Ruslan Provodnikov is used to brutal and tough battles.
Take his close 12 round unanimous decision loss at the hands of Timothy Bradley in March of 2013. Or grinding his way to stopping Mike Alvarado after the 10th round seven months later.
Bruises, cuts over his eyes, and aching bodies are some of the battle scars Provodnikov has endured in recent fights. Then again, it all comes with the territory as a pugilist in the fight game.
There is a guarantee Provodnikov could go through all that again in his anticipated war tonight against Lucas Matthysse in their 12 round bout at the Turning Stone Casino and Resort in Verona, N.Y.
The bout will air live on HBO, beginning at 9:45 p.m. ET/ 6:45 p.m. PT.
Then again, Provodnikov is used to living through adversity and having to grind.
