Much like the rest of us, promoter Oscar De La Hoya was on the edge of his seat with excitement and worry when it came to the violence that was Matthysse-Provodnikov. Matthysse did his best to avoid danger throughout the fight but with Provodnikov, danger is only one punch away. Provodnikov landed a left hook that hurt Matthysse and it was a moment that was worrisome to De La Hoya.
“I was worried then and until the last bell rang.” De La Hoya told Boxingscene.com “With a fighter like Provodnikov, you have to worry until the last bell. I mean its two warriors, two ****ers, and two real fighters, there’s no letting your guard down here. The fans knew, it was a sold out crowd. You could have had this fight anywhere across the globe and we would have sold out any arena. The fans know when you have two fighters who love to fight, who understand the game of fighting, you’re going to get a good fight.”
