The "Slick" boxing style doesn't work on Eastern Euros like KOvalev Loma and....

Golovkin.

Slick Hopkins couldn't do **** vs Kovalev, neither could Sillakh.
Ouma, Monroe and Sugar Daniel Geale failed with a Slick style v GGG
Gary Russel Jnr is sort of slick and he failed spectacularly against Loma.

Slick Americans stand little chance against top EE fighters. I still think Ward would out hug GGG on the inside and beat him on points though, but apart from that American fighters, and indeed all other regions of fighters, don't stack up too well to these ex-Soviet bloc machines.

Provodnikov got beat by freaking Algieri...ALGIERI!! Generalizing is a poor recipe.

I had Provo winning close but you're right, not all Eastern Euros have great footwork. It's clear Golovkin and Kovalev do though, the slick style isn't going to do it against them.

Slick isn't even a style of boxing. Hopkins, Russell and Monroe are 3 completely different fighters.

Stop trying to instigate a race war with your code terms.

Senchenko lost to Paulie Malignaggi.

Provo ain't a top EE fighter. KOvalev Loma and GGG are beasts but have great skills and amazing ametuer records to go along with it.

I had Provo winning as well I think but there were many swing rounds.

Senchenko lost to Paulie Malignaggi.

Hahahaha come on man let's stick to relevant fights.

[ShoulderRoll]

What exactly do you mean by relevant? Paulie vs Senchenko was for a world title.

Provodnikov is a second tier Slavic fighter. Nice try.


Slavic fighters are the new ETHNIC group of Boxing.


Pretty soon: Slavic fighters >>> Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican and East Coast/Midwestern style African American Boxers.
