And the Frontrunner for Provodnikov is....

[LA_2_Vegas]

Karim is an ugly fighter and he used the clinch against him.

It was going to be ugly either way, Dulorme just did it in a way so he'd win

I agree it would have been ugly either way, even if the Smoger had gone ahead and warned Dulorme. i understand the strategy of Dulorome, he's trying to win and get back into the ranks by any means. But U'd think that is where Mayfield would have wanted the fight to go? He didn't do much to make it more physical on the inside while he was being clinched. I was kinda surprised given his previous fights

You think ruslan could still make it a good fight with Dulorme?

[BoxerDood]

This is an ESPN FNF/Chavez undercard level fight. Even DeMarco was a better idea because at least he has a name...If Dulorme isn't an option then they should wait for Allakhverdiev/Vargas.

H'es going to chase him and try to wear him down.

Karim does his "best work" in the clinch, Dulorme has learned to clinch when he's hurt.

HBO lost two of their best fights this year. Weak.

Prov should have just lost to Alvarado. He would have atleast for Marquez.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Ruslan vs dulorme is where it's at... That is the fight to make

Or Herrera rematch

Wait ur right, I forgot Demarco. What happened to that fight then? lol i'm lost now.

[Loque-san]

No. Besides Bradley, he fought Herrera & Alvarado. Lara fought Molina, P.Williams, Vanes, Angulo, Trout.

P.Williams/Trout > Alvarado.
