RingTV.com has a live, round-by-round update of Saturday's 140-pound bout during which Chris Algieri rose from two first-round knockdowns to score a dramatic upset split-decision victory over WBO titleholder Ruslan Provodnikov at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on HBO.

Algieri out-landed Provodnikov, 288-to-205 in overall punches, 177-to-164 in power shots, and, 111-to-41 in jabs.

Provodnikov (24-3, 16 knockouts) was coming off a 10th-round stoppage of Mike Alvarado, whom he floored twice on the way to winning his belt in October.

The win over Alvarado followed Provodnikov's unanimous decision loss to then-WBO welterweight titleholder Tim Bradley during which Provodnikov scored a 12th-round knockdown in a March bout named "2013 Fight of the Year" by THE RING as well as the Boxing Writers Association of America.

Algieri (20-1, 8 KOs), who stands 5-foot-10 to Provodnikov's 5-6, had correctly expressed confidence that he could duplicate the efforts of Bradley and Mauricio Herrera, the latter whom defeated Provodnikov by unanimous decision in January 2011.
