Comments Thread For: Provodnikov's Manager: Matthysse Out; Maybe Rios or Granados

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Dont you remember the fight? the first time he fell it looked like it was over cause he was just nodding his head and didnt care but weeks let him keep going but then like 5 seconds later he goes down on his own and then Weeks calls it off. Rios just had a bad night or went for the check. In the end i think he and R.Garcia knew it and just sent him in there for the money which is why he switched trainers. All im saying is if rios wants to win back the public this is the fight he needs.

yeah I remember it thats why I say weeks should just count him out it does no one any favors by stopping it, it actually robs bradley of an accolade.

but yeah I think Rios and Garcia knew they were in trouble not cause it was bradley or anything but cause of the weight, garcia was talking about they thought the fight was gonna be called off like a few weeks before the fight happened cause rios was still like 40lbs over weight and the weight wasnt coming off.

BUt yeah intrested to see how he comes back, my guess is he comes back strong 1 fight and old habbits kick in and hes fat again.

Yeah i see that happening too. Well hes barely in his early thirties but i think just two more fat checks from TR and then he calls it a day.

actually from what I gather from the ellie videos is that toprank is weary of rios, their fed up with his constant weight issues etc and that they arent even gonna give him a name fight when he comes back just to check how he looks and how serious he is.

So even though Rios vs Ruslan is a fight I want to see Idoubt top rank is interested in that fight at this time.

lol yeah he has had issues. But that fight has war written all over it. I guess they would like to have it as an undercard fight for ali-vargas or something

Very Hard To Find Anyone For Provo!

Nobody really wants to get hit by Provo. Even if they move and drop jabs on him all night, they will get hit and hit often. Remember what Algieri's eye looked like. Remember how mangled Matthysse looked after he eeked out a decision on his feet. Khan said no to the offer they sent him. Bradley won't offer a rematch. It's wise Matthysse stays away, because just they two fights (Provo, Postol) Matthysse is a shot fighter, I love the guy, but it won't take much from anyone with a decent punch to finish Matthysse's career, next time out at 147. Would love to see Provo vs Herrera do it again. Like a guy who fights!

I'd sure like to see Granados get a chance at Ruslan.

I like that guy. He fought with a lot of heart to overcome Imam, whom I also think pretty highly of.

Would be a war.
