This has trilogy written all over it. The first fight will mirror Gatti-Ward, and create overwhelming demand for a rematch. The rest will be history. A future HBO Legendary Nights feature for sure.
provodnikov is a better overall fighter than rios..can do abit more things. This WILL be a ridiculous war. How long can rios sustain these type of wars?
People (and you're one of them) who pay for these **** are a plague to this sport.
What does it say about the A-Side, a guy who calls himself The Best Ever, when he doesn't allow a puncher wear a pucher's gloves? Could you imagine Ali pulling this shit?
Unlike you and 80 % of Floyd fans, I don't support fighters because of their skin color or nationality. Sure, I'm a fan of Eastern Euros like GGG, Wlad and Lomachenko, but I'm a fan of Rigo, Garcia or Hopkins among others. Also, imagine that, I'm a fan of Floyd, more precisely his skills and ring IQ which are outstanding.
But I don't defend his blatant ducking, beating women or bull**** demands on fighters he fights.
He's a great fighter but he's a disgrace to this sport and I don't know how anyone can defend him.
I can potentially see Rios winning on cuts. This is a very interesting fight as both guys like to slug it out. I got Rios winng as he has a proven chin and dosent cut and swell as terribly as Provo.
This fight could be barbaric....the kind of fight that ruins both fighters careers...ala Coralles/Castillo....but only if Rios' chin is legit...because it will get pounded.
