Provodnikov vs. Rios targeted for end of May/start of June
Not surprisingly, I heard this is likely going to happen to continue the Top Rank Welterweight Merry-Go-Round. I'm surprised Arum didn't try to sell this to HBO as a Super 6, or more like a Super 3-Average 3 type tournament. Anyways, it should be a good action fight, but my money would be with Provodnikov on points.

Where's the ticketmaster number? ;D If it's in Carson and happens to fall after finals week, I will be there.

Would be a great card if Garcia vs Gamboa was fighting the same night!
Re: Provodnikov vs. Rios targeted for end of May/start of June
Great action fight, but it's kinda sad that 2 losses in a row gets you a title shot...
Re: Provodnikov vs. Rios targeted for end of May/start of June
Provo deserves a lot better than that cackling fat bag of sand. Network rewards hoping on a fury from Rios he left in his hotel room last time.
Re: Provodnikov vs. Rios targeted for end of May/start of June
This will be a hell of a fight. I'd expect Provodnikov to hurt Rios, maybe drop him and win by decision.
Rios could surprise us though with his constant pressure.

Good fight hope it is not on ppv. The top rank merry go round continues.
Re: Provodnikov vs. Rios targeted for end of May/start of June
With the shortage of options for Top Rank/HBO it was inevitable that this fight gets made at some point. Provodnikov wins. They've got him in a holding pattern for Manny.
Re: Provodnikov vs. Rios targeted for end of May/start of June
This is a fantastic fight. I see Provo potentially stopping Rios.

Provodnikov wins by KO surely?
