If Ruslan Provodnikov Is The Beast Everyone Thinks, Then Why Couldn't He Even Hurt

And? Molina can punch. Matthysse won every minute of the fight minus the KD's.

And he's not even close to world class.

In your OP you mentioned Ruslans lack of defense (he's never been dropped, from what I know) as a reason why Lucas puts him to sleep....


Yet "the machine" got dropped by a mediocre fighter in his last fight.....

That's about all Molina can do, he is improving though.
He looked a lot better vs Matthysse than he did vs Bey.

Guys get dropped by mediocre fighters with good power all the time. It's not a big deal.. especially if they dominate the fighter that dropped them

It's a big deal when you're making a case and a thread about why said guy who got dropped would KO another guy.


Ruslan would probably KO Lucas

No it's not. Matthysse has never been KO'd before and he's stopped guys who've never been stopped before (Peterson and Soto. Maybe more but that's all I know off the top of my head).

Trying to go to war with Matthysse will be suicide for Provo

Same thing can be said about for Matthysee.... No? Forget never being knocked out.... Ruslan has never even been knocked down... Matthysee has gotten knocked down by John Molina


.....twice

Neither guy has been stopped, but Provodnikov has never stopped anyone worth noting. Matthysse has. That's the difference.

Neither guy has been stopped. Lucas has been dropped, Ruslan hasn't. Matthysse stopped Peterson. Ruslan put Tim Bradley on his butt 3 times. Tim Bradley is better then anyone Matthysse has fought.

Let's not knock on John Molina , he's a very hard hitting SOB.
He lacks a lot of the finer points of a boxer but what he hit's , he hurts.
He also has moved up in weight and has been fighting less dehyrdated.
John Molina will finish his career with a belt around his waist.

Nothing against Molina, but he doesn't hit has hard as Ruslan, IMO
