[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Johannesburg, October 27 - Former world champion Ruslan Provodnikov (24-4, 17 KOs) says he will be in great shape for next weekend’s showdown with Jesus Alvarez Rodriguez (13-0, 10 KOs) in Monte Carlo as he was in training for a fight in New York at the same time.

Those plans changed, though, because “six or seven opponents changed their mind about fighting me”. They include Amir Khan and Shawn Porter.

The Russian’s in-your-face style makes him a tough fight for anyone and it’s little surprise that many big names have baulked at the chance to challenge him.

Provo still has same mindset go to war. That means he is not taking idea of slipping inside working the body for a few rounds then going upstairs seriously. He will resort back to wild headhunting with no volume and take 3 to land 1. Totally different then diaz's plan. He should study young Tyson. Lots of head movement peekaboo style Jab your way in then work body then head. Cut off ring keep fighter pinned on ropes work down and up break down opponent.

Eventually he will suffer margarito type injury or worse. He will have short career with health issues in the future. Refuses to or is not being taught any kind of defense. Sad he is entertaining but elite fighters know to jab him move on him cut him up swell him up. He will never be elite unless drastic changes made asap
