Mosley stated a few minutes ago on BoxingVoice Radio that Provodnikov has verbally agreed to the bout and it's now just a question of getting the contracts back.
Who win?
I don't think we should count out Mosely yet. I felt this exact same way before the Margarito fight (regardless of what happened just before the fight and Margarito's mental state at that time). He wasn't looking that good in the fights leading up to that but even given the circumstances, it was a surprising performance.
However, at this point in his career/age he's got a real uphill battle with Provo and likely runs away like the Manny fight.
This is horrible. Shane doesn't need this kind of punishment, he was stopped by Anthony Mundine.I think Shane actually quit in that fight. He just showed up for the money and subsequently retired on his stool after complaining of an injury.
No one else will agree, that's why he had to fight Algieri & Castillo in 2014.
He did not have to fight Jose Luis Castillo. Give me a break. They wanted an old name Ruslan could beat up on. There were dozens of other not shot lightweights he could fight.
There's nothing wrong with Algieri. Algieri was a decent fight going in.
Dang Bo why you going at Provo he has given us some great wars.
He fought Castillo last year and now might fight Shane Mosley? That's bullsh*t. You can get easy fights that don't involve bashing the brains of past greats who don't need that kind of punishment.
So Khan ducked them both? :nonono:
Brook ducked Provodnikov, Mosley, Khan, Alexander, then Rios. Now he fighting a Rios leftover, if he doesn't end up ducking him too.. lol
Didn't Shane said hes gona fight Khan which didn't turn out..?
Anyway if it happen Prov takes it cos Shane is done unless Shane become Hulkquez for that fight then he might knock Prov out but that is unlikely.
Shane will get dragged into a brawl with Ruslan, and although Provo isnt very accurate, when he lands clean... he lands bad, so bad that Mosley may end up going out on a stretcher.
What is it with Provodnikov beating up shot boxers? I hope Mosley somehow has enough left to f*ck him up.

Wow, I think this fight is a huge mistake for Mosley. He is so far past it that Ruslan might end up doing critical damage to him in there. Sorry, this fight has a real bad sound to it, bad for Mosley's well being.
