Deal Done: Chris Algieri Gets Title Shot vs Ruslan Provodnikov on June 14

Prov ducking rios :-(

 

HBO building "Killers"

 

how is it possible to duck someone who's taken 2 beatings in his last 2 fights? :rofl

 

Algieri might come off the same way Provo did with Bradley. But I think it's a dumb risk to go from the most dangerous guy he's fought to a guy that brutalized Alvarado and concussed Tim Bradley. Some guys aren't that good and if they get a shot they should take it because they'll likely never get another (Pianeta/Wlad) but some guys are legit promising and need to let themselves mature the smart way over a lot of good steps. I think Algieri is that kind of guy. He might be really good if he doesn't get ruined going to fast.

 

Showcase for Rusty.

 

Ruslan ducking Rios, thought he was a warrior

 

Poor guy...How much do they pay him to get killed?

 

This is the kind of scenario where Teddy Atlas says "This is like going from the wading pool, to the ocean!"

 

Well, in Algieri's last outing I said "his slickness probably won't carry as he takes a step up in class this big from regional opposition" - and though he proved me very wrong...I must use a similar refrain here. :yep

I just can't see the **** that worked on Emanuel Taylor working on Provodnikov.

 

Clearly you missed the Provodnikov vs Alvarado fight?

You honestly think Provo is scared of Rio's? :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

You sir, are a comedian.

 

I even heard his voice in my head when I read this, CREEPY!

 

Haha, on the Friday Night Fights broadcast right before Provodnikov/Algieri Teddy will use that line about Algieri, guaranteed.

 

This guy is going to regret being a boxer in round 6.
