You really think he beat Ruslan though convincingly? He ran that whole fight. Breh, there's such a fine line between boxing and running when the opponent is a brawler.

But with Manny though, yeah ain't nothing wrong with having him on your resume as handing you an L.

I thought Chris won that fight clearly. Ruslan let himself get outboxed by not following instructions and by being one dimensional.

Still to be fair, it does rub me wrong a little bit about Algieri being in the mix. His fight with Prod was arguable, and he took a thorough azz whoopin from Manny, barrel rolls and all. Just like that, he's back in the mix for a belt. Something wrong with that picture. I guess that's what happens when a promoter and network keep everything in house.
shyts a joke. Parlay a maybe win into 2 other big fights smh. Not that boxing is known for that.

Pretty much.

Ruslan fought the worst fight possible when you done dropped your opponent twice early.

- Didn't go to the body:childplease:
- One punch at a time:huhldup:
- Too much head hunting:aicmon:
- Inability to cut off the ring:damn:
- Pretty much did fukk all what Roach was saying. :snoop:

Now during all of this, Algieri is...

- Jabbing his fukking head off:youngsabo:
- Throwing combinations and moving:whoo:
- Working the body:ohhh:
- Snapping Ruslan's head back with right hands that you see sweat fly off :mjlol:

Fight was close no doubt, but Ruslan looked worse at the end of the day ( boxing wise, not face wise cuz Algieri eye was :mjcry:)

Meanwhile people sh!t on Lara for having a close fight with Canelo after which Cinnamon wanted no parts of a rematch, but Algieri gets a Pac fight and barring a mishap, Crawford right after. People complained that Lara ran too much, when Algeiri was on his bike for both his past fights. Like Roach said, "this is a fight, not a marathon."

If Lara would have fought Canelo like Algieri did against Ruslan, he would have won the fight. Dude was sonning Canelo in the 1st 3 rds, but as soon as he caught some body shots, that nikka put them roller skates on.

The biggest difference between Lara and Algieri is heart and a consistent jab. Lara will jab, but he doesn't move and jab. He makes real big circles in the ring without throwing anything. Chris makes short circles in the ring in order to stay in range to throw that consistent jab.

Algieri was dropped 2x and had a fukked up eye, and he still stuck to his gameplan of boxing. Body shots and pressure from Canelo was the only thing Lara had to overcome and he allowed that to throw off his gameplan.

I'm not saying Algieri is better than Lara, because he isn't, but when faced with someone on his level (Ruslan) he looked better than Lara did against (Canelo) who mad cats thought was beneath him in skills.

nikka didnt listen to a word of what roach was saying. if he kept going to the body and cutting off the ring, he would had a better chance at winning.

chris aint a bum, but i agree that he shouldnt get another big fight yet. I would rather see the winner of prov/lucas fight the winner of TC/dulomore.

Chris should take his ass to 140 and fight vargas :mjlol:.

You know what. That's not even a bad fight.

We know how Vargas does against punchers. Might as well throw him in against Algieri.
