Comments Thread For: Rios To Provodnikov: If I Say I Can Make 140, I Can

[SUBZER0ED]

Motha Phuckas here calling JMM a duck for this dude Ruslan, and he clearly is the one avoiding the Rios Fight.....which one is it? or just being selective....like I stated, at least JMM stated his case clearly I'm fighting at 147...my goal is another championship belt at a different weight, he never called Rusland out (althoug Am 100% sure he would've if Ruslan would have gotten the nod vs Bradley, in my eyes he won or tide that fight but he did not lose)
Now the monster is avoiding a lesser fighter in Rios? that make no sense to me, and don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure Provo beats Rios but he picks Jr. Light weight DeMarco? Common people get serious!!! notice I use the word avoid not duck....for now.

Yeah, I don't get the choices of next opponents for Provo except caution. Demarco has apparently moved up to JWW. Can he bring his power up 2 weight classes? Algieri has 19 pro fights, which is not much less than Provo's 25. He only has 8 KOs. Since he just became champion, Provo's probably feeling out How he holds up against good but not monster fighters. If he did call out Rios, Roach probably found out after the fact and said "Whoa, you're not ready for Rios yet."

you ma***ers are ****** azz *** if you think rios would do anything to provo if anything he feels bad for him he just lost his last 2 and has to kill himself to make weight

[rocktx]

I thought it was Arum who said Rios wouldn't make 140?

I'm so tired of people making these other guys seem like the most avoided fighters in the game eg. (Provodnikov, GGG) when there are credible and dangerous opponents calling both them out. Rios would hurt the kid, never took a step back and never ducks anyone. True Warrior

I'll put it like this: If Provo did take a chance on signing to fight Rios, Brandon would probably come in overweight. This would back Provo and his team into a corner where they would either have to call the fight, or agree to fight Rios at a heavier weight for a penalty and no title. This would be advantageous to Rios of course, because he would then bring his power, which is dangerous.

Thats just dangerous already going to 140,i dont know how hes not worried about his health

[El Matatan]

It would be a great fight.

[Tomato cans]

oh ****, we've all been using the internet wrong this whole time

hehe, was thinking the same thing.

[Tomato cans]

Rios would have a decent chans in this one. If he isnt ruined after all the headshots. No way he makes 140 anyway. Rios isnt an atlete, he parties to much and has no disipline it seems.

[JFalu]

They should make it happen. This would be very exciting to watch considering both styles and the heart/determination of these two.
