Ruslan looking an absolute beast in training

[FerFAL]

Ruslan looks strong but his defence is badly lacking, is he going to let Matthysse have a free shot on his face like this as early as the 3rd round?





because if he does, with Matthysse, that might be it.

Pretty much. That's why I see Matthysse winning in spite of looking pretty strong. Strong alone does win fights, and at the end of the day the Machine still has more power. The worst thing Provo has goign for his is that defense based on stopping punches with his face, if that his gameplan... I cringe at the idea of Matthysse takign shots at that exposed face.

[Weebler I]

I'll take the fighter with the better skills, power & everything else.
Sig bet, avi or whatever

Ruslan's looking impressive though.

I'd like Ruslan's chances better if he didn't defend with his face.

I cringe at the idea of Matthysse takign shots at that exposed face.

If it does go down that road I hope his trainer knows when to throw the towel in because Roach isn't going to be there.

na no way i would think he only does that against fighters who he knows cant hurt him

i think lucas is a bit shot. Sad to say

ruslan is lookong very strong and of molina can knock lucas down
ruslan will too. I hope lucas can prove me wrong.

[NEETzsche]

this fight is gonna come down to pure toughness and provodnikov has the advantage there

Sig and avi

2 weeks



I just think Ruslan takes shots better. He will keep coming. If Molina was as relentless as Ruslan and didn't just throw one punch at a time, he would hVe stopped Lucas.

Lucas is gonna try boxing but eventually they gonna just brawl. And even though Lucas has shorter punches, Lucas can't out fight the Siberian beast

[Strategic1]

Ruslan hasn't lost a clear cut decision. Herrera, Bradley, Algieri. You can make the argument that he won all 3. lol.

I think Ruslan wins and there will be knockdowns along the way. Not sure about a knockout/stoppage but it is quite possible.

[CANELOLUJAH]

good and I hope hes on the juice too anything to atleast be able to defend himself and hopefully not get permanent damage from the onslaught he will be receiving.

I hope this fight doesn't play out like Rios/Alvarado 3, we need a back-and-forth FOTY battle from these two guys.
