Berto-Algieri on Thurman-Garcia undercard who you got?

[Eff Pandas]

Solid co-feature fight. I think thats gonna be a close one or if Algieri is lil overhyped at this point he'll get Spence'd again, but probably later on in the fight. I think Algieri is low key crafty doe & will do well making it a tight competitive fight. If he's a big enough dog I'll probably throw some $ on him.

CBS card looks to be taking shape.

Thurman-Garcia
Berto-Algieri
Lubin-Cota

Berto......

[DeLorean]

Algieri can dance and pick his shots ..if he wants to. but since hooking up with JDJ he's willing to trade power punches..his chin is decent. .i slightly favor him to out-scrap Berto.

not really answering the thread, but just a thought

If the card ends up looking like things are sounding (Garcia-Thurman, Berto-Algieri as the TV co-feature, Erickson Lubin in a WBC 154lb eliminator, Lou DiBella leading the show likely putting his fighters on the bill, etc), the timing of things starts to get real interesting.

Garcia-Thurman, happening two weeks before the Golovkin fight, is going to take up a ton of the energy in NYC (card for card, the rumored Showtime/CBS tripleheader is arguably the better televised fight card [Usyk facing TBA, and the money not likely to be there for Roman Gonzalez]).

Daniel Jacobs, no different than in Andre Ward's situation (though the money is likely different), likely got his money as a fee on the front end, only getting cut in on any of the other money if the event is a massive success.

With K2 needing the event to be a success (to cover the costs and pay everyone, but mainly to justify getting a piece of the entire event in the discussions with Saul Alvarez), having a competing company deliver a stacked card (likely on CBS and in primetime) within weeks of your own event and in the same market, is a pretty cutthroat way to dry out a town/city, wouldn't you think?

Golovkin fans are going to support Golovkin, and the folks that back Jacobs are going to back their guy, but I'm not sure if the general NYC/NY-area fight fan is going to dig into their pocket to buy tickets to both Garcia-Thurman and Golovkin-Jacobs (especially knowing that Garcia-Thurman, no different than Jacobs-Quillin, likely will have the tickets priced $500-$50 and that the fan at home can tune into the fight and not have to pay extra).

will be interesting

lol...wow.

I'll take Chris in this fight. Berto hasn't been the same since those shoulder surgeries, he doesn't have the same upper body movement and seems to have lost the explosiveness he once had

[mathed]

Berto sucks against guys who can box. Algieri takes a SD only because Berto is a house staple boxer.

Pretty much the way I see it too.

I will go with Berto is a hilarious fight..Algeri's 10 seconds of fame are over...
