If you had to bet money on this fight who would you pick Alvarado vs Provodnikov?

[Mr. Ryan]

Hard to really say, because betting money has to do with odds. If you gave me -$250 on Provodnikov, for sure I'd bet on Provodnikov.

[Citizen Koba]

Tough call for me. Again, would kinda depend on the odds an' for me could go either way. Provo's a tough f#kker, so I don't particularly see Mike stopping him, but unless Ruslan stops Mile High, Mike takes the decision.

If I absolutely hadda put money down it'd probably be the Provo TKO - decent chance and decent return too, I would imagine.

Provodnikov by KO. I think the only way I could see Alvarado winning is by decision. I think Provodinikov applies too much pressure and power for Alvarado to take.

I think people are underrating Provo's power punching, he isn't a soft puncher at all, and if he lands clean I reckon he'll put some running shoes on Alvarado. I'm certain Roach will have invested some good time in his fighter.

If your mate (or yourself) is actually planning to put money down on the fight there is a 'real betting' thread if you look around. Those are the guys who probably are best qualified to give you the kinda advice you're looking for.

Just saying.

I'd place my bet on Alvarado. I think he's a better boxer and he's learned from his first fight with Rios to not stand and trade with a stronger fighter. Alvarado UD

[Alx.]

I have Alvarado on a decision

[Weebler I]

Alvarado by decision OP.

He learned his lesson from the first Rios fight....i.e. if you can box, don't stand in there with a ****er who can hurt you.

[Hougigo]

FIght's at 140, Provo said before the bradley fight he'd have trouble going back to 140. Also, Provo cuts pretty easily, Bradley was able to cut him.
Alvarado also learned his lesson of fighting close and moving instead from Rios.
Alvarado might get rocked, but personally I see him moving around and cutting Provo halfway through taking a UD or a late stoppage...better SU than a prop.
They'll most likely have the odds close for this one... but odds are in Alvarado's favor.
Home, his weight class and knows this time around not to phonebooth but move.
Don't know what people mean when they say Provo made Bradley fight in a phonebooth
