Rios/Provodnikov is going to happen

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Provo would have won anyway but I think Pacquiao's thrashing of Rios make it even easier. Rios is very hard to KO but I think he will lose a ud if this fight happens. I don't like the way Rios said he would retire Pacquiao and then threw less than 30 punches a round and took a beating in every round. If he had said after the fight that Pacquiao is a damn good fighter that would be good but he never did. Maybe face fighter Rios should retire before he gets serious brain damage.

There wont be no UD.

Provodnikov either KOs Rios or Rios stops Provodnikov on cuts.

I think ruslans promoter is good friends with arum. So he's essentially a tr fighter lol

30? Idk how old Rios is but I think you're being modest. If someone lets this guy till he's 30 then they need to be put in jail. Unless he just fights total cab drivers.

This would be epic on a pac-bradley undercard

[just the facts]

Why should Provodnikov fight a no-name like Rios? Rios doesn't deserve any big fights after his performance against Pacquiao where he managed to be a punching bag for an entire 12 rounds. Provodnikov would stop Rios in four rounds at most.

While I think Provo will destroy Rios, Rios is far from a no-name.

Rios is already punch drunk

Rios is a minature Margo. Face-first brawler, not much boxing skills at all, mostly offence. Too careless. Guy has heart though. But that's not enough to ensure a climb up the latter, imo.

Past wars might have taken their toll, also. I don't see much for him in the future. I don't think much of his ring IQ...just my :2 cents:

rios needs to prove he belongs in the welterweight division. many see him as a bum who is a one dimensional fighter and never makes weight. rios gets destroyed by provodnikov

This would be an epic fight, and much more winnable for Rios than people will be thinking. Provodnikov should be rightly the favourite considering Rios is coming off two straight loses, t he a a very different fighter than Alvarado. It would be trench warfare, and with Rios' chin, stamina and inside skill and power, it makes for a different fight and one that suits both guys and gives both a chance to win.

Man, I hope this happens.

"there's nothing cool about taking punishment." - floyd mayweather jr.. rios should take heed.

Yup **** would be absolutely brutal

Call me crazy but I actually think it has the potential to surpass the brutality level of Rios/Alvarado 1

i don't; think that's crazy. alvarado can box a bit, and can be effective using the ring. rios and provodnikov cannot.
