    Looking back it seems like chris was brought in to get massacred on TV to further promote provo and his exciting boxing style. In stead provo gets his ears boxed off :lol::lol:

    Chris was undefeated, had a good record, a kickboxing background. Looked like an easy W....

    No, plus it was a very, very close fight, and I think a small majority of the press had Provodnikov winning.

    Considering Prov was a hyped title holder and Algieri was an unknown and unranked boxer with little experience near the top level... absolutely it was, if you believe in the term at all.

    ^This.
    When matchmaking goes wrong...
    Algieri was supposed to make Ruslan look like a beast.

    Yes it was. Just like Provo was a cherrypick gone wrong for Bradley, just like Diaz went wrong for Khan

    So Herrera has a legit win over prov but he's a bum and a cherry pick...................

    But Algeiri gets put on his ass twice vs Prov, be out on his feet numerous times, and moon walks to a contested win and now Algieri is a viable opponent for Manny


    Which one is it u bytch nikkas, answer that.............

    Why would he cherry pick a guy with a boxing style that gives Provodnikov problems?
