Danny Garcia vs Provodnikov

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Danny should be able to outbox him fairly easy,, but if ruslan had odds of +300 or higher, I could lay some dough down on ruslan

[Public_Enemy]

I have to go with Danny in this fight. He has a good chin, good trainer in his corner and can make adjustments during the fight.

I think Garcia uses his solid body attack to slow Ruslan down. It's a tough fight for both men but I pick Danny UD.

Man... After the Bradley fight nobody gave a **** about Ruslan. He beats Alvarado and he's the new Matthysse. Funny to me cause I was all about him after the Bradley fight but when he fought Mike I was disappointed. His feet have to be set for him to start cooking and he spends too much time following his opponent and trying/needing to set up his attack.

He's the kind of fighter I spend alot of time yelling at when my money is riding on him. People can misjudge him if they want to. All good.

Danny gets trapped against the ropes and broken down

just like lucas

[J The UnBiased]

The way he beat Alvarado makes me think he can beat Garcia. It would be a war and Garcia is a better boxer. Provodnikov hits harder than Garcia and he has a great chin. Both men are very determined but in a shootout I think Provodnikov wins with better two handed power.

just like lucas

Provodnikov goes to church and lights a candle for Danny.

Broner was knocking dudes out at lightweight than moves up to welter and his power disappeared. I think Danny wouldn't lose as much power because it's only one division higher but still, he'll lose some and won't be able to keep Ruslan off...Not everyone carries their power up like Pacquiao.

Move up? They both fight at 140

just like lucas

calm down just he beat Matthysse in a very close fight doesn't mean anything. It's not the end of the world lol. he still has a ton to prove, he's shown weaknesses in the past. Yes he's young and deserves more credit now.

Garcia still has a TON to prove. and has he disappeared off the face of the earth?? if matthysse was such an easy feat where the hell is he? he should be lining opponents up.

Provodnokov is tough as nails, and has a different style than Matthyssee. 50/50 fight no one should be a heavy under dog in this fight.

It's not a 50/50 but it is a competitive match up. Lucas/Garcia was 50/50 as I shouted to anyone who would listen as soon as the fight was announced. But Provo does not present the same amount of problems that Lucas did and more notably, Ruslan most certainly does not bring the punching power that Lucas brought.

[KermitTheKiller]

both fighters lack head movement, but the big difference in this fight would be Provodnikovs foot speed.

Danny has the slower feet, Provodnokov has very fast feet and great movement he could be on Garcia all night.

Tough fight to call again 50/50 fight.

I'd lean more towards Ruslan, Danny gets very frustrated in this fight if it were to happen and gets Ko'd very similar to Alvarado.

Close fight in the early rounds but Garcia gets overwhelmed.

remember Garcias chin ain't granite (pretty good tho) Judah hurt Garcia bad!!

Provodnokovs power is underrated. similar to DSG. I agree I thought Matthysse V garcia was 50/50.

When was the last time Garcia fought a pressure fighter like provod? lucas not really a all out pressure fighter like RP. lucas don't like to get hit completely different animal than prov.

I'm not praising RP I just think his foot speed and ability to cut of the ring is far more superior to LM and posses a serious threat

If he proves me wrong hell go up even more in my book, he's definitly getting there. but it's not like he can retire after beating Matthyse. He still has a lot of flaws.
