Alvarado, Provodnikov Set For War on October 19th - Boxing News
Great matchmaking, this can only be a war really. Glad Provo is getting another big fight, he basically knocked Bradley out to finish their fight. Still don't know how anyone can pick Bradley over Marquez going by the end of that one, he was completely in pieces and may well be going down hard from here imo.
I like Alvarado here. He just needs to approach Provod just as he did Rios, meaning box in spots and trade when you have to.
Alvarado has been talking some shit on twitter saying he's gonna send PRov back to ESPN after this fight.. he says " Welcome back to ESPN bro, you are done " lol...
Prov is a glorified ESPN level brawler who happened to catch Bradley on his bad day and i dont see him repeating a performance such as that one ever again. That fight turned out the way it did due to Bradley's negligence more than anything.
It's not as if Provod performed out of his norm that night cuz he fought exactly the same as he always did. few fights before that, this guy lost to Mauricio Herrera which shows how limited this guy is..
Alvarado is going to have to eat some punches but his punch resistance is proven so he got this fight in the bag as long as he doesn't fight stupid.
I'm going with Alvarado too. If Bradley hadn't tried to walk through Provodnikov he could have won that fight easily. I agree if Alvarado fights smart he wins a decision. It'll be another great fight to watch.
I'll agree with the pick, but I have a hard time knowing what to make of Bradley or Provo just based on their fight. In theory Bradley probably could have boxed and made things easy on himself, but in theory he's a lot better than Alvarado as well. I think that 12th round may have happened regardless of how Bradley fought until then also, Provo will be dangerous here at the least imo.Quote:

I'm still suprised how even off that fight Provo gets dismissed as a guy who 'benifited' cause it was Bradley making the choices?! Bradley fought a dumb fight..went macho as he often does, Provo jumped him and concussed him at least 5 times. Who doesn't fight on ESPN? I mean really, ya gotta start somewhere. Dude grabbed his oppurtunity, jumped a division and beat the bald off Tim. I don't think Tim was making the calls that night so much as trying to remember where his legs were and how they worked. Its just ironic Provo being written off as a glorified brawler in a fight involving Alvarado, and I love me some Alvarado. Awesome gameplan-execution but Rios can be outboxed and sped by a hyped up Kangaroo with a stiff jab.Quote:
