Ruslan hits harder than Manny and Algeri, swollen eye and all, took this punches and stuck to his game plan for the full twelve.
Exactly what I was thinking. If you are desperate for a knockout, you do pick the guy that got up from being smashed by Provo and ran circles around him. You do what garcia (haymon) did. You pick some no name, unranked, undersized no hoper that can't punch and you walk through his punches and swing for the fences. As for Garcia facing pac, i dont see it. Garcias carriage has already turned back into a pumpkin over the last few, he fell off and hasnt impressed since matthysse. At least Algiera proved he was durable in the last fight and stylistically, not a cakewalk. If mannys smart, he'll blitz him and try to catch him cold...
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
