Algieri deserves full credit and major respect, because the kid showed HUGE heart. He got off the deck and took charge with an eye that was closing rapidly since the first round. Reminded me of JMM/Pac 1.
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.
