Im pretty sure Provo sparks out John Molina Jr. fairly quick, could be wrong but I dont see that one going far. But with that said, do you think Spence could be the first guy to KO/TKO Provodnikov?
I think this fight would be great for free T.V. smart $ is on Spence via UD. I dont like deeming people great until they have taken on all styles and Provo provides a rugged in your face type of style Id like to see Spence take on. Thoughts??
Personally id say Brook & Thurman would be slight favorites in my eyes right now but if Spence totally dominates, hurts Ruslan, & takes his best punch than honestly id favor Spence over both guys. People like to call fighters "the next big thing" without seeing them face different styles or adversity. Ruslan brings both. Haymon pays "opponents" well so lets hope he offers the Russian nice $ to test his guy & put it on FREE t.v.
agreed on all fronts
Good point. If I can see Spence thoroughly dominate Ruslan and maybe even take a couple of punches in return with no problem, then I'll be crown him. I still think he'd beat Thurman right now because he'll dictate the fight. He's 50/50 with Brook for me though.

Im not honestly, thats why i think if Spence KO or even TKO'S him, thatll tell us a lot. Itll also tell us something about Spences beard because no way does he go through a scrap with Ruslan and not get hit clean a few times

Yall are underrating Ruslan's beard. Matthysse was lighting him up, but never dropped him. Spence would have to force the ref to come in or destroy his body. It'll be tough though because Spence will be facing the first guy that can take his power and that can deliver power back.
It's not as easy as some of yall think and I rate Spence highly

Man Idk...Ruslan is an animal....but if Spence keep going to the body early he.might get the stoppage....we all know Ruslan aint hitting the canvas.
U never know man, i think Spence is a big young guy, he even puts Ruslan down, he will definitely be "the truth" in my eyes. Right now hes just a very talented prospect.
Yes he was, but did he ever look like he was going down....once?
I'd bet on spence ud, but the real question is...how's spence's beard?
If its even slightly questionable, provo walking him down is a very good possibility...
I agree bro, id really would like to see this fight. Good for boxing on free TV. U.S. olympian vs. A Rugged Russian. Haymon could put Beterbiev vs another American on the card & itd do good ratings im sure :boxing:
No doubt Provo has a GREAT beard but against Mattysse he was hurt a couple times & i think if he wouldve pressed it he couldve gotten a stoppage but Ruslans dangerous & Mattysse had to fight smart.

Spence would seriously hurt Povetkin,Povetkin is to small and to limited
Spence is beating heavyweights now?? Povetkin a HW. U r slippin Larry lol but i knew what u meant.
KO's him? :lol1:
Ko's the siberian rocky? :lol1:
KO's the best chin in all of boxing? :rofl:

I agree for the most part but do you think he KO's him?
I wouldn't put it past him. Probably not KO but I see Spence just drubbing Ruslan and the ref calling it because the one thing that Ruslan has is a set of iron balls and a huge heart so he's going until he dies in the ring
Algieri was able to out box Ruslan for 10rds imagine what Spence would do combine that with the power it's a easy night for Errol In my opinion.
If Spence has a solid chin, I think Ruslan gets ripped to pieces. There's no reason for Ruslan to go searching for that fight, he should try to get a Bradley rematch after Molina.
