Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios, Provodnikov Ready To Face Each Other

[Weebler I]

Ass backwards move for Provo. This guy is dumber than a bucket of shrimp. This guy is in a position right now to get a big name. But he done let Roach and Pac convince him they're too good a friends to fight. And now he's allowing Arum to use him as a quasi TR fighter that he's gonna cash out bums like Rios against in can't miss action fights. This guy is an idiot. But if he likes it I love it.

Pacquiao would brutalise him, maybe end his career. He would get money but at what physical cost?

He does want Marquez who isn't interested.

This one has FOTY written all over it....I'd certainly love to see this match.

Man dude Pacquaio ain't no killer. He'd fight Provo much like he fought Rios. He'd outbox him sure. But brutalize, GTFOH with that bull****.

Either way, its besides the point. Provo's in the winner's bracket. So no need for him to fight guys in the loser's bracket. And it especially doesn't make any sense when he's not handcuffed by the GBP-TR beef. There are several guys he could fight that would move his career forward. Rios has lost two in a row. One of those was to the guy Provo just "No Mas'd." Its a pointless fight. Other than its can't miss in terms of action and allows Arum to cash out Rios in a fight that will sell reasonably well.

He fought Bradley at 147 and hes huge. Hes a natural 147 that has to drop down to 140

Nah, he aint even a big 140 pounder, Alvarado and Garcia are bigger than him. Ruslan is simply very durable and strong, Alvarado was 9 lbs heavier and Ruslan was walking him down

Rios covered up like Clottey. Provodnikov defends with his face like Margarito and Hatton. He would get messed up.

Who is he going to fight if he can't get the Pacquiao fight?

Rios makes sense, big name fighter.

Ruslan by devastation

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ruslan is the 2nd best WW in the world behind Pacquiao

JMM and Mauricio Herrera disagree. What a ****in' idiot this clown is.

[Stevens Osoria]

i agree. He needs to learn how to block shots with something other than his face. Im a Rios fan. I dont wanna see him lose 3 in a row. That will have a lingering affect on his career. Id like to see him win a fight or two with solid opposition before he gets in all out brawl with someone like Rulsan.
Damn good fight though. But could be a career ending move for Rios if he takes a loss and especially a KO loss!

I find it really funny how packards are so much eager than a beaver to steer the conversation away from prov vs pac.They fear right there what would happen...again.

Rios makes sense, big name fighter.

I don't see Pac wanting to sit in the kitchen anfd risk eating Provo's return fire. He seemed to learn that from getting ICED. He wasn't what Rios did or didn't do. Pac just didn't fight like a dumbass for the first time in forever.

As for what can Provo fight. At 47 you got guys like Porter, Thurman, and Maidana. How good would Chino-Provo be? At 40, you got guys like Garcia and Matthysse. Even coming off a loss, Matthysse is higher on the foodchain than Rios. He's not a TR fighter. Therefore he's not bound by the promotional beef with GBP.

I'm salivating at the thought of this fight lol .. Make it happen please! .. I don't care who wins , we all win!

I wouldn't pick Provo to win. But I think he may be relentless enough to force Pac into a firefight. A firefight with a puncher that Pac likely wants no part of at this stage of his career. Which is why Roach and Pac have convinced Provo that they're too good a friends to have a boxing match.
