Here I translated the whole interview if someone wants to read it but Juan did a good job at summarizing the thing. Brilliant mate! Thanks very much! Muchas gracias amigo!.

Probably the smart thing to do, but at some point it will turn into a inside firefight. By that point Provo will be gasping and probably get beat up til he's stopped.

Here I translated the whole interview if someone wants to read it but Juan did a good job at summarizing the thing. The historical Juan Martin “whip” Coggi who’s part of team Matthysse confessed how he trains Lucas for his upcoming April bout with the Russian Ruslan Provodnikov. “We want to avoid him, keep pawing him, use the waist and work on the back foot.” He summarized. “There’s no fight or war that can be won without strategy and acknowledging the rival. We’re doing a very good job.” Coggi assured, following up with: “Lucas starts off cold so we’re doing a special job to warm him up well in the dressing room, but we don’t want to overdo it.” “Whip” Coggi is a specialist in describing the rival’s mistakes and works from there. “We have Provodnikov well studied; we know he stops after the 5th round. He was a fighting rhythm up until the 4th, 5th and after that he stops; he stops being consistent with his attack. Looking back at his fight against Algieri (august 2014) serves me as an example” commented. “Ruslan is a rival who moves forward so you cannot fight with him, you cannot crash onto him nor apply strength with him, he’s like a “Russian Drago” (from the Rocky movie); He’s all strength, power, steel and punches. However, Lucas' job is about speed, agility and legs.” Said Coggi, contrasting the Russian with the 32 year old Argentinean. On april 18th Crawford-Dulorme will fight for the vacant WBO Jr welterweight title but the fans know that night will be simply Matthysse-Provodnikov. As far as the fight goes, Coggi detailed the exercises that they’re implementing since a few weeks ago at the Gomez Junin creek “We’re training so that Provodnikov doesn’t trap him, doesn’t catch him and never catches him standing still. We want to avoid him, keep pawing him, use the waist and work on the back foot. It is true thatMatthysse is very temperamental but he listens well and isn’t dumb.” For now, Coggi has decided that sparring will be with new boxers, almost inexperienced. “These new sparring partners are all Provodnikov-like a bit clumsy and unorthodox. We have to have in mind that it’s hard to hit Lucas flush but he will hit you and hard. You can go back to the fight where they robbed him against Devon Alexander.” Working on strength with Lucas is pointless; 36 wins and 34 Kos, he’s already strong, the courage, heart and power is already there with him. We just have to give him speed, and focus, that’s it. Lucas is a lot like me, he suffers from homesickness. He doesn’t like being outside his country” said the historical Juan Martin “whip” Coggi from team Matthysse

Smart. This is the kind of fight that can devolve quickly into a carnal, blood drunk, killing field. While I want that, that kind of fight ends their careers. Still want to see Matthysse get a strap. Tranny's not returning to 140. So sometime in the next 6 months, he'll have to vacate. Viva Matthysse!! ;)

alright man i will help you out as best as i can.... he says that they want to avoid ruslan,counter punch,and use good upper body(defense)..practically box more. he does recognize and sees that ruslan is a tough come foward fighter and you cannot fight him toe to toe.power and brute force(hence the drago analogy). they have studied ruslan and he did notice that ruslan tends to slow down after the 4-5th round as he noticed in the algeri fight. they will try to avoid lucas from getting trapped they will use lucas' differential atributes which are: agility,speed,and his legs. he says that lucas can be tempermental but he isnt stupid and listens to the gameplan. Glad to hear that, if Lucas can make it to the 5th round, Ruslan should be ripe for the picking.

you're welcome, candidate for fight of the year ..can't wait :boxing:

Thanks buddy!!. Appreciate it!!,the google translation really didnt make much sense and my spanish isnt that good. Anyways i cant wait for this fight,im a Matthysse fan,interesting insight there!.
