    Provodnikov v.s. Rios ?

    I read on here that Rios v.s. Alvarado rubber match would happen but not next. So, Rios can move up, or Provo move down, maybe catch weight. either way slugfest for the ages.

    if it happens provo moves down he was at 140 the fight before, and a perfect fight for rios, right in his face to tagg. but a big risk also.

      Exactly, two straight ahead brawlers coming off losses.

        I think I'd favor Provodnikov. It's not a bad matchup for Rios in that Ruslan is obviously not going to box his ears off, but I think Ruslan has decent enough skills combined with heavy enough hands that he could stop Rios. It's not like Rios will be able to start boxing and moving to survive.

          It'd be FOTY for sure.

          Ending in a KO

          It'll probably feature at least 3 or 4 round of the year's too.

                I'd definitely go with Provodnikov. He's bigger stronger and faster and hits harder. He'd KO Rios. Great match-up if you want to see an all action brawl. Both of them will take some heavy shots and I think a fight between these two would ruin Rios career. He would never be the same after that fight.

                  Rios would win...There is nothing in Ruslans resume that would indicate that he's better than Rios...He's just your typical "unknown" fighter that everyone obsessively nuthuggs along with GGG and Matthyse....like it's the cool thing to do or something when some guy comes out of the blue.

                  Don't get me wrong I like Ruslan but what has he done besides trick Bradley into getting into a brawl with him to indicate he would beat Rios?? Yea he's bigger but still.

                  Rios or Alvarado would stop him in 10
