[ShoulderRoll]

Cherrypick by Provodnikov.

[samouraļ]

So will Provo still be trained by Roach?

Pretty lame fight by the way.

[onechance87]

Pretty weak from hbo

[Elotero]

Hopefully it is a normal Provodnikov fight, even if the opponent is suspect watching him break anybody down is entertaining.

THIIIIS

Prov fights, I will watch. I dont care against who.

[KingTito]

Algieri has some skills, but Provodnikov breaks him.

Where would I have seen this Algieri guy before?

Arum doesn't want to make Provo-Rios. He doesn't promote Ruslan and the fight is too risky for Rios. He's not trying to cash Rios out, he wants to rebuild him (DeMarco).
Rios still has a name and they still have plans for him (Bradley? Marquez?). It's not that hard to understand. Think GBP/Alfredo Angulo.

Lol at people thinking Ruslan is ducking him. Punching Bag Bag has lost his last 2 fights (or 3 of his last 4), and had to take diuretics to make 147. Ruslan probably destroys him.

I'm glad Algieri is getting this opportunity.

ESPN, same place Provo rose from.

If Alegri gives a very good account of himself in losing, he could be back

As uninteresting as this fight is it's also extremely hard to believe Provodnikov is scared of Rios... I mean think about what you're saying there...

Isn't algieri the albanian kid from the BX?

if it's who I think it is, his Albanian following should bring a crowd. Bastards run deep in Ny. And when I saw him box, I liked what I saw, should be a good fight.
