Comments Thread For: Matthysse Studied Algieri in Preparation for Provodnikov

That explains why he never stood still against provo. The fight and war everyone was hoping for in the fight never happened cause Matthysse boxed. Rios vs Provodnikov will be the fight this one was billed as. Can you imagine that fight. One of them would probably die a couple days after the fight in hospital

In that kinda, fight Provo takes it.

Though I think Rios will try to box 'em early and then be drawn into a fight late where he get's stopped.

It was still a war imo.

Matthysse fought smart. It would have been ****** to go into a firefight with Ruslan when he has the superior skills.

Running around is not a gameplan. His best moments were when he fought like himself

Matthysse vs Bradley and Rios vs Provodnikov?

[elishua F]

provodnikov is totally useless. . wtf does he bring to the table except a chin to block punches with. the guy has no jab, no head movement, no nothing.. just a complete garbage can. mathysse obliterated that fool. i know during the build up ruslan was expecting to face a punching bag just like himself, but Lucas lit him up with exceptional boxing skills. good work.

this fight showed the versatility of lucas, you can bet nobody is rushing to face him now after proving he's more than a punching bag brawler.

Lucas vs Marcos

[Beercules]

so its safe to say that Matthysse corner DID let Matthysse out of his cage?

I think so.


Lucas really lit Ruslan up, when round 1 started I was like "damn!"

Matthysse beat the brakes off of Ruslan Provodnikov !! Ruslan Provodnikov takes to much punishment!! Lucas Matthysse hit him with everything but the kitchen sink!!

nah he threw the kitchen sink at him in the 6th round i'm pretty sure.
