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.
awesome fight.
Would be a great card if Garcia vs Gamboa was fighting the same night!
Great action fight, but it's kinda sad that 2 losses in a row gets you a title shot...
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.
Rios is sh@t.
And 3 of 4 because we all know Abril beat him with ease.Quote:

Rios could surprise us though with his constant pressure.
Good fight hope it is not on ppv. The top rank merry go round continues.
At top rank anything is possible.Quote:

This is a fantastic fight. I see Provo potentially stopping Rios.
Provodnikov wins by KO surely?
Rios has a very good chinQuote:

I can't even think of a division that Rios could make and be top level in. Can he make 140, I'm not sure? He was taking crap to get his doughy muffintop down to 147.Quote:

My thoughts exactly. As much as I don't really like this kid, I almost feel bad for him considering the permanent damage he'll most likely sustain standing in their with Provo. he already has trouble remembering the name of all his kids....Quote:
