    He's basically a strong tough-guy with a decent chin. He has ZERO boxing ability. What does Roach or that little Filipino guy even teach him?

        Provodnikov's style is to have his hands constantly in position to counter with power. It's the same reason he doesn't use a high guard, the transition from one posture to another takes too long for him. He has slow/very slow handspeed for the top level so his focus at mid to long range is on timing counter hooks.

          he is what he is.

          a top 10 gatekeeper.

          if you have no skills and no chin.

          you shall not pass.

          enjoy his next few fights, he'll be shot in a year or two.

            Wouldn't be surprised if he's near-shot already. The Matthysse fight was hard to watch at times.

              there's something about power punchers with chins.

              you just scream "WORK THE BODY", "GET INSIDE"

              but they don't really. they just plod along.

              if they threw and pressured like a juan diaz, joe frazier style, they'd be hard to beat.
