Do you agree that provodnikov is a bum

[joseph5620]

I think hes a major bum who got hype just becuase he brawls....once he faced a mover like algerie or a guy who can survive like bradley he got completely exposed.

Hes pretty much not a threat to any decent boxer past round 3, he gets frustrated and cant perform after he realizes that his punches havent put down his opponent and fails, he punches , thats all he does, once he sees that doesnt work hes done and eats jabs all night and turns into a punching bag for anyone smart enough to just throw jabs and straights


its almost funny watching him get beat up after someone survives his onslaught

Not a bum but very overrated. He gave Bradley a very tough fight but clearly lost the decision in my eyes. Other than that he has done little to get the type of hype he gets.


His last fight clearly showed how one dimensional he is.

He was supposed to be cannon fodder vs Bradley, rightfully presented as Pac' sparring partner, there was never any hype about him and then he gave a world class fighter hell, and he beat a title holder after that. How is a guy who was not expected to be on cable tv to begin with and managed to settle in the top 10 of his division overrated?

Even though I don't agree with what he said, he never mentioned anything about Floyd.

yes he did....i said floyd would humilaite him and make him kiss his azz....then he replied saying he has a hell of a chin and that he would knock floyd out lol

Not a bum - not exactlY dimension but I take the point. He's got his flaws but I still would like to see better stamina so that he can let his hands go more. He could have gotten Tim and Algieri out of there. As it is, BradleY + Hererra beat him, Algieri decision remains questionable to me.

That's not how I saw things play out but either way I guess it wasn't important enough to bring up.

I wouldn't call him a "bum", he has plenty of things to work on that's for sure, but at least he isn't fighting Mickey Rourke!

This is the dumbest **** i have ever read on boxinscen!!cong****!! BTW he beat bradleys ass, and won the algieri fight on a lot of peoples score cards.

[jmrf4435]

bradley had to take a knee!!!A kneee in boxing!! A ****ing kneee!!!Clown ass poster

[jmrf4435]

Ask tim bradley if he thinks prov is a bum...

[Kagami Taiga]

He's not world class IMO. Neither is Algieri. Bum? Depends on your definition.
