(Photo courtesy Star Boxing (by Rich Villa) By Chris Williams: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum thinks tonight’s underdog Chris Algieri (19-0, 8 KO’s) has a good chance of pulling off an upset against WBO 140-pound champion Ruslan Provodnikov (23-2, 16 KO’s) in their fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Arum also would likely to match Algieri up against his fighter Manny Pacquiao. Algieri vs. Pacquiao. Arum didn’t say when and where he’d like to stage that fight, but I assume he’s hoping to put it in Macao, China in November.
