Denver, Colorado - Ruslan Provodnikov, the Russian brawler nicknamed the "Siberian Rocky" captured the WBO junior welterweight title on Saturday night when Alvarado couldn't answer the bell for the 11th round. Provodnikov (23-2) knocked down Alvarado (34-2) twice in the eighth round with a series of punches near the ropes and finished him off late in the 10th. The fight was halted by referee Tony Weeks, who asked Alvarado a few times if he wanted to continue and Alvarado responded that he didn't.

Great win for Provo, hopefully Alvarado moves up to 147 now.

Alvarado vs Jessie Vargas at 147 sounds good.

Good fight. Provodnikov is a threat to anyone at 140 and 147. Alvarado showed a lot of grit. He has nothing to be ashamed of. He landed some good hard shots, but i think he needs to work on his legs so he can plant and get more power in his punches. He seemed to get off balance when he threw, even before he started getting hit.

True this! ^
Alvarado tried to box a little and he was doing good. Seems like he cannot hold that for the whole fight. Work the stamina and some good combinations. IMHO after 2 or 3 rounds he was very predictable.

If ever a fighter's looks matched his style...

What A Train Wreck! Alvarado Had "I've Had Enough" Written All Over His Face!

I love these guys that come to fight. Bradley will never fight Provo again. A 40 year old Marquez, will never fight Provo. Mayweather will never fight Provo. This kid just out "WILLS" you with a relentless attack, and VERY heavy handed; when he hits you, you stay hit; the body attacks just take your heart away, then you quit, or get stretched out, like Tim Bradley admitted to. Provo deserves Danny Garcia now!!! Let Alvarado prove he's more than a B-level fighter and go dominate Matthysse.
