Just watched the Rocky vs Mile High fight again and DAMN Ruslan's hand speed when he is throwing those short POWERFUL shots in combos is very impressive.
Its easy to shoeshine fast shots like that with no power but Rocky fires those shots with hellish leverage and power.
I don't think any of the other bangers around his weight will beat him because of that.
The others might hit harder or just as hard but that hand speed will be too much for them IMO.
Your thoughts?
Love when he throws combos to the body, it's quick AF. he draws his hands back so quick, it barely looks like he makes contact. Just a quick touch, but u can see the effect on the opponent. Going upstairs he's not as fast as others, but he mostly throws straight punches and is able to hang with those who don't.
That's what I was gonna say. He sticks those bodyshots pretty quick. That's probably one of his best assets actually, paired with good power and elite doggedness. If he had done more bodywork like he did on Alvarado in the tim fight he might have got tim outta there

There were a few things to be impressed with about prov. Of all things u pick his hand speed? His hands aren't fast. Even for his explosivness.
His hands are not that fast? What?
Ruslan when punching in combos has got lightning fast hands, especially when he is trying to get you out of there or if you try to trade with him.
I don't know what your watching or what your agenda is, but really how can anyone say he does not have fast hands
When you're a fighter like Ruslan you aren't allowed to have skill, technique, speed, or anything good. You are nothing but a face first plodder who 'fite like drunkin idiets at da bar doe'
Interesting point.
I'm just glad to see Ruslan at the top. For years this guy was written off as an "ESPN fighter". People still try to discredit his performances but he's a beast.

It's sickening, but I'll be having a good time when "p4p top 3" Bradley is seeing ghosts if he ever gets back in the ring with Ruslan.
a sickening stigma.

he's damn explosive
what's scary is you only see that explosiveness when you are hurt or piss him off
for most of the fight(atleast against alvarado) he fights at half speed and intensity, till you are hurt(or piss him off)
he's like a ticking time bomb
Yeah, it's impressive, but probably the reason why he tires and takes a bit to regroup since he throws everything he's got in those shots, but then again it's also the reason why such a fast guy like Bradley had major problems. Ruslan has the handspeed to punch with Bradley, plus the power to shake him up.
