Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto vs. Ruslan Provodnikov in Play For June 18th?

[bigjavi973]

A nothing bout IMO /Cotto 2 big...he's doing an alvarez w/smaller guys...

Cotto is 5'7" with a measly 67" reach and weighs UNDER the JMW limit.

[roxy]

Provodnikov is in opponent mode. Cotto beats him up.

[PeasantCrusha]

Cotto isn't a 147lb'er lets be real here, he hasn't weighed in there in like 6 years

But though, Khan is a middleweight though.

Its very easy to go up anybody can do it , going down healthy is an entirely different ballgame , Cotto will be like a bag at 147 he is too old and too long at 154 and above , today 147 would kill Cotto .

provodnikov is just a punching bag,, he cuts easily and is a beat up fighter,, i guess hes the perfect guy to make cotto look good

I mean I guess no one has an easy night with Provo... Bradley fight was competitive. Algieri fight was debated. Matthysse fight I thought was fairly competitive, only because after Provo hurt Matthysse in Round 11 Matty just danced his way to the end of the fight banking on having enough of a lead to get the decision. Also I thought he beat Herrera.

Idk, guess I'm trying to see the good in this. Doesn't really make any sense to me. Would prefer an actual WW at least.

We Need Marquez vs Provodnikov. Top Rank is snoozing. Ya'll gonna see a bigger ET face than what Lucas did..

This would bring Marquez vs Bradley II

Compared to the fights we've been getting Marquez vs Ruslan seems like a welcome change of pace lol...

Rios vs Ruslan, Cotto vs Marquez!! in a perfect world,....

Nah I don't wanna see that anymore. Rios looked horrendous against Bradley... Hopefully Rios' change of trainers works out for him though and we see this fight at some point.

Whats the point?

That was bradley though, a completely diff style fighter than ruslan. Ruslan and Rios will meet each other in the center and start throwing leather

[JJRod]

I like the fight. Good come back fight for Cotto after a loss. Provodnikov is a tough dude who always brings it. Make it happen.

[Raonic]

It should be a fun fight.
