    Did Provodnikov just screw himself?

    He basically just told every potential opponent that he hates fighting Boxers!

    That's true for everyone. Not exactly some ground breaking secret.

        He was just keeping it real...

        Everyone knows he has problems with movers, even before this fight

          NEW YORK -- Ruslan Provodnikov had to settle for a fight against Chris Algieri after bigger matchups fell by the wayside. Provodnikov isn't thrilled with the result, most of all because of what Algieri represents: a lanky boxer who will look to use his jab and move. Algieri said that he's watched a lot of Provodnikov tape and noticed that the Siberian Rocky can't deal with a jab and movement.

            Dude is a brawler. He wants to fight...not pat and move. He prefers ****ers. Nothing wrong with that!

              I guess it could be like reverse psychology. He could land a big name fight verses a top boxer for a big payday. But I just think he made it tougher on himself to get a fighter he likes to fight or a style he likes to fight.

                  Provs presssure fighting game is just not good, his approach at getting at effective range is so one dimentional its so frustrating... its so easy for a decent mover to make him reset limiting his punch output everytime due to his inability to throw punches at any angles...imo

                    Oh please. Rios is a scrub and Provodnikov would mess him up. The fight can still be in the works because Rios is best known for getting beat by Pacquiao without firing anything back.
