Da fck? How the heck is a non-star that noone has heard of with a tiny local promoter going to corrupt anything? Algieri also got some good shots in.
agree, max kellerman dksab provodnikov beat the hell out of that dude even with the perfect style and gameplan against prov algieri got his a$$ kicked!!! yeah he landed a lot of jabs and won some middle rounds but he did not hurt prov w that pitty pat ****, this is not the amateurs!
I think Provodnikov probably won a close fight. The reason people aren't outraged at this decision is because Algieri was a huge underdog, got off the deck twice, and lasted 12 rounds with a beach ball eye. It's a much more romantic story for this guy to win the fight. Truth be told: it was an admirable performance from Algieri, but Ruslan did enough to defend his title.
Ruslan became "a star" when he lost a decision to Tim Bradley. You think no one is going to watch Provodnikov now?:huh
Provodnikov was cheated by a home town decision. Look at Provodnikov's face, then look at Algieri's face, tell me who won...........................Algieri ran like hell, Provodnikov landed the much harder punches, Algieri could not hurt a fly.................
Unfortunately Farmy, none of that alone determines who wins a boxing match. Especially the bit about hurting a fly.
Yeah. Well, with the way Top Rank does it, now they have both Algieri and Provodnikov to feed to their "stars" at WW (Pac/JMM/Bradley). People citing corruption make no sense. The higher profile, A-side of the promotion lost fair and square. This... ...and then this... ...but mostly this.
