Provodnikov looks like he hits just as hard as Maidana (or harder) and he sticks to his guns instead of doing that weird hammerfist stuff. I think Floyd pulls off a decision by fighting very defensively (go figure) but it woud be a dangerous fight and not a cherry pick.
Lets see how Ruslan looks tonight. He greatly improves his odds of that big payday if he blows this guy out of the water/highlight reel KO.
Provo doesn't hit as hard, and surely wouldn't moving up 7 lbs.
Maidana's awkwardness is what makes him a challenge. Provo is about as robotic and predictable as it gets. Only thing he does well is cut off the ring. His stamina sucks, his faces gives out easily, has ZERO defense, and no plan but to come forward.
