Comments Thread For: Provodnikov: A Good Chance I'll Face Pacquiao on 4/12

i think this will be a good fight so i'm not complaining. this fight should be what pac/rios was supposed to be. ruslan will bring it unlike rios.

but i don't know why this isn't pac/bradley II. my only guess is that bradley still don't want to fight manny again.

not interested in bradley/jmm II if that's the plan.

Lol you're not a boxing fan. you're a floyd mayweather fan. Big difference.

edit: just like with the rios fight, you are already making up excuses discrediting pacquiao over a fight that hasn't happened yet. sad. we all know there would be an excuse if he beat bradley again in 2014. people always have an excuse if a fight doesn't go their way

There'd be no excuse if he beat Bradley...it's a solid fight. EVERYONE said Rios was a crap fight minus Hectari and Warrios let's be honest. Rios isn't even a good 140 lb fighter....moved up for his first fight at 147 to fight Pac....everyone knew how it'd go...hence why it sold so poorly. Prov is a better fight but they're sparring partners and friends. This means Prov will need a diff trainer too...Bradley is the far superior fight but better fights rarely get made.

Woohooooo!!!! Now you're talking to me!!! That's what I want to hear!!!! ITS ON AND CRACKIN!!!

Wanted Pacquiao-Bradley II, Provodnikov-Rios, and Marquez-whoever the ****, or no one. Arum throwing Pacquiao in with Provodnikov at this point shows just how little he cares about his fighters. Manny should be favored, but it's a dangerous fight.

[Sheppirino]

Now this is a fight to look forward to. Hope they make it. Pac should win this but I think Prov will definitely give him more of a challenge than Rios did. Wonder who will train Prov though since Roach will be in the corner of Pac.

[GodInFleshSuit]

Arum is desperate to compete with the big fights Golden Boy has been coming with lately. Either that, or he's just ready to cash out on Pacquiao. Either way, us boxing fans are reaping the benefits!

This would be a pretty good fight imo. Ruslan will take some punches but he could beat Pac down too. This better have a tremendous undercard because I won't be paying $70 for this fight alone.

[ShoulderRoll]

Yes! It will be interesting to see how Pacquiao deals with a hard punching fighter from the feared "Soviet school" of boxing.

It's interesting because Pac said Rios hurt him badly with a left hook and Rios barely landed anything significant that fight

common ruslan what a hell. why you chased your friend manny while plenty of fighters waiting for. you should chased rios,marquez,khan,alexander,maidana,danny garcia,bronier plenty are waiting. remember you are not yet on the top caliber boxer same as to amir khan.
