Chris Algieri gets KTFO in a kickboxing fight

[Spicoli]

Whatever the combat the fact you get caught with the same uppercut years removed goes into the checklist

Like 3 second or so before he's caught he threw a kick, you think that may have a little relevance?

This is a great find, says something about his chin and which shot he may be vulnerable to, but he seemed to have his defences vs Provodnoskill and stayed for the most part, away from danger.

This is typical of boxing fans, yet they never learn, when something looks this one sided to everyone, it rarely is.

He was near off balance and attempted the roundhouse kick. But it was him catching two light feeler right uppercuts that saw him set for the finish. He committed to one side and was countered perfectly for finish. Unless Manny is shot to bits and has concrete in his boots, he is going to give Chris a brutal lesson in mobile boxing-punching. Can see Algeiri resorted to uncharacteristic brick thrower and raw guts alone before he falls.

I don't see it happening like that, although it's possible.

Algieri has avoided being KO so far, including against Provodnoskill who is a high, high pressure fighter, with a good punch.

Manny hasn't exactly been KOing people recently either.

Huge chance Manny will win, but it won't be anywhere near as one sided as you believe.

For the sake of we the fans, I def hope you are right about not being one sided. He did barely escape a 1st round ko and I really think that fight again revealed as much about what Provo is incapable of as much as what Algieri is capable of. Chris does some things well but he is also a very patchy posing boxer. He gets way too loose and has not looked to have a "middle" game over his last few fights. Either posing, shifting on the outside or going turtle shell and falling in. He reminds me of a guy who spends endless hours shadow boxing and then winking at himself in the bathroom mirror. I dunno, just don't think he is ready for a straight combo hitter of Mannys ilk. You don't need bone crunching power to ko someone, just make him tired of being hit clean. He's a good kid with a good story. Do hope its a good fight.
