Also it may have been a great fight with Molina but Lucas appeared pretty vulnerable in that fight. If that version turns up vs russian then my money is on the Siberian rocky.

It's a mouth watering fight and after some brutal exchanges I see Provo getting stronger and Lucas looking to back off. Provod style might play into Mathyse hands who knows but providing Provo doesn't mark up I'm siding with him to be too much for Lucas over the distance & win on points
Not a bad prediction. I thought he won closely in the Judah and Alexander fights and never once did he look too frustrated or hurt in those fights. In the Garcia fight, I thought the eye messed him up. However, after the Garcia loss, Matthysse didn't look great against Molina in his first full fight back. Provo punches a lot harder than Molina or Garcia to be honest. Then again, Matthysse at his best is a better boxer than Provo. Great scrap. Winner against Rios?
