    Algieri is a subpar boxer. Khan had an off night but got the job done.

    I may have not picked him against ruslan outright but i have always had faith in him even after he got destroyed against Pac very few thought he would be able to hold his own against elite fighters:hi:

    He's got a better corner man now and I think that's why he did better than expected against Khan

    Nobody was "protecting" Algieris 0, and the fact he was American was irrelevant.

    Provodnikov was the house fighter and the money fighter in that fight.

    Algieri was just seen as cannon fodder.

    That was the hyperbole that I'm prone to.:D But I did think he would beat him. And in my opinion he did by a point, or at the very least it should have been a draw.

    I wasn't necessarily saying Algieri won the belt through a robbery. But if you are fighting a champion for his belt, you will most likely fail to win the belt in a fight you got knocked down twice and hospitalized after (looking like this https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/algierieye.jpg). If Provodnikov was an American, or if Algieri was not a marketable, undefeated boxer, I'm confident the result wouldn't be anything less favorable (to Prov) than a draw.

    Marketable?
    Barely anyone outside of Long Island knew who Algieri was before that fight.

    Like I said, Provodnikov not being American is irrelevant. The people were there to see him, he was the house fighter, and he was the reason HBO showed the fight.

    It was a close fight, agreed.

    I scored it 7-5 Algieri but have no problem with either a draw or a close Khan win. Close fight.
