Brains vs. Brawn at Barclays Center
Underdog Algieri Hopes to Outsmart Provodnikov Saturday Night
Chris Algieri has a very simple plan for beating Ruslan Provodnikov and walking out of the ring with a stunning upset and the WBO Junior Welterweight Championship belt strapped around his waist Saturday night at the Barclays Center.
“I have to go out there and control the center of the ring. Push the pace and go out there and use my boxing IQ,” Algieri revealed after his workout at Downtown’s legendary Gleason’s Gym Tuesday afternoon.
“I have been preparing for the power by not getting hit.”
