To be honest, Algieri isn't a world-class fighter.

His claim to fame is a gift decision in his hometown over a tough but limited slugger.

He has no power and a weak chin, he lacks the sturdiness we usually find in boxers at the top level. He was saved by the referee from being knocked out by the past prime Manny Pacquiao. He just ran ran from the much smaller man for 12 rounds.

What a pathetic fight it was. Here was a boxer in his prime running away all fight from an older, much smaller boxer.

I'm not impressed with Algieri at all. They should have found a better opponent for Manny.
