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

[WARQUEZ]

Ruslan by decapitation.

[Southpawology]

Leaning towards mile high mike SLIGHTLY, reasons:

1. fight is at 140

2. Its in mikes hometown

3. Ruslan swells/cuts incredibly easy


VERY Tough fight though for both

[STREET CLEANER]

Provo is not better than Rios so I'm going with Alvarez in this fight

[Hougigo]

It'll either be Alvarado by late stoppage or decision.... I'll elect a stoppage.
Provo having to cut back down there and Alvarado will be moving around this fight

[soul_survivor]

I chose undecided because this fight is a real toss up, as 50/50 as it gets. Both men are riding high after exceptional performances last time out but add to that both men hit hard, have good chins and I just can't pick 'em. Yeah Mike has the slightly better skill, a better jab and better footwork but how will he react when Prov lands at a consistent basis and comes through his punches?

This is just SO damn close

I'll go with 50/50 on the fence as I'd be lying if I said I'd seen an awful lot of Ruslan. From what I have seen he has rounds off, full rounds and a lot of where he does literally nothing, I've gotta assume his stamina is poor.

If hes in shape and comes to fight, I think he stops Avocado in a war.

No I can't call it but I expect a slightly cautious Avocado to be attempting to box with Ruslan pressuring and spending a lot of time doing little. When he works, he'll wreck Avocado I am just not sure he can maintain it.

Intriguing fight.

[Larry the boss]

I think Ruslan stops him,he is the better fighter imo

[Rome-By-Ko]

Rocking with Alvarado in this fight..Just feel he's the better fighter and it will show..Alvarado by decision..

[Bushbaby]

Alvarado wins this fight however it goes down.

[JoeKidd]

Boring fight. Alvarado by points. No way Alvarado stands and trade.
