        This fight will cut both fighters careers short,both can punch and both really really lack defense

            50/50 fight

            If I had to pick, I would go with Prov cuz Molina caught and rocked Matthysse a bunch of times and hes not known as a big puncher

                What? Molina has a good KO percentage and has a good chance of upsetting broner because of his power. It's not like Lucas got wobbled with a puncher like Paulie.

                        I think its gonna end on a TKO, possibly a doctor stoppage. I see Provo's face swelling up badly in the mid to late rounds. Provo fights in spurts and Matthysse has better def and head movement too so he will probably be able to land the cleaner punches. Matthysse's eye could also close at any moment, so it could go either way but I'd favor Matthysse because he seems like the better boxer overall.

                            Matthysse has decent defense, keeps his hands up, blocks a lot of shots, takes a step or two back out of range if need be.

                                I agree with you. These fighters have completely different skill sets. Matthysse doesn't mindlessly wade in and take punches the way Ruslan does.

                                I also want to see how Ruslan reacts to getting hit by a devastating puncher. I've never seen him in the ring with a fighter with power he had to respect.

                                    Lucas has very underrated skills. People are blinded by his power and think all he is, is a punching bag.
