Re: Crawford vs Algieri for 4/18
Safe way to test the waters of a higher weight against a non puncher and fast track to a title at the same time. Problem with Algieri is while he's good boxer, you only need to lay glove on him to get him on the run and keep him on the run to outwork him down the stretch. Provo's face first aggression gave Algieri too much to hit and the judges too much to think about. If crawford cant carry any power up though.... things could get interesting.
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.
