The poll doesn't have enough options. I felt Provodnikov did enough to keep the belt, but was out-boxed far too much of the fight to use the word robbery.
algieri showed what some have known all along. if you can box ruslan...u can beat him. bradley showed it...so did herrera.
This was no robbery, by any stretch. That said, Algeri is the slickest White fighter I've ever seen. Where did this guy come from?
mind blowing how many of you dont know how to score a fight. malignaggi had algieri winning 8 to 4. atsch even dan rafael who isnt an expert in scoring fights had ruslan winning 115-112
I was waiting for this. You could argue based on this that the knockdowns should have edged it for him. I say this is grounds for a rematch. :good
lmao so paulie only gave ruslan 1 round after the 1st? well it does not surprise me 1 bit that oaulie would be enamored by another feather fisted eye-talian lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my bad i was thinking points. so he had him winning by one point, don't forget prov had a 3 point first round.
Yes he was. According to the rules, the fight should have been stopped after Algieri's eye was closed, he could not see out of that eye, so why not stick to the same rules as the other fights I have seen? Provodnikov did the damage, Algieri could not hurt a fly.........look at their faces and compare..........
