How good is Provodnikov?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm i remember this thread..............

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...............

He's a C+ level prospect that's it.If he was anything special on the making Arum wouldn't risk him right now.

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

I've never heard of him, is he any good? he is an espn level brawler. at that level he generally wins his fights.

Its just youfair enough.......... but explain this............ what makes Allakhverdiev better then Provodnikov? (in your opinion) btw.......don't run. haha

maybe it's just me but i like Provodnikov over Allakhverdiev............. Its just you

he would have a great shot against ayone els but bradleys one of the p4p best in the world and should win easily I'm hoping for the upset............

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

Is he comparable to Carl Froch in that sense? Lol no, more like an even more average version of Juan Diaz, or Alvarado

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?

Solid combatant. Pressure fighter,aggressive,hard punching, good chin...rugged guy but by no means elite.
