Comments Thread For: Lucas Matthysse: I'm Confident I'll Beat Provodnikov!

[Thutch2412]

Im hype for this fight, and I like both guys, I like Lucas a little more because he has a better overall skillset than Provo, experience goes to Lucas as well, but for some reason I think Provos style will be enough to win. Either guy can drop the other, chins will be a factor, but I think Lucas loses this one.

if its close and goes to a decision I expect it to go to TR.

The real winner will be the one that ends up with less brain damage. cant wait for this war!

I got Matthysse winning on cuts in the 8th

I have Ruslan winning this fight. Lucas will be tested and we'll find out how he'll respond to adversity. Lucas does not have the height, length and quickness of Algeiri. Ruslan will pressure him every second of each round. Ruslan can take a punch. Can Lucas handle Ruslan's? A very good fight!

Just curious, why are you implying Ruslan can take Matthysse's power but not the other way around?
Which one of his last 9 fights proves your point? Was it Castillo-W, Algieri-L, Alvarado-W, Bradley-L, Reynoso-W, Torres-W, Corley-W, Popoca-W, or Yakovenko-W?
I think this fights a war but I have more concerns for Ruslan's chin and facial bruises, than I do for Matthysse chin and eye.

Both exciting fighters, I love Matthysse because he can box if he wants to and he can slug it out as well. Provo is a big guy compare to Matthysse and he will bull rush Matthysse. I'm not sure if Matthysse can handle Provos punches because of weight differential come fight night, and I'm not sure if Provo can handle Matthysse's power. It's who ever can handle a punch better will win the fight. But it's not gonna be a twelve round fight, Matthysse could be put to sleep or TKO by Provo, and or Provo could be stop by
Matthysse through cuts. I haven't seen Provo on his butt so I guess his chin is alright so far, we will see once Matthysse's big shots lands on his chin see how he'll hold up.

And as far as Matthysse want to rematch Garcia? Why not? Garcia didn't dominated Him, it was a close fight until that eye starts to swell up and clearly bothered Matthysse. Why not prove his critics wrong that he is not afraid to get in the ring with Matthysse again? Besides, it's not like he's not gonna get paid big time if he decided to give him a rematch. Plus I'm pretty sure if Matthysse won that fight and Danny want a rematch, he'll give it to him in a heart beat. That's how true warriors act and think.

Anyway, goodluck to both of them, hard to root for each one of them since I like them both. War Matthysse!!!! War Provotnikov. Thank you for giving us a great night of fighting however it will last.

lmfao some just exposed them selves, lol if it turns into battle of the chins you think provo will win? lmfao go sit your casual ass down somewhere and leave the real boxing talk to the big boys who know what they are talking about.

Hey loud mouth, I've been a hard core boxing fan for 35+ years, so you know what you can do with that casual crap. Novel idea, instead of just running your mouth, how about just paying attention to what's actually happening in the ring. Mattysse been down 3x in his last 3 fights. Provo never been down and I can't remember even seeing his stunned. Again, Mattysse has most of the advantages, but if he chooses to ignore them and turn this into a battle of chins and wills, Provo will win

Sick fight!!...Lucas gonna **** him up though!!

[brickcityboxing]

Most likely, Provodnikov will land a lucky "swipe" thus fracturing eye orbit and blinding Lucas and causing him to lose again.

But but his eye ... It's not fair! It's not faaaaaiiiiiirrrrrr !!!!!

[Chrismart]

Brutal fight, i can't wait. I'm going with Lucas winning.
