The fix was in but that old b*stard Bob Arum pulled a swerve on us.

Pac/Algieri? I have no interest in watching that. it would be horrible stylistically.

word..max was never this bad I think hbo in dudes ear.

yeah it's weird- cause max kinda used to be call it how he see it, now not as much. it seems like only roy jones and andre ward are the consistent ones. paulie also on showtime. at least al bernstein will admit if he wrong- the other dude on there farhood or whatever (i'm thinking about the bald headed dude with glasses- might not be farhood) is iffy also.

Top Rank has the best matchmakers in the business. Nyggas hate Arum, but he knows the game. He saw this coming. Roach probably saw it coming too

it really ruins the viewing when you got these biased dudes riding with the channel fighter, almost trying to sway the audience. then they wanna act like they shocked.

Exactly these nikkas act like we don't have fukking eyes :mindblown:

I've always preferred Bernstein/Farhood/Paulie/Charles rip :to: over the hbo team.

I think Algieri would be a nightmare for Manny. A boxer with the endurance to run for 12rnds and he has a reach advantage. Arum getting hard off those potential K@K dollars. He probably sees star potential in the white boy.

I told nikkas Algieri would out box Provodnikov. Styles make fights. The only thing I was questioning was dudes chin. I almost had a heart attack that 1st round, but after that dude started boxing the shyt outta that nikka. I don't know what the fukk Kellerman and Lamps were watching, but at least Roach and Ward knew what was up.
:camby: with all the running shyt too. I'll be the first dude to shyt on a running ass nikka, but if that dude is out landing you 3 to 1 in every round it's hard to argue against it. Ruslan is still a beast. He just has to jab his way in more and move his fukking head. Dude was getting hit with every punch in the book and as soon as he closed the distance, Chris knew what type of shot he would throw and braced for it or evaded it. Ruslan just wants to speed toward you an wing shots. That doesn't work all the time.

140 starting to heat up again.

I hope the Charlo bros watched the Andrade fight. When you got an outmatched guy, out box him and close the fukking show.
I bet them nikkas would of went the whole 12 rounds with Rose. :snoop:

i really wonder what judges and people view when they score fights. what they deem important in winning a round- is it clean landed punches or harder punches? who is controlling the pace of the action and defense? cause from round 2 on, it seemed like ruslan was fighting algieri fight. algieri was controlling the pace and picking and choosing when he wanted to engage.

ruslan didn't have no answers or change in strategy to stop it. that's why i love boxing cause what's supposed to happen don't always happen. ruslan swolled this man eye up then proceeded to get outboxed to a split decision lol

Provodnikov's defense lost him this fight. His power shots would have meant more if he wouldn't have been eating 2-3 jabs and uppercuts in between his landed punches. That's basically how he gave the Bradley fight away. Yeah it was close, but whenever he couldn't hurt Timmy, or crowd and wail on him, he was getting tagged to the body and upstairs especially in the middle rounds. It's just that Algeri had the discipline plus physical dimensions to avoid prolonged exchanges.

That's what makes Manny so unique. He can actually win rounds without having to hurt you constantly. He'll outwork you and drop bombs and then dart away so you can't return fire. That shyt wins rounds, whereas Ruslan will land some bombs, but then follow you around the ring getting tagged with everything you throw back. :mjlol:

fukking finally gotten outta my slump 28-10. :blessed:
