This would no doubt be toe-to-toe as long as it lasts. Both guys can fight on PBC and Martinez proved himself against Guerrero/Alexander. I'll take Provo for a SD but Martinez could easily take this.

Intriguing matchup, actually. Neither guy knows how to back down. Martinez is on a tear but can he cope with Provod bombs? Really hard to predict a winner, though I think Provod might break him down in 7.
This right here. A fight with Provodnikov would tell us a lot about Martinez. Chin, heart, focus, and ability to box when needed.
Guerrero and Alexander can't punch like Ruslan can.
I have never seen Martinez fight but 13 fights isn't much experience and Provo is a real monster so I picked him to win by KO. I'll try to find some film on Martinez.
