Ruslan vs Brandon

I hope this fight gets made.

perks of being a punching bag I guess. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

FOTY material for sure. Both guys have had a string of brutal fights..and this one won't be easy for any guy either. It would be a fun fight for sure, i'd have to go with Ruslan though.

Ruslan does look vulnerable to the uppercut, which is probably Rios's best punch... But as a number of people have been saying, Rios has just been in too many tough fights recently to go against an incredibly tough punishing fighter like Ruslan who looks to be the better all-round fighter anyway. Rios is a genuinely popular fighter and taking a couple of easier fights to build himself back up should be the plan by his management. A Provodnikov fight now would likely finish his career.

Fight of the Year candidate if it happens. I imagine Provodnikov would be a decent size favorite.

Too much wear and tear on rios already, someone should take him aside and talk to him. It's great for us fans that he wants to fight the best but this is a war he won't win. Needs a tune up fight to get on the right track but, I guess it's all about the money as well! Ruslan is a machine that won't stop and rios can take a beating, rios might seriously get hurt after this one!

I mentioned before that Max Kellerman commented on such a fight on his radio show.. He said something like, "This is the most violent fight that can be made. It would be such a great fight that you'd feel dirty watching it. It would be ****ographic in nature. Like it's something you know you shouldnt be watching, but you cant look away" That pretty much sums it up. Please make this happen Bob.

Wow, If this match materializes It could very well be the end of Rios career. He has been through some hellish wars and this one could be the last. Rios needs to walk away and take a long rest because Provodnikov Isn't going to let him off the hook like Pacman did.

ruslan chews rios up and spits him out like bubble gum... rios career would probably end if he takes one more beating...

For a PAC main event against either Bradley or Marquez With Adonis/kovalev and rios/ruslan under cards I'd pay $100

Good god this would be carnage. I wouldn't be for writing Rios off at all. If Ruslan wants to stay in the phone booth with him he's going to have to pay a big price for the privilege.

would be a great fight. I think Ruslan breaks down Rios and hurts him bad

Bam bam needs a break from this level of boxing. Even when he wins he takes some of the worst beatings. His last 4 fights he's taken a beating in every one of them. I really hope someone on his team tell him to leave this fight alone, Ruslan will manhandle rios. Rios isn't good enough for "easy fights" either, to me looking for a easy one isn't even a option for him anymore. He needs to take time off and make sure his body gets some real rest, and more importantly make sure it responds the way it use to.

We found out against Pacquiao that Bam Bam has no balls, it's all talk. Provodnikov has more balls than he can count, an old school warrior. Provo ****s Bam Bam up.

I think rios might take it on workrate.

So they both posted the exact same tweet to each other, same notation areas and everything. ....Cool Sorry about that. I made a mistake on my copy/paste. It has been corrected guys!

Who knows... Ruslan cuts, but it'll be a war of attrition

this is gonna be insane...to come forward fighters with balls of steel....can not f'n wait for this one

can't miss fight. those two will slug it out until somebody breaks down.

Is Rios banned here in the USA for any length of time? This fight would be awesome. I have Provo by KO. Just China I think...and for 6 months from the time he fought
