    Hard fight to call - both similar in ways and different in others. Provodnikov is the better brawler with classic crisp power, Maidana more awkward but can box more. Unfortunately both have bad stamina. A toss up really.

      50/50 provo can hurt chino to the body, but will catch several punches in the process and even if his chin holds he gets cut way to easy

        Provo is a decent boxer with legitimate skills.

        I like Maidana but he is just a one dimensional slugger

          50/50 fight really. Non have the superior boxing ability over the other so you know nobody is outboxing nobody which means it's going to be a brawl. toss up.

            I know its just a sparring session but you can clearly see that Provo has boxing skills.

              I voted for Provodnikov, but it would be hard to call. It could easily go either way.

                The fans. I think Ruslan is a better boxer, but I think Chino might be the more effective wrecking machine overall. They would both just come forward until one of them breaks. Chino is hard to break.

                  Provo makes him quit with a body shot. Marcos doesn't have the heart anymore. E got paid then buys ugly ass leather suits like Floyd. Then looks even worse in the rematch. Provo still fights and trains like he's poor

                    Provo is about the same level as the pre Garcia Maidana, only overhyped because Bradley was silly and he already lost both against Herrera and Algieri as well. His best win is Mike Alvarado. Provodnikov is a solid C level brawler nothing more. Maidana improved a lot under Garcia, he is more awkward, IMO he is faster than Provo + he cuts down the ring better and he definitely has a better jab than Provo + he has more serious punching power. Maidana by TKO/RTD in the middle rounds.
