Rios would be entertaining to watch, in a fight with Provodnikov...... The weight issue is valid... Ruslan would hate to see Rios pull a Salido at the scale.... The question for me is Why should Rios get a World Title fight after back to back losses ????
He would be a huge underdog, after which his marketability would be in serious trouble, with a potential third consecutive loss..... He should bust up a few contenders and regain some confidence while raising demand for his stock... At some point he'll get the trilogy with Alvarado..... He needs to insure that everyone wants to see it...
I understand why Rios would want Ruslan, I don't know why Provodnikov would want Rios ??? Ruslan would be taking a payday against someone everyone expects him to K.O..... Ruslan needs to draw in a Broner or Khan class of fighter.... If he can look vulnerable enough in beating the likes of those, then perhaps he can spark the interests of Manny or Floyd ???? Ruslan can't look to good because Floyd and Manny are getting long in the tooth.... They don't need the kind of WAR Ruslan had with Bradley, win or lose... Ruslan needs to look slow, thus a much safer fight... That's if he wants to fight for the big bucks vs the living legends......
That is where I'd be looking to go, if I were Ruslan Provodnikov..... Rios is a stay busy fight, not a serious career builder.... But it would be fun to watch !!!

i just feel demarco has nothing for Prov... Itll be like watching him hit Broner... No effect.
Still though... 0-2 and failing a test iirc from Rios? He should be trying to fight Ortrees or somethin

A good fight in my view. De Marco will put up a great fight and will continue to come forward. Of course I have Provodnikov but I would put it against De Marco.

He needed banned substances to cut weight for a ppv fight w/ Pacquiao but now he can make 140 no problem , let Rios get a soft touch in prove he can make the weight and it can happen in the late fall.
Why Rios is so anxious to get this face bashed in is kind of scary.
