these 2 will try to kill each other

This has a feeling of Gatti-Ward, doesn't it?

pressuring a boxer-puncher usually doesnt go well. thing margarito/mosely. it'll be just like that. this fight is all lucas imo.

If John Molina can get Lucas to stagger around and get dropped then Ruslan has a good shot of beating him. Iron chin and big power... Gonna be a great fight.. Can't wait to be there live for this one, so pumped!!

There will be respect between these two fine warriors. Once that bell rings though...what you will witness is man vs man..the struggle to end another human being in order to be the last man standing...this shall be an epic event that will long be remembered by all boxing fans.

I really hope you're right. Matthysse's clearly the better fighter, but I need to see him put it together and beat Provodnikov's ass. Nothing against Ruslan, but I'm a Matthysse fan.

Want Matthysse to pull it off since his style is much more versatile and he has more of a future ahead of him, but brain says both are punchers and Provodnikov is not going to be outbrawled.

That my thinking as well, Molina couldn't even get off on Broner who was only using upper body movement and feints. Yet was landing on Lucas easily.
You're going? You lucky mofo. Have fun!

Crazy when you think about the brutality we'll see at the weekend.

I agree that Matthysse has the higher ceiling, but he's really only better than Provodnikov at mid to outside range. At close range he's no better, and that's where this will be fought. It's a question of which man breaks first.

gonna be such a good fight! winner should really get DG or DG vacates and goes 147 and winner can get Pederson

Yeah I'm making the 5 hour drive. The wife and I, no kids, the boxing hall of fame, and a great fight. If it wasn't for the wife coming it would be a perfect weekend lol.
