i got alvarado. it should be manny vs alvarado and rios vs prov but that makes to much sense

At 147 or 140?

Apparently there were talks about him fighting Alvarado for the WBC LWW title.

I'd prefer it to be at WW doe. I still think he beat Bradley. IIRC there were 1 or 2 KD's that were ruled slips by the incompetent ancient ref.

And I got Ruslan by KO

That's a good fight right there. I got Alvarado. UD.

And yea that senior citizen ref was horrible. They should really have age limits on refs and judges.

I've got Provodnikov IMO he is Rios 2.0

That is how Rios would be if he actually had a brain.

[JOSH OF LA]

Ruslan would beast him. I actually think Rios and Ruslan would be the more interesting style matchup. Or ideally Ruslan and Matthysse.

Alvarado is a good boxer but hes not close to Tim Bradley

And Bradley has heart but he was saved by the bell. He admitted after the fight that he was still dizzy. If that round had 30 more seconds, Prov would've won by KO

I like Alvarado by decision. I can also see Provodnikov winning by KO but no matter what the outcome this fight would be exciting from beginning to end.

[Southpawology]

I like both fighters but the russian takes this one. Also they should put this fight on the undercard of bradley/marquez what a night of boxing that would be!
