Re: Provodnikov vs. Matthysse.
Unlike nearly all of Matthysse previous threats, Provo is near homicidal with proven power and quicker hands than given credit for. He would NOT go limp or shy away from a fire fight and that would be his downfall. Matthysse can box and he has tempo with adjustment. Of the two he is the thinker. Oh and he hits like a fucking mule kick! Best case, at least now, is these two awesome forces don't cancel each other out and will never fight but if they did vote Matthysse late on.
Re: Provodnikov vs. Matthysse.
Let's put it this way, the fighter that forgets the value of ducking in this potential barn-burner is the loser.
