Algieri got schooled by Professor Pacquiao, says Freddie Roach

Prior to Manny Pacquiao's fight with Chris Algieri, the Filipino ring icon's trainer Freddie Roach was vocal in saying that the American fighter didn't stand a chance.

 

On Sunday, Roach was proven right as Pacquiao completely dominated the fight, knocking down Algieri six times en route to a dominant decision win.

 

After the fight, Roach couldn't help but give one more jab to the Algieri camp.

 

"The master boxer was given a master class by Professor Pacquiao," said Roach.

 

Algieri holds a master's degree and an ambition to become a doctor once his boxing days are over. All week in the build-up, his trainer Tim Lane had been declaring that he would destroy Pacquiao by "master boxing". — Report from Agence France-Presse
