How will Alvarado vs Provodnikov play out-FOTY?

If Provodnikov wins, Danny Garcia has another legit challenger with a title at 140. Ruslan isn't a top rank fighter.

Alvarado will try and outbox him. Perhaps successfully. Perhaps not. I don't expect a FOY.

I'll be at the fight also. I think the game plan for Alvarado is to box but I'm hoping fighting in front of his hometown people makes him slug it out and give us a FOTY candidate.

People have kind of forgotten about this fight. I'm excited for this fight. I haven't seen much of Provo. other than the Bradley fight but if he fights like that this should be a FOTY candidate. You think Provo. will come to slug it out or will he try to box a bit more? I think Alvarado is gonna stick and move. Not gonna trade big shots as much with Ruslan. Still gonna be a good fight though.

i really think mile-high will use his advantages and cut provo up i don't believe this will be the foty like ppl are expecting. provo only stands a chance if mile high fights his fight and mile high learned his lesson after the rios 1 fight.

I can see Mike trying to box...i don't think it will be to long before he's dragged into a brawl though. Can't wait :boxing:

yeah good point, prov did a good job against bradleys boxing bc he waasnt scared of his feather fists nd walked forward. prov will feel alvarados power, mix that w his lateral movements nd boxing in circles, makes it a different story He better hope he pulls out the Rios II blueprint then because if he gets lulled into that Rios I blueprint again then it might be lights out...

Nice... I'm thinking ol' Provodnikov pulls off the KO in this one. He's been dropping fools since his ESPN days and I don't think Alvarado's boxing skills will cause Provo as much problems as Bradley's did. Oughta be a good one! yeah good point, prov did a good job against bradleys boxing bc he waasnt scared of his feather fists nd walked forward. prov will feel alvarados power, mix that w his lateral movements nd boxing in circles, makes it a different story

Good fight, but Alvarado will be able to do the same thing he did against Rios the second time.

I hope so, I shall be there in attendance. Nice... I'm thinking ol' Provodnikov pulls off the KO in this one. He's been dropping fools since his ESPN days and I don't think Alvarado's boxing skills will cause Provo as much problems as Bradley's did. Oughta be a good one!

Dumb comment (run like a *****). No, Mike is gonna outbox him. Why trade with someone who isnt versatile enough to not only brawl but box. I swear fans know nothing about (boxing). If brawling is all u think a fighter should do, I suggest you go watch Kimbo youtube vids.

Alvarado will run like a btch and not engage provo

I hope so, I shall be there in attendance.

alvarado has a bigger frame. prov does have some crazy body torque behind his punches, but if hes learned anything from the rios fights.. thats to box laterally & in circles. which is how i see him fighting prov, with an 8-4 UD

You think Provo. will come to slug it out or will he try to box a bit more? Absolutely excited for this. I kind of see Mikey trying to box given his success in the rematch against Rios.
