So what does that make Broner and Bradley then? :rofl And no one's making excuses. Fact is a one-armed shot to pieces Pacquiao who let's not forget Floyd ducked for half a decade gave Floyd everything he could handle despite fighting with a huge handicap and won a unanimous decision in most knowledgeable and unbiased and boxing fans eyes. As much as this pains you, that's the reality of the situation and I'm afraid you're going to just have to learn to come to terms with it instead of endlessly whinging and whining like a big insecure sissy. :deal
Except Ruslan was also robbed against Algeiri. Ruslan was landing body shots and left hooks up until the middle of the fight. People just act like round 1 was his only highlight and nothing else. Well...I wouldn't say it was a robbery but I had (and many at ring side had Ruslan winning). Nonetheless yes Algeiri has shown that he is good, Pac and Floyd are on a different level, and Khan needs to STFU.
Except he wasn't. A one-eyed green Algieri won a close but deserved victory over the much more experienced Ruslan. That's the same Ruslan who paddled P4P top 5 ranked Timothy Bradley's ass only to be robbed by Bradley's judges. Bradley fought like a warrior in that fight and he deserves huge credit for putting it all on the line but truth is he deserved a draw at best.
And I give Algeiri credit for his heart. And yes he won more rounds thant Provodnikov. But I think Provodnikov had a decent amount of rounds early, coupled with his 2 knockdowns which probably gave him a close decision in my view. To be fair to Bradley, I had the Prov fight a draw. And Ruslan is my favorite fighter. However if anyone robbed Prov that night it was the ****ing ref who didn't count his clear KD in the 1st round.
Ruslan was robbed against Maricio Herrera though. That's the same Herrera who paddled Danny Garcia's ass something rotten in front of Garcia's Rican home crowd but was robbed blind by Garcia and Haymon's judges.
Fair enough you are entitled to your opinion. There were arguably two KDs the ref should've called and I've no doubt he would of had it been Ruslan on the receiving end of them instead of Timothy. The one in the first and there was also one later in the fight were a left hook sent Bradley reeling into the ropes like a drunk who'd been whacked across the bonce with a sledgehammer. Bradley was gone and would've unquestionably gone down had the ropes not been there. And let's be real there were numerous occasions in the fight were the referee could've waved it off given the state Bradley was in. There were at least 3 or 4 instances during the fight were Bradley looked like he was on the verge of death.
Khan was never warned for cheap shots, holding the head down, hitting low. Only Chris was warned for getting his head pushed down by Khan. The ref was bloody awful
