Comments Thread For: Roach: Provodnikov Will Break Down, Knockout Algieri

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There was a time not much longer than a year ago when even diehard fight fans were about as familiar with Ruslan Provodnikov as they are today with Chris Algieri.

Like the powerful Provodnikov (23-2, 16 KOs) did against then-unbeaten Timothy Bradley, Algieri will attempt to make the jump from ESPN2 fighter to HBO staple against Provodnikov on June 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The 30-year-old Algieri is unbeaten (19-0, 8 KOs), but Provodnikov’s famous trainer doesn’t think the ex-kickboxing champion from Huntington, N.Y., is capable of upsetting his rugged Russian fighter.

Provo Will Knock This Guy Out Inside 3 Rounds

Provo is on a roll, getting better with every fight. When this guy feels Provo's power, he'll quit. Then it's time Provo gets Shawn Porter!

Freddie Roach curse.... Freddie calls a KO... so Provo will win by decision

[jas]

Huge mismatch

[Jimmy The Geek]

I just got through watching a few rounds of Algieri's best win - against Emmanuel Taylor. I think poor Chris Algieri is going to be hopelessly outmatched by Provodnikov.

I predict a Provodnikov win via Third round KO.

Wait is Algieri from Brooklyn? I just realized Provs last 3 fights including this, were all in the opponents backyard/hometown. Props!

semi-relevant but i thought this was pretty cool. Ruslan and the Brookyn Nets owner during a playoff game







I wonder if this show sells decent and if Ruslan gets a big fight later this year if he could fight at Barclays again. I hear Brooklyn has a large Russian population

[PacmanP4PLegend]

I'd hope Prod KO's this guy..

With Ruslan's pedigree I sure as to Hell hope he puts this guy down efficiently enough. Mismatch indeed...
