Man that was a bad ass face off. Ruslan looked like he was about to commit murder and Mile High was calm, collected and confident. They about to go at it.
Mike will probably stop Provo. Provo has never faced a guy with anywhere near the power of Mike. Provo is going to get hit like he's never been hit before by a bigger guy.
I'll be surprised if he doesn't get stopped by cuts or just laid out.
Provodnikov going in with the wrong mindset. I think Mikey's gonna dance on him, and outbox him.
That's exactly what's gonna happen... It'll be a more embarrassing version of Rios/Alvarado 2
Alvarado might even stop him
But if Ruslan hits as hard as Bradley made him look, than the excitement will always be there
Props to the Russian for admitting he lost to Bradley. I love his attitude hat he brings in the ring. He's just going to keep fighting untill the other fighter loses his will to fight. That type of attitude takes massive balls you almost literally have to be ready to die in the ring. This fight is going to be a war but I think Mike wont stand toe to toe with the Russian and will win a decision against him just like he did to Rios by doing some running . Alvarados tough but he can't win in a war of wills he didn't with Rios and he won't with the Russian.
Rios and The Russian both have the same type of heart and mental approach going into a fight. If they both lose their next fights they'll probably be matched up with each other. I can see that fight being a Corrales vs Castillo type of fight.
This is exactly what is was thinking, good break down and spot on IMO

True, but I think Mikey has enough dimensions in his game to make Prov look like a FNF fighter. Bradley was STUPID in their fight.
If he fights like how he did in the Rios 2nd fight he definitely has a great chance and he is the more skilled boxer IMO but if Provodnikov applies smart pressure the question for me is will Alvarado be able to keep himself from getting into a firefight.... if he can't, I think Provodnikov ices him.
We'll see
is Alvarado THAT multifaceted? he'll get drawn into a firefight sooner than later and that's when the fun begins
this is a pickem fight for me
He's more multifaceted than Prov, but I agree, if he gets into a dogfight with Prov, that's when the fun begins.
great face off, really excited for this coming weeks of boxing, i wasnt excited for Canelo vs May the entire time, but for Marquez vs Timmy, Rado vs Provo, n Rios vs Pac are all gona be exciting interesting matches toss up winners
i think this fight Provo wins it, but Alvarado has some skills n decent power, its a toss up
Probably. But it makes for great entertainment and hell it worked for him against Bradley, Bradley clearly won without the Knockdowns but don't forget I think there was 2 Knockdowns that the referee missed, 1st and 6th rounds and if he would of got those Provo probably had enough points to win.

And that's why he'll always lose to the multifaceted guys.

Not sure if Provodnikov knows how to fight another way
I love this fight, put this on ABC on Saturday night and you will gain more fans to boxing.
gonna be a war, if Ruslan's stamina improved like Roach said, than this guy is going to be a monster.
Rusland had the Bradley fight but he took rounds off his weakness is his stamina his cardio needs to improve and he needs to learn not to waste punches sometimes he gets over aggressive and he will gas. apply intelligent pressure.
