Comments Thread For: Hearn: Algieri is No Problem, Brook Stops Him in Three

[HEND]

Because Brook is a much more physical fighter than Pacquiao?

Algieri wouldn't last 6 rounds with Brook. No chance.

And why is that the most important factor? Probably both Provodnikov and Pacquaio punch bigger than Brook and neither of them KO-d Algieri even though both og them knocked him down. They didn't knock him down because their physical power but because their punching power and in Pac's case with speed. I don't say that Algieri would beat Brook, Brook would win imo by UD but not by KO...

Brook is a good fighter but please don't make him out like he would be a knockout monster just because he stopped two nohopers on his last two fights.

I believe Pac showed a few of the reasons:

1. Patience to exploit his mistakes
2. Distance
3. Pawing jab
4. Chin
5. Basic/predictable footwork

Algieri looks like a relatively solid boxer when he's fighting someone who is reckless. Provodnikov was a brawler throwing wild bombs which he was able to evade and potshot, Khan was throwing his usual arm flurries with little accuracy (or power) which allowed Algieri to find some holes and land shots.

Brook is the opposite of reckless, he is very precise and controls distance very well, a great jab being a key reason and that would control that fight. He is also very accurate, has very good power, he's physically strong and he'd be fighting a guy with no power...Algieri has no advantages in that fight.

That's a fair answer, however I disagree with it.
Brook has the patience to exploit his mistakes that's sure but I think Brook is more stationary compared to Pacquiao and also or that fast so he would have a hard time with catch Algieri with big combos like Pac did. Brook is just not that type of fighter. He is a more conservative fighter working behind a strong jab and can be either offensive or defensive but I think he is not mobile enough to catch Algieri with killer combos from jump ins like Pac did. So I think actually Pac was a lot worse style match up for Algieri than Kell.

However I don't say that Brook would lose, he would probably win by a comfortable UD. He is the ore technical fighter with one of the best jabs in the game right now so he would be outpoint Algieri but a KO? No I don't see it.

I do agree that Kell would land less combos than Pac, it's not really his style.

The thing is though, even against Pac, the shots that did the real damage were single shots. Pac was leading with that backhand often and hurting or dropping Algieri. I believe that's how a fight with Brook would go from the start; the jab controlling the fight and the right hand coming in behind it (and at times right leads) and doing real damage.

I can't understand why Hearn is not pushing for a shot at Mayweather? Khan will be around for a while, Floyd (Manny and Marquez) won't!

Algieri has faced tougher opponents than Brook. And with JDJ in his corner he looks explosive, Brook aint stopping sht in three rounds.

[elishua F]

these brook groupies have turned porter into sugar ray robinson to put that win on an even higher pedestal. .its fckin pathetic. .all porter is known for is blitzing malignaggi, something khan did as well..stop making porter out to be some P4P great.. brooks resume is utter sht and to put him above khan is ******ed..i wouldn't even rank brook above algieri, look at the quality of opposition, theres no comparison

Algieri would be better off running.

He hasn't faced nobody better than Brook incl. Pacquiao.

No they don't. At all. And that's not the only point - Brook is a better finisher than both of those guys, and much better at cutting off the ring.

Physical power in this fight would be important because all of a sudden, Algieri woke up and realized he's a big guy and decided to fight like one. Unfortunately for him, Brook is a freak on the inside and would smash him up and give him a Gavin-esque eye in a couple of rounds.

Right, but you're making out Pacquiao who hasn't had a KO win in 6 years or so a beast, and Ruslan who's only good win is Mike Alvarado coming straight from a KZ camp.

Brook would hurt Algieri. Badly.

That Algieri in against Khan would cause Brook massive problems.

[thack]

What a laugh from these Khan idiots , it's now 'that Algieri' not the true fact that Khan was rubbish and got his knee's dipped by 'that Algieri'...really pathetic and delusional.
