And he lost. Oh well. Lomachenko.
Reasonable scorecards, even the 117-111 score. There were some rounds that could have swung either way.
Yeah, he's in Ricardo Mayorga territory.Quote:

Class by Provodnikov
To be fair, Mayorga beat better competition and lost to superstars.Quote:

Provodnikov looked a lil shopworn but mostly his usual plodding self. Kudos to Molina who showed he can box.
How did anyone have that fight close. I had Provo winning two rounds. 116-112 would be best case scenario. 115-113 was way too close. Molina easily won 8 rounds, Provo easily won 1 round, and 3 rounds were fairly close.
What a surprise! Who called a Molina win before this fight?
Was a nice little upset and on replay Molina almost made it look easy. Changed his game and was one with the smart work rate and turned it on its head.Quote:

I actually said this same type of thing to my dad during the fight. I think fighters like LaMotta wouldn't have been considered as great if they fought now because what made them great was their iron man mentality and being able to go all out just about every fight. Most fighters now who are like that don't get to show their durability like they used to.Quote:
