The more attention that is drawn to any of the fighters, especially in a positive way, is good for the sport.
Chris AlgieriI have had to fight every single style coming up on my way to get here I wasn't fed anyone in any point of my career. I fought every style you could think of - righty, lefty, tall, short, power-puncher, fast guys, counter guys, so for me it is the norm - training for guys with different styles.
Chris AlgieriI knew my time would come I just had to stay focused and disciplined and if you work hard good things happen. I am right where I am supposed to be.
Chris AlgieriTony [Walters] was one of the first international world-class athlete I had ever dealt with and I was lucky enough to have him as a coach and he taught me a lot about the mental aspects of training and competition.
Chris AlgieriIt's great to see part of my culture doing so well in the sport that I'm involved in, a sport that I have a passion for. I grew up hearing about a lot of Argentine fighters, the great Carlos Monzon and even the fighters on ESPN lime Omar Vaez; and now guys like Marcos Maidana and Sergio Martinez.
