Matthysse:"Provodnikov next, march 28"

[Weebler I]

... you are honestly trying to argue that Ruslan Provodnikov should be an unbeaten fight. lol

No, an unbeaten fighter.

Did Bradley beat him clearly? no.
Did Herrera beat him clearly? no.
Did Algieri beat him clearly? no.

No one conclusively beat this guy.

I don't think it's that far of a stretch. As much as Herrera has been robbed lately, I thought he was given a gift against Ruslan. I thought that was a clear win for Provo.

In the Bradley fight,I thought Provodnikov won the war but scoring round by round Bradley won. Ruslan did way more damage in the rounds he won but I think Bradley won 7 rounds. However if they called the knockdown right in the beginning of the fight, I think it was a draw.

I personally thought Ruslan won the Algieri fight. I don't call it a robbery (and I don't remember my exact score), but I think with the 2 knockdowns, Ruslan won close.

People give him a lot of unwarranted hate for losing to Algieri.
Lucas gets a lot of unwarranted hate for losing to Garcia as well so I feel bad for the loser of this one. Everyone wants the best to fight the best and when one of the two best loses he becomes a scrub. People are ridiculous.

Lucas by easy ko/tko. Provo has never felt real power. His face wont hold up if he doesnt get kod.

[Nights King]

Haymon was doing him a favor. Ruslan sparkes him out

I'm with you. I think Lucas stops him late due to cuts.

[#YOLO]

Vamos Matthysse

This is no FOTY, I see Lucas stopping him in 6.

[BIG GUNZ]

leaves haymon and immediately stops fighting bums and starts fighting good fighters.

Well to be fair, John Molina Jr. isn't a bum. He's not an elite fighter, but he's far from being a bum. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he beats Broner.

Lucas Pro's
Good chin
Very hard puncher
Very durable
Very fit never gassed

Lucas Cons
Loses concentration if handicapped

Provodnikov Pro's
Very good chin
Good power
Very durable

Provodnikov Cons
One dimensional
Gasses through mid rounds
Poor defence

Id say thats a fair analysis Id pick Lucas is Provo cant hurt him badly, Lucas TKOs him on cuts.

Whilst that might be true but it's better than fighting Salka and a getting gift decision.

Reasonable analysis however I think stylistically Provodnikov can destroy him quickly. Matthysse need to box here.
