Comments Thread For: Provodnikov Wants Quick Return, Eager For Redemption

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former WBO junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov (23-3, 16KOs) is looking for a swift return to the ring after suffering a twelve round split decision loss to Chris Algieri on June 14th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. There was a lot of controversy over the outcome, with many experts divided on which fighter actually deserved the victory.

"Physically, I feel just fine - for me the fight was sparring. [Algieri] did not cause any damage on me - you saw everything - Chris ran from me for twelve rounds. As for my morale, after I arrived in Russia I heard plenty of things from those who gloated. I want to quickly return to the ring. I will prepare for new fights and I will tell [those same] people after my victory - they were wrong [about me]," Provodnikov told Catherine Losetskaya. [Click Here To Read More]

Quick returns are good.... Didn't take a lot I damage and spent too long way after his last win

Get back in there. Tell Marquez to quick ducking the potential FOTY!

This guy is not playing around. I think he will win by KO in a rematch.

Hopefully this guy gets a knew trainer and get taught how tonfight different style. Everybody does'nt fight the same. A one dimensional fighter with a one dimensional trainer is a recipe for disaster.

Nothing about this suprises me, more crying from Prov. Sorry to have to break this to you Prov, but that wasnt running it was boxing. Maybe you should learn how to do it.

Provo Is A Different Animal; He'd Destroy Algie In A Rematch

And he'd knock out Brandon Rios in 3 rounds. Maidana is tied up with Floyd next. But I would love to see Provo train for either Algie or Rios. Especially on the heels of getting screwed on the last decision. He first offered Rios a shot. Rios wouldn't commit to anything until Provo signed with Algie, then Rios started crying.

Actually, that is NOT what happened. This is what happened...Bob Arum (again):
