Incredible Face-Off: Alvarado-Provodnikov

[aaron.king]

I don't think I've experienced more unease during a Face-Off, even for Cotto-Margarito II. I got the sense that both Alvarado and Provodnikov are ready to die. They're utterly respectful toward one another, and yet, I got the sense that they each wanted desperately to murder the other. It wasn't just uncomfortable. I actually felt a little scared.

I didn't know this fight was for the WBO interim title. Is it interim because JMM is on hiatus as the WBO 140 champ?

[Weebler I]

that was cool, loved Provodnikov's talk about fear being the real enemy.

Provo doesn't fight for money or belts, he fights for his people lol.

HBO had full day today, good faceoff tho. Prov should smile more, it's not that serious.

I like the face off, you're right it was intense as hell.

It was very deep. Alvarado seemed touched by Provodnikovs talk and seemed to respect him more by the end of the face off. Jesus These guys looked like killers in there it was very unnerving and intimate it was amazing.

Provo is a cold dude.

Max was trying to build some bad blood, but those dudes are above talking smack. All that matters is the pain inflicted in the ring..

I love how Provo knows he's just a pawn and only fights for pride and legacy.
