Pacquiao-Algieri Prefight & Postfight discussion & analysis thread

[MDPopescu]

This will be a very good fight!

Algieri fought a bored Provodnikov who doesn't want to fight Manny and said he would retire.
Algieri seems to be a smart guy, but he is far from having the required experience to cope with Manny.

what a joke. time to retire.

Very risky fight for Pacquiao, Chris is a high risk low reward bout, a taller and bigger mover with long reach.

Pac could have took on a tailormade opponent like Floyd is doing with Maidana but instead he is fighting his weakness a slick mover.

Chris can move like Lara and everyone who has criticized Pac will tell you this is a stylistic problem for Manny, he can;t fight movers.

Chris is like Lara the ultimate mover, gotta give Pac mad respect and props for taking on a hungry young undefeated guy like Chris, he is giving some new blood a shot at least and a guy who presents him huge problems in the ring.

They should make this on Regular HBO though not PPV. treat the fans Arum, give us one free fight with Pacqiuao, like you used to do with Oscar from time to time.

I wish that all fights be on Free TV, one can only hope....

is this the best Pac can do vs a guy that, yes, have ht/reach on him but likes the deck & w/that eye???Plus Pac's coming @ him from the opposite side...4/5 better opponents out there, but Algieri's people got him the $$ fight, so b it...

I am guessing the tards have already said how "dangerous" of a fight that this will be for Pacquiao? LOL They will defend their hero at all cost. This is a **** fight and no way in hell is it PPV worthy. SMH

Arum, when discussing the PPV disappointment of Cotto-Martinez, has something along the lines of this to say

PPV every month is hurting the sport. PPV is down across the board because it is diluted, it was once reserved for TRUE SUPERFIGHTS, now stars are getting PPV slots, even if there is no star power in the other corner.

But, still he has no problem putting this on. What a joke.

I'm not taking anything away from Algieri, he showed heart, and a lot of balls to get the W against Provodnikov, but this just is not worthy of $60.

Not a lot to get excited about in all honesty.

Chris is a live dog, he just pulled off one of the biggest upsets dont you ever INSULT a fighter he showed his heart and determination he is no bum thati s for sure he beat one of the most feared men in Ruslan, many wanted Ruslan to fight Pac but Pac is fighting a WINNER instead many of you said he only fights guys coming off of losses, well he is fighting a guy coming off a huge win, so in actuality you floyd fanboys aka Pac haters have no room to talk he is fighting someone that you guys say he never would, he is a stylistic nightmare for pac, study it, he isnt a big name but he presents a style problem he is tall and moves and boxers off the back foot.

Not tailormade like Maidana, if Floyd fought Crhis Algieri over Maidana I would give him props, I want to see Floyd fight someone with speed, someone slick and is not flat footeda nd moves a lot with stamina.

he mostly fights guys like Canelo, Guerrero, Maidana.

If Jinkee read these posts she'd think Manny cheating on her again with Hectari.

The Pope doesn't talk this glowingly about God!!
