Listen, I understand pro boxing is not amateur boxing and it isn't necessarily about who lands more. But when you got a guy landing so clean consistently and the power puncher is having most of his shit blocked and is not being effective with that aggression and power, you can't just give him the round over the clean, effective shots.

I guarantee you guys if you watch the fight without the commentary, you'll score more rounds for Algieri. Jim Lampley is fucking HORRIBLE for overreacting to blocked and/or missed punches. He's always done it.

I thought Algieri won it the 114-112 cards was a good card Prov was looking for only one shot while Algieri was snapping he's head back multiple times on almost every round and only rarely stayed on the ropes for a few seconds.
