HBOS Hack Job actually made people think that fight was close.

Boxing is scored on around by round basis not by punch count. Some rounds were lopsided for Matthyse but Ruslan clearly won 4, including the last two. Anywhere from 7-5 to 8-4 Lucas was good. A draw would've been a stretch.

Why do people keep saying this? Provo was getting rds from people for landing a hard punch or two at the end.

Just stop it haters. Provodnikov won 4 rounds and that's it.

The Announcers should stay out of the ***ing way and call what the see in he ring for BOTH FIGHTERS! I don't like how guys like Lampley and Kellerman try so hard to make things more Dramatic than they really are

They are simply doing the job they are paid to do. Do you expect them to tell viewers "Well, this is so one sided that you may as well change the channel and watch something else. This one is done."? They are there to keep the viewers entertained and watching the fight. If you want really poor commentary, have a listen to SRL on one of the PBC shows. That almost qualifies as stand up comedy it is so far off the mark.

Totally agree with the TS honestly, and Im not even a fan of Matthysse. I don't give Provo more than 4 or 5 rounds, dont think it was a close fight at all. Can't see how Letterman gave Provo round 3 for god sake. Some rounds Provo was only blocking punches with his face and doing something the last 30 seconds and they gave him the round.

I still cant count the number of jabs Provo ate all night. Blocking punches with your face don't make you deserve to win a fight. Also Matthysse was doing a good job at partially blocking punches or rolling with them, while Provo was eating them flush.

I see ****sexual desires for Matthysse are stronger than ever.

Was not close at all. Fun fight but one-sided
