Dan Rafael reported that Broner-Provodnikov is in negotiations. Who wins it?

[SUBZER0ED]

If Broner continues his low output, posing style, Provodnikov will destroy him. However, If AB actually uses his boxing skills effectively, he has a good shot of winning by decision.

[MasterPlan]

Broner out boxes him like he did John Molina. Provo is not a very smart boxer and AB can be when he wants too.

[HanzGruber]

Oh so this wasn't some joke!? Hmm, I need to go check ESPN. If real i'm gonna lose my mind


Edit: Didn't see anything about this but saw Gus Johnson is gonna be doing some stuff on PBC. Good news, always liked Gus

He said it on his chat. Dan said ruslan might get a showtime deal or something

[Eff Pandas]

From Chino to Porter to Provo.

It's official, Haymon is trying to merk AB.

I could see this being an easy or horrible night for Broner. He's gonna need to work on ****ing moving better cuz if Prov catches him one too many times its curtains. The bull vs matador analogy by the OP seems spot on, but I'd give the bull better odds than in your typically bullfight here.

[John Locke]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and pick AB by close decision. Prov just isn't very good.

[b00g13man]

I'd love to see it. Broner beatings can't come soon enough.

[torosboxing75]

This would be very fun to watch. I think Provo finishes AB's career.

Yeah, well neither is broner.

Prov steamrolls broner. Broners only chance at winning is stopping provs paper thin face on cuts/swelling which I can see happening.

[WarVeteranO01]

Ive said it once, and Ill say it again, I dont like Broner at all but the kid is a fighter. The bums he has fought and the catchweights were strictly his management, I think they knew he wasnt that good but Broner himself I dont think he will back down from any fight. But with that said, Broner mustve pissed off Haymon, because this is a last stand kinda match up. I wouldve thought Broner wouldve fought Guerrero

I just said in another thread that Haymon might actually hate Broner enough to do this. I guess he really does lol.

Edit: There is nothing on his twitter about this. If you're trolling to get interest in this match up... well played.

What's next up for Broner?

Dan Rafael, King Fight Freak (12:12 PM)



I have heard that there is a possibility of a Novemberish fight with Provodnikov, who I am told is in discussions for a deal at Showtime. It's possible that fight could kick off a deal if a deal is made. We'll see.
