    I have not seen much of chris, it looks like he's more of a boxer and ruslan struggles with those types. Boxrec has him ranked #38 in the world and ruslan #3...........:think

    I fully expect Chris to win this fight. He's a smart boxer and a smart person to boot. He's not going to get in there and do anything stupid. Ruslan can be outboxed and Chris has the style to do it. He has a 6 inch reach advantage and 4 in advantage in height. He also is a kickboxer and Tae Kwon Do practitioner as well, which means he has good legs, which one needs to outbox Ruslan.

    Upset special on deck tomorrow night.

    Alvarado was troubling ruslan at times when he was moving I figure algieri could trouble him. Still likely a late knockout for ruslan

    Yeah, but even Alvarado would KO Algieri. Ruslan beats him savagely.

    Algieri has some skills, and his height and reach will help, but I can't see him holding off Provo. Rusian should wear him down by the later rounds and win by ko. I think Provo is a beast

    He will be lucky if he does not end up as a chalk outline on the canvas.

    Actually I might pick Algieri over Alvarado at this point. Not that it means much for this fight, Ruslan beat Alvarado into submission after all.

    He doesn't have a chance.

    Algieri has a habit of backing up with both hands in front of his face, but leaves his body wide open. When he backs up, he backs into the ropes constantly.

    That's where he is going to get punished. He may do well for a round or 2 before getting hammered.
