Incredible Face-Off: Alvarado-Provodnikov

[aaron.king]

I thought you were being sarcastic with the thread title.

I'm not sure what people are talking about... the Face-Off wasn't that great. Provodnikov was good and intense. Alvarado couldn't put a sentence together. Kellerman had to finish talking for him.

I feel bad for Provodnikov because he's going to get ****ed, yet again. No way they give him this fight.

It was the tension, the mood, all the unspoken things that raise the hair on your skin. The honesty not just of their words, but of their "souls" (if you will). Eerie intensity.

bingo.

provodnikov kept it 100 there and i felt his emotions. no boxer has ever said hes afraid. he did. provodnikov and rado was almost in tears there, telling their whole honest thoughts. their darkest secret of feeling fear which no man ever reveals to another.

I cant wait for this fight,,,,

This will be an awesome slugfest, am im rooting for provi***ov..

Use to like alvarado but the more i learn about him outside the ring, the less i like him..

I give alvardo a slight edge due to his experience in brawls and his ability to use the jab to control the brawl, much like in the rios rematch

Sucks that both guys will be getting paid peanuts compared to the guys they beat. Alvarado beats Rios and Rios gets rewarded a PPV Pacquiao fight, Ruslan beats Bradley and Bradley gets rewarded a PPV Marquez fight.

Both guys will not be the same after this fight but it's ok Arum and Top Recycle will make sure they get a fight with the guy that will need a desperate win to save his career.

Tim Bradley beat Prod

I love provodnikovs honesty, saying Bradley beat him, most people in a fight that close, with controversial calls would scream robbery. He's accepted defeat and moved on. Hes a fighter, he looks inside himself and he knows he means it when he says he fights for the people, not the wealth and fame. There's no brashness, there's respect, but there's also authority. When he states he signed the contract and Alvarado made him wait a month, he knows inside he's ready, yet doubts exist inside Alvarado. He isn't worried about losing and missing out on a potential paycheck, he just wants to fight. As rocky said 'it's the way I'm made, we can't change who we are'.
