Comments Thread For: Demetrius Andrade, SHO Deal Looms: Provodnikov Next?

Ruslan showed better boxing against Herrera. Danny isn't smart... he does the same thing every fight. His bread and butter is what Ruslan is best at.. being squared up and throwing hooks. It's a bad style matchup for Gift. Danny doesn't have the footwork or stamina to beat Ruslan... You can't expect him to rely on something that Ruslan is simply better at.

It's downright comical for you to call Garcia one dimensional with no footwork when comparing him to Ruslan. Oh the irony.

I disagree,,,, Danny is a much higher caliber of fighter than ruslan.. Danny stops ruslan on cuts..

I see ruslan as a modern gatti, he will be in exciting fights, punchers chance vs everyone but will get beat every time he steps up to true world class competition

really why? because boxing politics didn't go prov's way? he should have beat herrera and bradley and even the algeiri fight was a tossup but unlucky/bad scorecards and a bad ref cost him those fights meanwhile garcia got lucky/bad cards against theophane and herrera and he was lucky he had a bed ref against matthysse who let him foul and scored a foul as a knockdown. garcia could easily have 3 losses and prov could still be undefeated. their resumes are just about even while garcia got all the breaks and prov got none.

that makes a lot more sense. it's poorly punctuated.

bscene headlines are ridiculous. it's one of the reasons i don't often read the articles.

It's not about punctuation, it's about READING before being so quick to comment which too many people here do.

Ruslan being punished for ducking Rios.

Except for Danny has wins over Lucas, khan, holt, Judah, morales..

Ruslan has beaten who exactly?

It's comical of you to assume things I didn't say. I didn't say he had NO footwork, but simply not the footwork needed to bother Ruslan. What? Are you about to try and say that Danny has the footwork of Algieri, Bradley and Herrera? It's hysterical to pretend Danny is some high class boxer. I'm in tears laughing at that idea.

The Alvarado win is equal to Danny's Khan win. All Danny really has is the Matthysse win, which was about a thin a win as you can get. Ruslan's war with Bradley was just as convincing.

No it's not...

I can see Andrade's rationale for moving to SHO with the greater number of JMW fights to be made (especially with it not looking likely that he gets a look in for Cotto / Canelo), though I'm a little puzzled by the Korobov situation and the allegations that HBO 'backed away' - as I'd understood it Puello / Banner made the deal without informing Boo Boo / his dad who turned out not to be interested.

Regardless. I certainly like the idea of Andrade vs Jermell C, with perhaps Lara, Kirkland, Ishe, K9 (and Molina if he's willing to fight in Mexico) down the line.

Ruslan also has plenty of potential fights across the road, though from the tone of the article any such move is pure speculation right now, based entirely on them both being with Banner.

so is Herrera a "high class" fighter?Because you honestly know he is not,nor is he better than Danny...Styles,styles make fights...You sound like one of the guys that were saying that Danny was going to get outboxed by Khan..WRONG..or smashed by Lucas..WRONG..you are simply put, a hater...probably a biased Mexican fan...Ruslan is fun to watch,but not elite,or anywhere near Danny's talent...this guy lost to Algieri!!Lol..get real
