      Provodnikov is the definition of a badass but he takes so much punishment it's not even funny. At some point in your career your body will start breaking down. His boxing style puts excessive wear and tear on his body. I don't know if his body will hold up too well anymore. All those big shots to the head over and over again. I got a headache just watching this fight. I felt the same way when he fought Bradley. He seems like a very nice guy so I hope he doesn't end up punch-drunk.....

        dunno about that, most ppl felt lucas won clearly, the rounds lucas won were dominant and had ruslan's head looking like a pez dispenser

        this was ruslan's most obvious loss IMO

                There's guys that will literally die on their feet before going down. Not common but thats how some people are wired. Its not as good as it sounds. Actually it can be pretty dangerous. Provodnikov took a hell of a beating today.

                  warrior! he deserves a nice paycheque. I hope they got paid decently this match.. They both earned it.

                  That was a nasty cut and his face was bloodied up because of it each round. Not easy.

                      Ruslan earned allot of respect from me tonight. He's a real warrior. To be cut early in the fight like that, against an elite power puncher. To go all 12 rounds and come close to taking the fight. Shows he has the heart of a lion. You see his face after the fight? He too a hell of a beating and came through it.

                      Respect
