someones gonna get knocked out on this fight. way better than pac-rios

There's no way to say it is way better till they all fight. Pac/Rios could have a more electrifying ending. Just as well as the Alvarado/Prov fight.

Mike is going to take Provo apart. Round by round.

I honestly see him cutting provo by the middle rounds

I like Alvarado BUT I see Provodnikov getting the KO. Yes, Alvarado is the better boxer but look what Provod did to Bradley, who is a much better boxer than Alvarado. Alvarado's chin can be hurt & Provodnikov will catch him just like he did Bradley.

This is a good fight for the TopRank jr welterweight champion of the world. All jokes aside I love this fight. Its to bad Bob wont let his 140lbers fight GBs their are so many great fights that could happen.

Yeah Arum sucks. Lucas vs Provodnikov would be awesome, and I think Alvarado vs Garcia would be very interesting.

Mile high by TKO! Alvarado is more versatile and hits just as hard.

"ROCKY MOUNTAIN RUMBLE"


Alvarado by UD! 8 rounds to 4. I like Provodnikov but I think 147 suits him better, he's a thick dude.

I can totally see that happening as long as Alvarado focuses on boxing Provodnikov. I realize Bradley is probably a better boxer than Mike and he was close to getting ko'd, but Bradley didn't have the power to get Provodnikovs respect.

Provo cuts pretty easy.
If Bradley was able to cut him, wtf is Alvarado going to do?
Landed 30% of his shots against Rios, Provo going back down to a weightclass he said he had trouble making.
Doesn't look good for him

I see your point about Bradley's skills vs Alvarado's, but to make a case for Alvarado, it's a lot easier to walk through a Bradley punch. That said there is a very real possibility that Provodnikov will win by KO.

I could see both guys getting cut in this fight. Alvarado's face fell apart against Prescott too. Alvarado looks bigger than Ruslan, I'm not so sure he has that much trouble making weight or if it was more of an excuse to legitimize him getting his shot at Bradley at 147. But it could be a big factor if he does struggle to make weight.
