Comments Thread For: Provodnikov Breaks Alvarado To Capture WBO Crown

[NachoMan]

He'll never be a slickster, but Provodnikov is a very skilled fighter. He cuts the ring off and works a methodical, but very effective attack to the body and head. Because of the difference in foot speed and defense, I really can't see him challenging Floyd, but he poses a serious threat to anybody else from 140-147 IMO, including Manny Pacquiao.

It was a good fight. No « slick » fighters to bore us to death. Alvarado tried and, like a true Mexican, preferred to receive punishment like a man than to hug all the time like Bradley. Sure, he could have run more and engaged less and survive like Bradley but he is a macho. Provodnikov is tough, I like him. East europeans are tough, he deserves a rematch with Bradley

Yeah, he was so macho that he quit. Like all boxers, Alvarado is a tough guy, but Tim Bradley would never quit. Maybe if he was in there with a prime Mike Tyson getting outweighed by 75lbs. Then he might quit. He should quit in that case though.

****** fighting south paw, alvarado never did have a good corner.

It doesn' matter who he fought after Ortiz.... the fact remains, Ortiz got train wrecked by Maidana... Marcos was available, and yet Floyd chose Ortiz for the fight he had with Berto.... so what? Ortiz name should never come up no matter who he beat. He got knocked out by Marcos Maidana. Fight Maidana then. That's like watching Danny Garcia beat Matthysse... Matthysse rebounds and wins a string of fights, and you choose to fight Matthysee because of his recent wins, as opposed to fight the guy that dogged Matthysse to start with.... ****** reasoning on your part, rube.

you realize before Mayweather fought Ortiz, Khan dropped Maidana on route to a decision victory so by your logic Mayweather should have fought Khan after the Maidana victory

Just watched the fight.

Provodnikov whooped that ass.

Happy for him winning his first world title.

Russian Rocky indeed!
