Matthysse-Provodnikov being finalized for March 28th

[Foreign Soil]

Who does Ruslan bomb out though? At the top level, almost everyone goes 12 with him. Herrera, Corley, Bradley, Algieri all went 12 and he didn't stop Alvarado who actually quit on his stool. He took 9 rounds to get an old Augustus out, 5 rounds to get an ancient Castillo out.

I like both fighters, they arguably only have one defeat between them and that under the duress of injury, but I really think Matthysse has the advantage in this one.

Matthysse tends to hang out in that dangerous midrange territory that is Ruslan's powerhouse. Molina caught him there over and over, and if they haven't corrected it, Lucas is going to sleep.

Matthysse doesn't fight like the fighters you mentioned and most of them are tough to put away anyway.

Loser is done at the top level of the sport....... truly an amazing fight to see

From a loss? I doubt it, they both are always in great fights and will get more offers, win or lose. If we got good fights constantly everybody would have a couple of loses.

Damn Rios as a ref?? Even Steve Smoger would be like "I think Brandon stopped that kinda late. Mattysse was clearly dead"
