Robert Garcia, the trainer of former world champion Brandon Rios (33-2-1, 24KOs), says his fighter was in no way avoiding a potential fight with Ruslan Provodnikov (24-4, 17KOs).

Since the start of the year, fans have been talking up a possible Rios-Provodnikov collision. The fight had been mentioned at one point to Garcia and Rios, but it never materialized.

To be honest that's the was the second best choice for Provodnikov after Lucas. It's a shame it never came into fruition.

Turning down the fight fans want for a bigger fight; now where have I seen that before?

Very true. Thing is the duck people don't care about logic. So Rios is ducking Provo cuz he choose to fight a better opponent if you're a duck person.

Yep, Rios ducked Provodnikov and the fans missed out on one of the best action fights in boxing.

Stay retired Brandon.
