be on his back foot, I think Algieri could throw a wrench in it by fighting forward instead and being more aggressive. Ppl act like this guy can't punch, Ruslan eventually came to respect his power in that fight.
