Jabbing a man in the face 3 or 4 times then getting hit with a hard clean hook and moved halfway across the ring means you just lost the round.
Hulk is absolutely correct... Jabbing a man in the face 3 or 4 times then getting hit with a hard clean hook that moves you across the ring means you just lost the round. But that's not what happened in this fight.
Algieri landed jabs, hooks & uppercuts at will and when Provodnikov threw his wide looping hooks, Algieri was nowhere near. Incredible footwork, head movement, crouching, ducking, ring generalship and clean hard counter punching won the majority of the rounds for Algieri.
Hulk, if all you saw was 3 or 4 jabs then you're blind.
I don't remember all these hooks that moved Algieri across the ring
