Provodnikov/Algieri

[Indeep]

Anyone seen Algieri fight before? It doesn't look like he has any power at all (7 ko's) so it looks like a huge mismatch on paper if he can't backup Provodnikov who is an absolute beast. Laying way to much juice(-650) to bother with.

[The HOFF]

He has 4" in height and 6" in reach on Provodnikov. He'll have to box and try to run the whole fight though. Waiting for round and ITD props for Provodnikov.

Too much juice on Andrade as well.

Exactly Hoff, and then even if he does manage to avoid and outbox Provodnikov the whole fight, I wonder if he would get the decision.

Algieri is no joke. He didn't have to take this fight. His team believes that he can out point Provodnikov. He is a very intelligent guy inside & outside the ring.

Algieri is worth the shot at these odds. Better boxer than provo. As long as algieri stays away from getting pulled into a brawl, he should make a good showing. Now as far as getting a fair shake in a decision, i would be skeptical. Regardless, why play provo at those odds? No money. Anyone got the provo by k.o prop?

I plan on playing Provo via TKO & Algieri via Dec.

What round are you thinking for TKO? I figure 6 or 7. Provo is just relentless. Just ask Tim Bradley

Its kind of Like a Malignaggi vs Shawn Porter matchup. Malignaggi was a better boxer, but could only stay out of harms way for so long, and Showtime Shawn took him out.

This is a very difficult fight to predict. Algieri always keeps his hands up & has good head & foot movement. He is also good at cutting angles both offensive & defensive. If Algieri had more punching power I would make him the favorite. Believe it or not Algieri really does have a shot at winning. I can't wait to see how this fight plays out.

I'm not sure if you can take much out of the bradley-provo fight tho. Bradley could have easily outboxed provo. Instead, he willingly stayed inside provo's wheelhouse to prove a point. In no way am i comparing Bradley's boxing skills to Algieri, but provo is rather rudimentary when it comes to pure boxing. His grit and power are world class tho. Also, as relentless as provo is, he definitely tired in the later rounds of that fight.

This is algieri's only way to victory. Provo too hard nosed to get ko'd.

It's seems like the only play other than a ko prop on Provo. I might take both as a hedge if the juice pans out, as I think one or the other is pretty certain

Not sure I agreed with the decision, but I'll take the $$

[Das Jax]

Yeah, I was pretty pumped about this as I bet the decision prop at +975. Now if only I'd had the stones to bet more than half a unit...
