Official Matthysse vs Provodnikov Fight Thread

[Psylence83]

these 2 are gonna beat the **** outta each other its not going all 12

I'm picking lucas by t/ko but won't be suprized at all if it goes the distance. They're both tough dudes!!

[lightsout15]

I got ruslan winning in a firefight. He' ll win the exchanges Because he's got the faster hands. People don't realize how fast Ruslan's hands are.

[FerFAL]

I'm thinking Ruslan stops him late

Gets to him. Lucas won't be able to help himself but to get involved in a brawl.

But what makes you think Matthysse cant win punch for punch against Provo? Really? Balls to walls, as they say in Argentina ley del palo x palo. Why wont Lucas win that? Lucas has faced the prongest punchers of the two and gave all of them hell, putting most of them down. Provo? Looking at his rsume most where pretty light punchers all things consider. Cant take Algieri down? after a Ko in the first round and just one eye opened?
Questions, Questions.

lol no way this fight goes the distance or even come near it, no way. corner stoppage, ref stoppage, KTFO, TKO stoppage. ruslan will fight an uphill battle the longer it goes, his face deteriorates easy and lucas is a strong finisher, his power doesn't fade.

surprise at the poll I thought it won't be that obvious. I picked Matthysse KO too btw but I don't think that it will be a calssical TKO/KO I think it will be either a RTD or a towel throw.

Ruslan is tougher. Yes Lucas is tough as nails too but I'm telling you man, Provo is mentally demented /twisted. He wil get hit by Lucas and smile and keep coming. That's what I invisage. Lucas doesn't react as well when he takes a big shot.
And Ruslan not being able to get to algeiri doesn't have anything to do with winning a brawl

Ruslan almost KO'ed Bradley late and stopped Alvarado late. He didn't fade vs Alvarado. He started getting to him more and more. Yea his face swells up but Lucas does mark up too

I'm excited.

didn't say he would fade. ruslan either stops lucas early or gets stopped late because his face is too ****ed up to continue or via legit KO.

Then agian if Ruslan comes out on round one like a bull he can easily eat a big shot and end up nite nite. Lucas has put many down for the first time in thier career, even proven solid guys.
The one thing I know, its gonna be a good fight thats for sure!

is true, he almost stopped bradley late in the fight. but in the mid rounds is when lost that fight. he ran out of gas after the first 2. i don't remember well the alvarado fight, so i might watch it again.
