Chris Algieri fought Emmanuel Taylor after Taylor hadnt fought in almost a full year (fought in March 2013 and fought Algieri in Feb 2014). That's 11 months of ring rust on him before there fight.
Broner fought Taylor, who was only 1 1/2 months off his previous win against Karim Mayfield, and in Taylor's 3rd fight of 2014. Different scenarios.
Broner makes easy work of Chris Algieri to me. Nobody without power or a chin will ever beat Adrien Broner.
Well, just have to see about that. Broner hasn't fought a top guy since Chino and we all know too well what happened there.
I need to see Broner handle somebody better than Taylor (entertaining bout, but still a struggle performance up until the last couple rounds) before I can really favor him over Algieri.
If I were to see Broner wash Matthysse or Peterson (which I think he could) than I would favor him especially if Chris doesn't get a rebound confidence builder beforehand.
Right now both Broner and Algieri have problems with aggressive punchers. Moreso Broner, since we saw Chris was at least able to outbox Provodnikov even though the fight was close.
