Lucas Matthysse v Ruslan Provodnikov

[soul_survivor]

Quite possibly the most entertaining fight to be made in the LWW division and one of the most entertaining anywhere. This should be the fight to end Mayweather's agenda...or erm...the Cold Ward as it's known. Forget Pac v ***** Boy or any of the other "big" match ups. This is a boxing fans dream.
What do you guys think? Who wins? Why?

[thuggery]

Spontaneous combustion in the ring..

I honestly don't know....I'd probably go with Ruslan. His confidence is at an all time high right now while Lucas is coming off of a loss

Matthysse deals with him fairly easily.

If its now Ruslan... if Lucas has a few fights to get confidence back after the Garcia fight then i'd go for Lucas.

I think Provodnikov takes it, he's bigger and stronger and may even hit harder.Lucas is a better boxer though and has better footwork. It's a tough call but I'd put money on Prov

[Nights King]

Lucas takes it in my opinion. He can box and got the power to hurt and possibly knockout Provodnikov but never underestimate Ruslans chin, heart and will to win. This fight has all the elements of being the perfect war!

If the fight happens - Lucas via UD.

Matthysse takes it. Its a case of too much power vs not enough defense. Provodnikov gets his face messed up in this fight. Provodnikov also has great power but Matthysse has better defense in my opinion to deal with it. Great fight though ..... i'd pay to see it

[WarMaidana]

please boxing gods make it happen! And when the **** is matthysse gonna fight again and against who, his options are pretty limited

[Ray-boom]

I would favor Provodnikov, but this fight is not possible due to boxing politcs so it is just a dream for now.

Will never happen unfortunately. Matthysse=showtime Ruslan=HBO
