He s better than a lot of people say on the whole. He is a strong puncher, durable and a pressure fighter but he is also slower that Tim, too open to counters, and too straight-lined in his attack. Tim should win a very wide UD but that doesn't mean that Ruslan is trash, just not on the level of Tim.
Not the greatest opponent,not the worst either..Solid C+ kinda fighter,but not in Bradley's class..Not even close,Bradley should win this 10-2..But Prov will be motivated and will give his all..Which is all you can ask of him anyway..
He has greater ring intelligence and is a more accurate puncher.
I'll see what he has vs Prescott...................
I'll be taking some notes...............
fair enough..........
but explain this............
what makes Allakhverdiev better then Provodnikov? (in your opinion)
btw.......don't run.
haha
Just about everything. He's quicker, a better counter puncher, more accurate, more intelligent, has much more effective pressure, better defense and despite his KO ratio also has better power. Also fought and beat much better fighters
Now tell me what Ruslan does better
Its just youfair enough..........

The fight is a mismatch. Provodnikov is an aggressive but limited fighter, not world-class. He's lacks power, athleticism, and technical skill, although he does have heart and a good chin.
He'll make Bradley look good.
There are much better Russian fighters at 140 such as Khabib Allakhverdiev and Denis Shafikov (who is actually having his next fight at 135).
maybe it's just me but i like Provodnikov over Allakhverdiev.............
I thought Provodnikov was going to be one of those well schooled but unheralded Russian fighters who is always capable of the upset. Seems not...
No not at all, he's been fighting in the US and on FNF for like 3 years now. He's a perfect FNF level opponent

Never seen him on FNF? He's a completely average brawler/pressure figher with great determination and heart
Is he comparable to Carl Froch in that sense?
