Mike Alvarado vs. Ruslan Provodnikov: Your thoughts & predictions?

[gatorDelux]

I think I read somewhere that Freddie might not even be in Provodnikov's corner since he's working with Pacquiao. I don't know how much of an affect this will have if any..

imo it will only affect prov as mush as prov lets him

freddy isnt a great corner imo

great trainer, goes without saying

If Provo hurts and drops him he will win a TKO or tight points win IMO, if Alvarado stays on his feet i think he will win enough rounds on the scorecards to keep his title. This will be a war though. better than Garcia vs Lucas, better than JMM vs Bradley and much better than Floyd vs Canelo. And its not even on PPV. Gold Bless cable.

Alvarado by decision. I dont feel confident at all about it though.

alvardo looked real dry and face pretty drawn in ... still has to shed 1lb lets see how this effects his performance. personally thinking ruslan's taking this though

I want to say provodnikov has this, but I cant imagine mike having any trouble landing that right hand vs Provo the way he did against rios. Right hand really was a thing of beauty, was accurate, was fast, he didn't load it, landed it at will.

Alvarado will also receive a cut of ticket sales and Provodnikov next fight will be televised by HBO win or lose.

1.3M? i dont even think matthysse got that much vs danny. But good payday for alvarado he deserves it.
