Comments Thread For: Provodnikov's Return Eyed For June 14, Rios is Unlikely

Do people hate Rios or something? It's bad for Rios' career to get in with Provo right now after the spanking Pac and Alvarado handed him, not to mention all the wars before

Rios isn't a good boxer. He's just good TV because he don't mind trading. Who gives a f__ about his career. He's kinda like Gatti, people will watch him even though he loses.

Not to mention he talks all that sh__ about being a warrior and whatnot, so give em what he asks for.

why not a rematch with Alvarado?
he doesn't have to do it because Alvarado checked out
but if Alvarado is willing, it can be another great fight
what else can Ruslan do but wait for the Pac-Bradley 2 winner?
this TR-GB crap has him stuck in a rut
it sucks that Rios isn't happening, was looking forward to it

Ruslan ducking Rios I Predicted this.

What happened to Ruslan tweets saying he wants to fight rios and this and that lol, now all of a sudden he cant fight, Rios said he will make 140, if his ass drains himself that on him? He comes over you get paid more, Rios has proved over and over he will try his hardest to make the weight.

Ruslan the Duck, He knows he gots some easy lucky fights in 2013, you beat someone Rios stopped inside of 7 rounds you took the damaged version and took you 10 rounds.

Man when would these ******* man, up? who else he going to fight that going to make any buzz, this is like the time Marquez turned down pac to go fight chris john for 50 bucks just to lose lol.

Rios fought the same guy he stopped inside 7 and it took him 12 rounds to lose

The fact that Alvarado won the rematch was convinetly left out

I would love to see Provodnikov-Matthysse.

Provodnikov one of the most overrated fighters of recent times. Who has he beaten, Alvarado? After several wars with Rios.

There is no doubt Rios brutally stops this fraud if he had the cojones to fight him at 147.

This guy got UD'd by Mauricio Herrera two years ago ffs. Seems to be wiped from history.

The return of WBO junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov (23-2, 16KOs) is being targeted for June 14th, on HBO, according to his promoter Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions.


The "Siberian Rocky" is looking to pick up right where he left off, with his career-defining 2013. After having a "Fight of The Year" battle with WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in March, Provodnikov returned in October to stop Mike Alvarado in ten rounds to capture then WBO title.
