Clearly superior? he was lucky to get a gift win. That BHop money got judges on lock.

I like both these guys, they gave as Triple G might say 'a big show, Mexican style.'

[JD Salinger]

he aint done nothing bad to me? he's enhanced racism in the sport of boxing without ever speakin out on it and tellin his fans hey that is not the way..he like the idea of his skin tone being good vs evil...and ain u guys the same ppl that like ppl getting beat up cross the head with no defense...then when they die u all sad n crap like u didnt see it coming...GTFOH

So now he enhanced racism in the sport of boxing when it's actually Floyd who has a racist rant online? Man, seriously get some help. You're losing it.

Great Fight

Props to both fighters. Ruslans and tough SOB

[Tobi.G]

Neither fighter doing anything spectacular. Not impress; two unskilled fighters.

What an ignorant Statement! It was a great fight. get out of here.

HE GOT NO CHIN BUT TOOK DANNY BEST SHOT? AND DANNY DROPPED LUCAS?? boy stop hating..provo done lost to two non power punchers in my book...herrera and algieri...now why in gods name can the much slicker peterson not clown dude round in and round out? suck penile hater u know squat

Well thats actually true to some degree. I see Peterson winning on points against Provo. Provo has not much skill and a bad defense but hes still a great fighter to watch and he makes it a hard fight for any opponent. Nobody would have a easy time with him in the ring.

Xcellent biut...Ruslan takes far2 many hard shots...his old age may not b ezy...

i knew all along this would happen lucas was the superior boxer tore his body took provo's power away and picked him apart
*edit props to both fighters thought they deserve praise nothing but positive things from both fighters

The scores were much closer than they should be. But Ruslan hurt Matts bad in the 11th. He didn't even through any power in the 12th.

I was at the fight last night. 9 rows from the ring.
It's was a close fight but I felt the right fighter got the decision. I noticed that a lot of the fight fans there felt Ruslan actually won it.

Big respect to both men. Was an awesome fight and the atmosphere was electric.

Would love to see a rematch because that cut definitely impacted the fight.

[Showtime..]

Watched the fight wasted with a couple friends. I though Lucas clearly won, but Ruslan had him shook a few times which took me by surprise. I did see Ruslan hurt once after a wicked combo but otherwise, he was coming forward like a robot.

I knew all along too matthysse would win, the only thing that suprised me is Provo going 12 with Lucas and he wasnt seriously hurt at any point in the fight!
Provo is a damn freak! Unbelievable toughness!
