I just think Provodnikov is a better fighter.

Dumb move my Prov going back down, I think Alvarado will win with ease because of this.

im thinking provodnikov will win this, but not confident enough to put money on it.

[Cuban Linx]

Alvarado is way better, I expect him to win easily.

Provodnikov wasn't given much choice in the matter if he wanted a return bout on HBO.

Who do you view as the better fighter at 140, Rios or Provodnikov?

[BigAlexSand]

This fight is a hard one to tell but my gut feeling is Alvarado will take this fight. His ability to transition from fighting to boxing, (like he showed in rios-alvarado 2) will make the difference... But if he can transition and as long as he doesn't get pulled into a brawl. If he goes into the fight thinking he can rock Provodnikov, he will find guy has hands too...

If this fights stays head-to-head, Provodnikov might just have this one!

Unless Provo stops Alvarado early, I see him getting a mask of blood.
