Great work by Manny. I was worried that he wouldn't take the fight seriously but he proved me wrong. He dominated the fight but I really think what won him it was the angles. Chris is so inexperienced that whenever Manny changed an angle on him he got pegged. Chris didn't have to do this with Provodnikov because of two reasons 1. The most obvious reason is because he only knows how to fight forward and is only effective when his opponent is directly in front of him. The other reason is that unlike Manny Provodnikov is a fighter that is not known for activity. For example if you watch his match against Tim Bradley you will see that in round 2 he nearly completely gassed himself out when he threw what about 70 punches. Manny was just a different fighter who Algieri was just not ready to fight. This match really won't do anything to Pacquiao's legacy because in reality Pacquiao has already beaten admittedly much better fighters; to name a few Cotto, Morales, Barrerra, even Clottey. I really can't put De La Hoya or Mr. Mosley on the list because they were both ancient at the time they fought Pacquiao. Still a good win; should it put him at fighter of the year level? No. I honestly don't and personally I believe it should be a jumble between Terrance Crawford, Kovalev, and Cotto. That is just how I see it though. Makes me wonder where Algieri is going to go from here. Personally I'd like to see a rematch with Prodnikov or maybe put him up with Herrera. I believe Pacquiao could either be the learning force that either helps his career, or the missle that destroys it. Only time will tell.
