Ruslan Provodnikov ambled to the microphone and waited.

Staring into the crowd at Barclays Center on Thursday, wearing a white T-shirt and baseball-style cap, the WBO junior welterweight champion slowly growled into the mic, a slow rumble that became apparent the longer he snarled. He then smiled, said the time for talk was up, he was ready to fight, but not before hurling himself into a long discourse on his upbringing in Russia, the task at hand, life, and other topics that caught his fancy. It was a rambling homily that was sincere, comical, heartfelt and firm. Once he found his oracle footing, he was off to the races.

I don't know if Ruslan knows how much pressure is on him to win. The Ruslan hype is only 2 fights old and a hype train that young is still vulnerable to being slowed or stopped with a single loss. Ruslan should win and I do think Chris was brought on as a winnable and credible fight to continue to hype Ruslan, but if Algieri wins then the hype train stops.

The above pre-fight analysis is turning out to be very good thinking post-fight. P34c3
