Ruslan Provodnikov...

[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.

I dunno mate, they said before the fight that Bradley might go out n have a brawl after his Pac win, a lot of people expected it before the fight.

Even if that was the case, it didnt do him a lot of favours as he lost.

He'll struggle against good movers.

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!!!

i thought that bradley beat prod. if i remember correctly, prod for sure won rounds 1,2,11, and 12. the rest of the rounds seemed clear that they were bradleys. and this is coming from one of the few people that had marquez beating bradley.

I think I had four rounds in that one 10-8 for Provo, including the clearly blown "slip" call. He was in that bad of shape. Provo forced the fight and I honestly believe if Bradley attempted to fight like he did Marquez that Provo would have walked through him and got the stoppage. Bradley was getting hurt regardless of being on the backfoot and he was forced into the exchanges to survive. He wasn't bringing a lot of firepower behind the jabs on Marquez and Provo would not sit in the pocket waiting for counters and matching jabs. Styles, styles. I like Tim, but I think Provo gets him if they rematch. As mentioned a Matthysse, Rios fight would be explosive! Be interesting to see if he stays 140 or goes for mass fight at 147

Don't get this at all, are you scoring it as a boxing match or just going by the last round or something.. Sick to your stomach? Obviously Provo did more damage and won his rounds huge, but I had Bradley pretty well sweeping all of the middle rounds except 5 or 6, whichever he was hurt again in. A draw would've been fair, I'm pretty sure I had it 114-112 Bradley without actually scoring what I'm pretty sure was a knockdown in the first. Definitely a stretch to have Alvarado winning more than 4 rounds of the fight imo, regardless of how clearly he won those.

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.
