    Provodnikov vs. Thurman.

    I think Prov would be a good step up for Thurman. It would tell us how he does when he fights someone who can take his power, and how he does against relentless pressure. He'd need to improve his defense, because Prov can **** as well.

    Lastly, it would be an exciting fight.

    Isn't Prov a HBO fighter

        Fight would never be made even though Ruslan is a free agent. Too risky for GBP. Thurman would get chin checked... it's to be determined if he could take it.

          Lets get one this straight mr clueless. All Provo has is power. That's it. Thurman has power and can fight going backwards and forward. Provo would be lucky to touch that chin while eating bigger shots from every direction that he could imagine.

            Thurman's defense isn't the best, though.

              It's light years better than Provo's, though.

                A little upset? The slow Karass landed on Thurman and made him do the booty dew, Provodnikov has much faster hands and throws a wide array of power shots than Karass. He also is more than just power, he's got a lot of feints and tricks in the bag, rolls with shots and parrys/counters with power. GBP wouldn't put Thurman in with Ruslan and you know it.

                  That's why he gets hurt so much and he hasn't come close to fighting a Bradley level opponent.
