    People throw this cherry pick **** around too much. This was not a cherry pick, Algieri just as the style, chin, and ability to give Provo problems. Provo is more tailor made for Algieri, so how is it a cherry pick for Provo again?

    It's just a team who overlooked Algieri and doesn't know how to make adjustments.

    I thought so when I first heard about the fight, since I had never heard of Algieir. But then when the fight came on, and the commentators and even Ruslan said he has the style that can give him trouble, I wasn't near as shocked when Algieir won. And yes, he clearly won.

    Ha. Come on dumb ass. Ruslan wanted that fight bad but rios team and bob wouldn't let him fight the Russian. And Algieri wasn't a damn cherry pick. Ruslan was very open about his disappointment with who he was fighting in Algieri. He was open about it. There's a shitload of interviews where he said it. Ruslan is not at a level where he can choose his opponents anyhow.

    If he "clearly" won why did half the folks who seen the fight say ruslan won. Look up the definition of "clearly" ya dumb fukk.

    Why do you have to resort to insults? You're childish.

    algieri was a cherrypick. i don't see how people think he schooled ruslan. algieri looked on the verge of death after the fight.

    Provodnikov doesn't seem like the cherry picking type of Boxer. He had to fight him and he did. Not all boxers are cherry pickers.

    I had the fight for Provodnikov but it's definitely close, 50/50 and could go either way.

    What's childish is saying someone "clearly" won a fight when said fight was the most hotly disputed I'd seen in a good long time. For that you get called a dumb fukk. Deal with it. Go back floyd threads where u can spout bull**** with morons who agree with u.
