[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Lucas Matthysse (36-3, 34KOs) is back in the gym and getting ready for a planned return. Matthysse has mentioned a possible date of February 28th. He is waiting to get some concrete information from his promoter, Golden Boy Promotions.

One possible name being mentioned for this year is former WBO junior welterweight champion Ruslan "Siberian Rocky" Provodnikov (24-3, 17KOs). Matthysse likes the fight and he also likes his ability to beat a fight with Provodnikov's style.

Too exciting, won't happen

[Chrismart]

Yes please !

Mattyhsse is a better fighter overall but I'm sure Provodnikov would give him all he can handle. This fight would be a war. I would pick Matthysse by decision. However, I would not be surprised if he won by late stoppage due to swelling/cuts.

I truly think Ruslan wins by stoppage

Provo Will Blow Out Matthysse; Bad Choice For Matty!

Tim Bradley is much bigger than Matthysse and was beaten to within an inch of his life. Nobody had beaten Bradley up like that. Algieri very tall and long arms stayed away from Provo all night, and yet dropped twice in the first round, and turned Algieri's left eye into a grotesque sight. Matthysse smaller than both Bradley & Algieri, standing in front of Provo, will make for a big career setback for Matthysse. Make the fight!!! It will be action packed and a war while it lasts. But Provo hits a lot harder than Danny Garcia and this will prove to be a bad career decision for Matthysse, who I like a lot in the ring.
