Thread: Provodnikov v Broner!?

Anyone hear anything about this possible match? Just saw Provodnikov over on FB release a date of Oct. 3rd Wishful thinking but a helluva potential fight! Provo stuffs Broners head up his backside if it happens me thinks.

Great fight, hope it's true.

That would be too good to be true! As a bloke , Broner's a cock , no doubt about it. Bus as a fighter at 135 or 140, he's a talent. Provo at 140 would be very competitive. Can Broner keep Provo off him? One mistake we shouldn't make is to think Broner isn't a tough fucker! If it happens, at 140, Broner on points, although Provo will make him dig deep!

Would love to see this fight! All of a sudden Broner is very active, that's a good thing, maybe he thinks he can fill the void after Floyd retires? LOL Hey, don't laugh! Broner has high hopes!!

Give Bazooka Joe bubble gum boy credit.
He's willing to get shellacked AGAIN & AGAIN and keep smiling like an idiot.

Prov will slaughter him!

He has no power up here and prov is as tough ans more pressurising than Maidana!

Really hope it happens.

Maybe he's betting against himself.

Broner will land huge counters and can definitely win rounds but broner also hates pressure and Provo will be doing that all night long. It's a pick em fight but I'll put my money on Provo.

Provo gave Lucas Matthysse all he could handle, and then some.
You think Broner would bother him any?

You could use that same argument by saying that algieri outboxed him and you think that broner can't.

Yeh I can see a Provo mauling and doing very well pushing Broner back on his wide heels. Broner forced into all kinds of exchanges while trying to pot shot and get out at same time. He is no where near active enough. If this is close to made Haymon is definitely giving Broner his 'put up or shut up' papers.

Couldn't see pic very well on mobile this morning but def not 'official'. It would also go head to head with Matthysse v Postol / Orozoco v Soto (awesome scrap

This is a good fight, did not know Arum and Al worked together. Broner has courage to take on another strong fighter. Hope he gets beat again.

Provo isn't with Arum.

Provos people have denied this is being discussed. Hopefully that's a smokescreen because this would be a very interesting fight. Will Broner stay out of the club and put in 100? Will Provo get a few of his molasses slow shots to the target? Will that lead to more and more? Will Broner pick up the pace? Or will Provo overwhelm him and signal the end of Broner?

I see this turning out like Provo vs. Bradley...Broner hanging on for dear life for a points win. Gotta give Broner a lil props for taking tough fights. Still hate his stupid trunks and personality though.

Broner doesn't do a lot but whatever he does throw is going to find the target. Let's face it, Provodnikov isn't a defensive masterclass. I think it goes to the cards and Provo gets a decision if the judges don't fuck it up.

The thing is though I can't see Broner ever making 140 again. They need to tell him if he doesn't make weight the fight is off and put a chunk of dough in escrow which he loses if he doesn't make weight.
