This fight will be a chance to compare the strength and power between Rios and Ruslan.

Alvarado has the ability to outbox Provodnikov I believe, if he fights a disciplined fight and doesn't get lured in into a slugfest. Now we saw him execute an excellent gameplan against Rios II, but something tells me that the warrior inside of him will once again be released and that could very well be his downfall against another tough warrior in Provodnikov.

Either way, this should be a great fight and a treat to boxing fans.

I root for Ruslan, but I envision a close fight.

The Bradley fight though, in my opinion, is not a good example of how Provodnikok can force a 'boxer' to trade.

Tim started the fight as if he was the second coming of Mike Tyson... and got rocked hard, and I mean hard.

After that he outboxed Ruslan for most of the mid-rounds, although he was on weak legs and looked seriously stunned.

It was a great fight, but I would not base Provodnikov's ability to cut off the ring solely on that fight.

Alvarado was extremely disciplined in the Rios rematch. He knew when to exchange and for how long. He needs another performance like that, but from what I've seen Ruslan has a better ring IQ than Rios. He is though shorter and has a reach disadvantage.

THIS is going to be a fight. Cannot wait.

I'm calling it early. FOTY right here! Can't wait for this fight!
