Imam vs Provodnikov on November 14th?

Good test imo.

Fernando Carcamo, a local cab driver, put down mr. I dropped Amir Imam with literally 2 shots. Where is his massive hype?

Carcamo really dusted off Fidel, that's for sure. I saw that fight. Seen Carcamo fight a few times as well. Carcamo is one of those fighters who loses fights he should have won and wins fights he should have lost.

Provo will get worked. If he was crying about Algieri not standing in front of him (which was a dumb excuse) , Imam will do work on him.

Prov will find Inam much easier to catch than the fleet-footed Algieri. Inam moves well but his BIGGEST problem is he gets backed to the ropes easy. Ring center, circling he may win. Prov would be the favorite and rightfully so.

Good pop. Horribly inconsistent fighter.
He's also slower than the movement of tectonic shifts.

50/50 fight. Imam can be a bit flat footed at times and is open to the overhand right.

That's a damn good fight. Ruslan taken some Ls but the winners paid the price.

I know which fight he was referring to, it's just ******ed to say he 'almost lost'. People on here exaggerate everything, he went down and got straight back up, in what world is that almost losing?

[SlySlickSmooth]

This would test him, he's been dropped but definitely looks good when he boxes. Provodnikov could stop him if he's not careful.

Imam is a slow starter, esp defensively, he has to get hit before he warms up...takes a while before he starts to feel the punches coming. And then he looks good

but early on, he seems stiff and vulnerable, non reactive... Ruslan will probably land hard but he has had a difficult time sealing the deal when he does have guys hurt. would be a great test to watch

Fidel is the guy who dropped and hurt Inam. Whether he almost was stopped or not, that's up to you to decide.

Finally got around to watching the fight. It was a pretty good scrap, Imam had a bad round but recovered well. Wouldn't say that Imam almost lost since he pretty much knocked Fidel down in every round after the first but it was for sure a test of his chin and determination.

In my opinion that fight was a great learning point in Imam's career and should be look upon as a positive experience rather than negative.

Fight got cancelled for this weekend but I fight November 14th and I'm the main event

If he's gonna be the main event, it must be against a decent opponent, Provodnikov is rumoured to be returning around that date on Showtime, so maybe this one is being worked on?

I really hope so, if it gets made it'll be Imam's breakthrough fight. The boy is a problem.

Imam will win! Face first Prov gonna get beat down.
