I picked8th Rd. Looks like others did too lol. Matthysse ko/tko.

If it ends in 1 or 2 Provo by KO but my guess is Matthysse by 6th rd tko

Didn't realize you lived in Corona. I'm just down the 15

I'm pretty sure Provo will blast him out early...

Big statement there. Early? What makes you think so? He's gone all the way or ended up in late KO with any boxer worth anything, why would he stop Matthysse early when he's proven to be uncapable of doing so against average boxers?

His only chance is early so it's not that out there honestly.

That's his best chance is early. I think lucas will have to much machismo and try and slug it out and catch some of those right hand bombs. Just my opinion. If you read the op, it's a fight that's too close for me to call, so I chose Provo.

Provodnikov stood up to the punches of Bradley, Algieri and Herrera but Matthysse is a tremendous puncher and all those guys are not. I think Provo is going to be surprised or at least busted up.

matthysse's eyes close up after the halfway point and he is finally forced to retire in the 9th

[HanzGruber]

5th round ko for Ruslan. Lucas is gonna get worldstar'd

[NEETzsche]

provodnikov disfigures everyone who steps in the ring with him, regardless of whether he gets the decision or not. matthysse showed in the garcia fight that he doesn't deal with that kind of adversity very well at all. matthysse is gonna look like quasimodo by the end

the thing is Provodnikov usually ends up looking like quasimodo even against feather fisted punchers...
