Ruslan Provodnikov...

[Hulk]

Can you imagine the sparring sessions between him and Ray Beltran?

Providnikov should face Matthysse next. It'd be a big statement if Khan tried him.

[p4pking]

He's a killer, tough as nails and really loves to fight. Like how he still goes to the body hard when he smells blood, has a very cerebral approach and some heavy hands. Obviously he can and probably will be outboxed, but he matches up well with all the top 140 guys for now.

Apparently Roach's style is to SWING like a mutha-effer. He WON that Bradley fight. He was robbed. He should rematch Bradley. NOW!!!

[Ron Swanson]

He's one of the better 140lb fighters, not the best. I'd enjoy a Matthyse fight but I doubt that happens.

[powerpuncher]

the problem is that at the moment he is with TR and he isnt going to fight any GB fighters. all i was thinking during the fight was that i hope rios beats pac because a prod vs rios fight would be no question FOTY.

the difference with alvarado is that he is tough and has a good punch but isnt a great brawler. he does better brawling for a while then using his jab. thats how he beat rios. when he brawled with rios, he lost. rios wouldnt step back and try to box with prod. they would be in each others face all fight because neither of them know how to do anything else and both would try to prove that they are more of a man than the other.

Provodnikov is a good fighter.

He's a bit of a plodder and he'll struggle against guys like Bradley who move well, although he pushed Bradley close, that was due to Tim fighting the wrong fight, if Tim had fought like he did against Marquez, it would have been lopsided.

You see? This is the shit I hate- take no offence. People are beginning to BELIEVE, legitimately, that Bradley won that fight. Prov whipped Bradley's ass from the start of the bell in round one right to the end of round 12, LITERALLY.

What next?!?! Trinidad DID beat Oscar DLH? That Bradley DID beat Manny Pacquioa?? Boxing can make me sick to my stomach at times, really!!!

Yes I agree hell he's entertaining, that's was a good fight Saturday blood and guts stuff, he
may well be a slugger, but he gives good value.
