At 140 and in Denver. Not looking good for ruslan. Mike needs to move up his ass weighed 160 vs rios

Agree on the bold, both need improvement before he can advance his career. At WW, I also would have picked Ruslan much easier, if he wins, I wouldn't mind the Pacquiao-Rios winner.

He won't fight Pacquiao, given they've both got the same trainer and Ruslan helped Pacquiao train for Bradley as a sparring partner. They're pals.

Rios, on the other hand, would be a good matchup for Prov if he somehow beat Pacquiao. But that's unlikely.

Comments Thread For: Alvarado Agrees, Provodnikov Fight is On - 10/19

WBO interim-junior welterweight champion Mike Alvarado (34-1, 23KOs) has made it known on the social networks that he finalized his portion of the deal to face Ruslan Provodnikov (22-2, 15KOs) at the 1stBank Center in Denver on October 19th, with HBO televising. Provodnikov accepted the fight two weeks ago, but Alvarado's side was still working out the financial details. Alvarado returns from his rematch decision victory over Brandon Rios, while Provodnikov came close to stopping WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley earlier this year in a Fight of The Year frontrunner. Bradley won a close twelve round decision.

Provodnikov all the way... not only is he fighting in Mike's hometown but he was forced down to 140. The odds are against him but he'll be victorious.

i might have to go to this one! rado will beat his brains out

Got to love the coming months!

Prov will have even less stamina at 140 but more power. Alvarado could outbox him if he stays away long enough

Alvarado trying to drain Provon

How is that when provodnikov has always fought at 140? He went up to challenge bradley and is now returning to his weightclass..i can see if he was being made to go to anything below 140 but hes fighting at 140 where he always does

Another scorcher to end the year.

IMO I think ruslan will win via tko or ko, but I am no boxing expert. Ruslan is exciting to watch.
