    Matthysse slaughters him. Don't let the Bradley fight fool you, Provodnikov is an ESPN fighter.

      Lucas would possibly be in a position where he need to box. Provo is pretty strong.

        I totally agree. I like Ruslan but he's been made out to be some great fighter after the Bradley fight. He's tough and he's strong but he's easy to hit and that's a major problem against Matthysse. Matthysse stops him by before he 8th.

          Matthysse is better in every way. Ruslan is being gassed up because of 1 fight.

          Everybody was calling him an ESPN level fighter before the TB fight

            I don't think he could beat Lucas, He is good but still not proven to be in the ring with a puncher like Matthysse.

                Wow, I forgot I even made this thread.

                Lucas is not a mover. That is why Ruslan wins. I think Ruslan said I like to fight fighters like Brandon Rios because they don't move much.

                  If Lucas loses it'll be because his eye swells up again, not because he isn't a mover. Lucas moves well enough but it might not have to be lucas who needs to move in this fight. Can ruslan take his power for more than 6 rounds?

                      Ruslan will pay the price for that in this fight.

                      Lucas punches to hard too for that and he's far more skilled.
