    To add, what a lot of people don't realize is that he boxed southpaw and sacrificed power for defense. I don't know why he did it. Probably because Klimov had no answer fot it but he has good power out of his orthodox stance.

    I don't if he plans on continuing to do that or continue to switch hit in the future.

        Let crawford fight at 140 first? Fighting a ****in bull like prov for your first 140 fight is suicide.

            Prescott and Prov are two completely different fighters. Prov appears to be more accurate, more powerful, more determined to just come forward and cut off the ring. Prescott can punch, but he has a tendency to hop around the ring following is opponent and he's a bit sloppy and inaccurate with his punches.

            From what have I seen from Prov against two top level fighters, he indeed makes them fight that way, as he claims, and actually shows it - that it is actually him that has the ability to draw a boxer into a fight. He does this because he leaves them no choice, he is all up in your face and you have no place to run or hide. He is very good at cutting off the ring, he's not a regular tough, hard chinned brawler who follows his opponents around.

            Anyway Provodnikov vs Crawford bores me to death just typing about it. Crawford can't even look exciting against lesser, smaller, outmatched opponents who can't hurt him, I really don't care to see him right now, maybe i'll root for him if he gives in a better performance against a good fighter. I mean my favorite fighters are boxers, and I couldn't stand Crawford vs Klimov.

              There is no way in hell Crawford pitches a shutout and using Alvarado is not a good example because every fight offers a different set of dynamics.

                I like Crawford, Provodnikov seemed hesitant to engage Alvarado when he was southpaw and Alvarado is a terrible southpaw.

                    Same could be said about bradley, and bradley had FOTY with ruslan,,,

                    I think this is a great style matchup and would result in fireworks,,,,,

                    And i realize that prescott and ruslan are different fighters, but that was in response to to someone who said he needs to fight at 140 before he fights ruslan,, Crawford has done that and i think prescott is about as good as your going to get in terms of a stepping stone to get use to the weight,,
