Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios: I Want The Provodnikov Fight To Happen

[rocktx]

Rios says he wants to "fight" Provo, but I bet when he gets in there and takes a few shots he curls up into that ball just like he did against Pac. Either that or he's getting KTFO cause I don't know if Rios has a good chin, it just hasn't been checked yet by someone with some power. And he surely cant take em to the body

50/50 fight. Both would be fighting in their comfort zone and both fighters would not be the same after.

This is a pick em fight. Bam bam is durable and has power. Lets not forget him making Alvarado do the stanky leg with a jab. Alvarado is tough as well but he cuts and bruises easily, but also has power. It could be a late stoppage for either guy. I'd love to see this fight on the Pac-Bradley II undercard. It'll definitely help it sell.

Provodnikov V Rios could be a main event fight & hold it's own. What fight do you feel would be more entertaining and appealing, Pac Vs Bradley 2 or Provodnikov V Rios?

Rios is an idiot if he wants to go up and stand toe to toe with Provo. Provo will beat him down like a heavy bag! Provo is no Alvarado, AND hits harder than Pacquiao...ask a natural 147 Tim Bradley. A Rios-Provo fight ruins Rios. Better think twice.

Let's also ask Mauricio Herrera you forgot about him.

I like rios in this fight granite chin good powder and he's face dosent swell up like ruslan. Go look at ruslan face after the bradley fight he looked disfigured. Rios will butcher he's face.

I like both Rios and Ruslan but will Pull for RUSLAN to KO RIOS !

[GhostBlade]

Call me crazy. But Rios can win this. Brandon is more durable than Mike. And Provo is not going bewilder Rios with speed and 8 punch combos ala Pac. It's going to be toe-toe just like Rios wants.

You are crazy. Provodnikov will maul Rios and Rios has little chance unless he somehow catches Provodnikov with a haymaker as Provodnikov is coming in but Provodnikov has one heck of a chin too so that's doubtful. Provodnikov does virtually everything better than Rios and Rios won't be able to take Provodnikov's shots flush for 12 rounds like he could against Pacquiao. Provodnikov stops Rios in 7 rounds if not sooner. I don't see the fight going past 7 rounds.

ruslan doesnt have the speed to make rios cover up like that.. this will be similar to the rios vs alvarado fight but instead i think rios takes the heavier punishment here.
