ALGIERI: “Finding Way To Win Always Been a Major Part of My Style, Strategy”

Algieri Blog Part 4: Friday, November 14

Question for Chris Algieri: Which one of your victories taught you the most about overcoming obstacles inside the ring?

“My 10^th pro bout against Julius Edmonds. I went into the fight with a sore right hand and then broke my left hand in the 2^nd round. Finding a way to win has always been a major part of my style and strategy. I didn’t even tell my coaches I was injured until after the fight. I finished the fight with a 4^th round KO and that truly was one of the biggest obstacles if not the biggest I have ever had to overcome.

“And let’s not forget in my most previous fight against Ruslan Provodnikov. I made a mistake in the first round and I paid for it. I was forced to pay the price and fight the remainder of the fight with a badly swollen eye. But, I still found a way to win. Sticking to the game plan, and staying focused in times of adversity, that’s what separates me from other fighters. My mental make-up and my mental strength has always been the difference in my fights, and that is what will propel me once again to victory on November 22nd.”
