No fighters wants this Siberian Express only runners. The moment they put him in with a fighter that dude gets KO'd.

Provodnikov vs Garcia (Danny)

Prov KO's Danny twill be good as long as it last.

I don't believe him. And besides, the money is probably not right, he has no title and he's lost 2 of his last 3 fights.

He needs to work his way back into contention and earn his way.

Lol one of those "stay busy" fights was against a guy that already beat Ruslan though

On paper anyway, Ruslan's supposed losses have all been razor tight to the point where it can easily be argued he's undefeated.

If he fought exclusively in his own country like so many fighters get the privilege of doing you can guarantee he'd be 26-0 and a 2 weight world champion.

I heard Zab is trying to get that fight. I'm not even kidding.

It's not like he fought Herrera in Mexico though bro. And if you win by 1 point, you still win the fight.

Which is why I'd tend to believe him either way let him have a fight in Russia then he'll be back next year when the networks have a fresh budget.

LOL @ Danny Garcia not taking the fight... Who isn't shocked by that one? I mean Danny Garcia is supposed to be the King of the 140 division and he's taking two "stay busy" fights, and one he clearly lost...

I've already heard that Al Haymon is not that eager to put Danny in there with Pacquiao either...

I'm assuming another tune up fight for Danny this time on NBC sports...

As far as Ruslan... I still want to see him in there with a real slugger who can take a punch.. Alvarado wasn't that guy.. either was Bradley.. Rios, Diego Chavez would be realistic fights..not sure why Rios didn't take the fight...

Because roach has stated that he wants ruslan to stay at 140 and rios can no longer make that weight. It's about weight and money

Too bad Artie messed up his relationship with Top Rank

Dear God please no!!

[Check_hooks]

The only person I doubt saying no is Rios but I don't doubt his team saying no like they did in the past

Prov is one of the most ducked fighters out there right now and its easy to see why after what he did vs Algieri, Alvarado, Bradley, Herrerra etc
