A look at what happened in the second round of the bout between Manny Pacquiao and Chris Algieri.
Pacquiao was able to continue to build quite successfully and then caused some swelling around Algieri’s eye. During the round, as Pacquiao came forward with a punch, it appeared that Algieri slipped on a wet logo in the corner as Pacquiao landed a punch. As he fell, the referee counted what looked like a slip as a knockdown, spotting Pacquiao another point on the cards.
Pacquiao’s hand speed has been impressive through two rounds, and he landed a very hard right hand in the round that caught Algieri’s attention.
Algieri did land his own right and was looking to work the jab, but he needs to be more dynamic offensively if he’s going to find any rounds on these scorecards.
SB Nation has the round 10-8 Pacquiao with the knockdown and the fight at 20-17 for Pacquiao after two.
