    What can you guys say about Chris Algieri?
    All I know is that he is kinda young and I haven't seen some of his matches yet?

    Is he a good enough opponent for Pacquaio?

    I thought he showed balls of steel in his bout with provodnikov. He was in loads of trouble, but somehow kept it together to stay inthe fight. In my opinion, he lost it and was given a gift for being so ballsy.

    He won't trouble manny imo.

    I think so, I've seen the video on youtube. I think it deserves a rematch.

    I can't see Manny stopping him, Provodnikov dropped him a couple of times but he got straight back up. Don't think Manny has the same explosive power he had back when he fought the likes of Hatton, he hasn't had a KO win for 5 years and I don't think he carries the same power as Provodnikov.

    Can see him boxing his head off though for a big UD. He'll be too fast, footwork too good, he'll be in and out and with fast combos. Although Algieri with his size could cause problems, I expect Pacquiao to win by UD

    I have an inkling that it will be so one sided that the ref will stop it. Algierei is a warrior though.

    Sorry boss. Watched it on youtube this morning.

    Lomachenko hurt his hand.

    Manny won by the widest of wide ud's. Any other ref and my prediction would have been on the money. There was never any danger of Algieri winning. He never won a single second of the fight. On his arse 465 times but kept getting up. Remarkable recovery.

    That left hand in the centre of the ring that floored him was huge, did well to recover from that

    Is it wrong I believe pac-money may actually have a chance of finally happening next year? 5 years too late but still, seems to be more positive vibes about

    I feel like it would be a waste of time now. You are right though. The vibes are there.
