Breakdown of Provodnikov's skills (gifs)

[Light_Speed]

A lot of people think Provodnikov is a dumb brawler with no skills, that he just comes forward and blocks punches with his face while swinging like a caveman. So here's a gif breakdown of his skills :


-General head movement-

I call foul in a few of those. Bending below the waist is not cool.

One of his best and most impressive skills is his catch and counter. He'll anticipate his opponents' punch, wait for it to land on his gloves, and deliver a quick counter punch with the same glove that he used to block. That is an excellent counter punching skill for a pressure fighter.

Staying low is a foul, briefly ducking low to avoid shots is fine.
