Provodnikov vs Porter--- who takes it?

KING_MEAT12y ago

i know, i know.. tr/hbo - sho/gbp but who takes this home run derby bout at either 40 or 47?

If Oscar truly believes that he and Bob can work together again I will definitely pay for this fight if it's PPV. Provotnicov vs Porter, both likable dudes with killer instinct and leave nothing in the ring? What not to like? I like Porter been following his fights ever since he started sparring with Manny. The thing I don't like about Porter is he swings wildly sometimes, and with Freddy as Provs trainer he will train Prov to time that looping right hand. Both have power on both hands, but I'm leaning more on Provotnicov because his punches are shorter and more compact and he works downstairs and upstairs with good chin as well. He easily get bruise and cut though.

provo is the breaker of wills... he will take your fcking soul before decapitating you. Then he'd congratulate you, because he's a good hearted guy. I really hope his promoter takes him over to Showtime soon as there isn't much for him at HBO - Arum didn't want the Rios fight, Marquez turned it down and he and Pacquiao train together... would be good to get some fresh matchups.

A WW that hits like a powerful Middleweight and moves like a Lightweight and has fought at JMW...vs a JWW that hits hard, has a good chin and comes forward. Picture Prov-Bradley but Bradley having power. That's Shawn Porter. Bradley with power, and also a bigger Bradley, weight wise.

12y ago

Porter would beat the crap out of Provodnikov.

12y ago

Porter i think would rack up an early points lead, but his style would leave him in range of ruslan, and i think ruslan could pull out a come from behind stoppage late...

:lol1: Nobody beats Provodnikov easily. It'd be a war. Either man could come out on top. provo is the breaker of wills... he will take your fcking soul before decapitating you.

Ruslan. We've seen Ruslan in some wars and know he can take it. I don't think Porter has been in anything quite like that Bradley war.

lol love that display pic, that guys smile is cool, smiling with his eyes. Whats his name? anyway. This toprank goldenboy crap is ruining a lot of potential fights. its dumb, and annoying, I hope it don't last Lol... Leo Santa Cruz. :boxing: Yeah, it's garbage... first quarter of 2014 has been filler...

Porter beat Provo. And he probably does it easily. :lol1: Nobody beats Provodnikov easily. It'd be a war. Either man could come out on top.
