HBO - ALVARADO v PROVODNIKOV- Saturday Night Fight CHAT THREAD

[Kirkland Laing]

I was rooting for Alvarado but realistically. Although I'm a bit bummed Prod seems like a truly decent guy. The west coast of the US must seem like heaven after eating all that raw fish and dear heart.

Deer heart is a beautiful meal done correctly. And you can't beat a bit of sashimi.

No doubt Kirk, but it tastes a lot better in nice weather with a bunch of money

Acline looks like hes doing well against Chavez jr part 2

Next time we, fans dismiss or doubt a guy as "hes just a ESPN guy"..think twice. You don't know what you are until you earn the oppurtunity to shine!

Compliment to the sport both of these dudes!

Well said. I thought Alvarado was on his way to outboxing Providnikov, but he is a heavy handed lil monster and wore Mike down.

Matthysse vs. Provodnokov !!!

He was tight and right inside early on...not that preservation backfoot boxing. He was never that. Provo is a trip! Lets it all hang out, every tight hook has impact on it. Good for the sport.

Deer heart is superlean meat that you cube up and cook in a casserole with lots of fresh veg. Brilliant winter food, sticks to your ribs. A good deer heart is the size of an American football. To do it properly you cook it completely stoned while wearing your rainbow flag Speedos.

I've actually eaten it. I wouldn't go out of my way to do so again but it wasn't bad. I also lived in China for a while and ate scorpions and a few other things that might bring cringed.
I want to find out how I can send Alvarado a message so I can tell him he's still my boy

Omar was lucky he shared his fathers name.

Can you guys imagine how a Brandon Rios vs Provodnikov fight would go? Could be this decade's Ward/Gatti. Unlikely to happen though, due to the fact that Rios will PROBABLY lose to Pac.

While setting in a nice restaurant eating dear heart harvested and prepared by someone else!

two thumbs up to both fighters!!! tough son of bitches!!! it doesnt matter that alvarado quit, he did his best and was taking too much punishment. he has an iron jaw!! and courage. he was wise to quit. no dishonor whatsoever. Prov was a beast tho. I love this guy. a true warrior!!! a russian rocky....

no one is gonna want to fight him....

[SugarBoxing]

Bad defense from both fighters, sloppy slow, but heavy punches
No "hidden" punch strategy , just pure brawl, very common orthodox offense, very readable
Danny Garcia would outbox and KO both of them

Then you can be sure PAC will avoid Prov to avoid similar fate as in JMM fight. Excuse already in order as he is trained by Roach. Funny how all have forgotten how bad Pac ate the canvas in last fight. In addition unsure of Rios physical condition under Heredia . According to Pac huggers Heredia gets all the credit for KNTFO of Pac or perhaps he is the the miracle lucky punch trainer.

Really? I thought he won pretty easily.

Good fight, thanks for the vid link.

Thought Prov fought smart in regards to pacing it and cutting off ring etc, figured he knew what the fight was going to turn out like and reserved himself for what he knew he could do later on with something in reserve. He has a good corner reminding him to go to the body in the fifth,you saw the tide start to turn soon after when Alvarardos footwork and movement were still double the pace of Provs in retreat but not really taking him anywhere special.Both brave men, tough fight.
