Comments Thread For: Provodnikov Targets Adrien Broner For The Fall, SHO is Interested

[Rip Chudd]

Provodnikov would destroy Broner in exactly the same way Maidana did, no way this fight gets made.

I'm with you on this, Provo whoops him. Broner has the tools but he just doesn't know how to use them, he doesn't process fast enough in the ring, not to mention his laziness in not letting his hands go. He thinks too much of his power in that he won't throw many combos and thinks he is just gonna hurt you with one shot. That may work with the Theophanes of the world but it won't with Ruslan.

I don't understand this.

Wasn't it after the Algieri fight that Ruslan cut the post-fight saying he can't and won't handle fighters who refuse to fight in the pocket? Broner's not going to pull a Bradley with this dude. Bad style matchup.

Ruslan SHOULD face Errol Spence. Now that'd be a barn burner - and if Spence stopped Ruslan, he'd yet again prove he's the truth.

Depending on how Ruslan looks against Molina.. I can totally see him wrecking Broner. Winner of that can fight a champ at 147.

Provodnikov is a mid range close range fighter Broner can outbox him at long range behind the jab pick him apart

[turnedup]

Provodnikov would have to have a high punch output. Doubt broner can drop him so he's gotta have Broner in defense mode.

thats the way boxing works idiot. he's had more fights and sure is the better athlete period. provo has no defense and brone's going to tag him all fight long.

broner has no defense either lol. seriously dude, didn't you see the fight vs maidana? when you attack him, he gets frozen and doesn't throw back. and then again, when he had to step up again in competition vs porter he didn't fight back at all. and i'm the idiot?

[Squ□redCircle34]

The Serbian mini Caveman takes Broner's punches, smiles and proceeds to tag the body till Broner starts shaking his head like Floyd does, difference is that he will get tagged.

If Diaz makes the proper adjustments to Provo like I expect then I can see him stopping Broner. The dude hits like a battering ram and is relentless.

No one has ever made it look easy to beat Provo to date, Broner if he wants to win will go thru hell. This isn't Molina who shat the bed by just standing there and not throwing anything; Ruslan will throw and will throw a lot. I just hope he uses his jab more and goes to the body.

Provodnikov finishes what Chino started, 11th round TKO in a good fight.

The winner of Thurman vs Porter vs Garcia, with AB vs Provodnikov on the undercard in December pls

The winner of Thurman vs Porter vs Garcia, with AB vs Provodnikov on the undercard in December pls

Garcia waiting for the Porter/Thurman winner? That would take a minimum of three months before the first presscon is held. That would also be a looong layoff for Garcia whose last fight was five months ago. Even then you'd be lucky to see it get made in three months. And if it happens in December, then Garcia has almost reached a one-fight-a-year status.

true..very true..Broner is his own worst enemy

Yes he truly is. He has all the talent in the world but you never know which AB is going to show up. His performance against Molina made you think he was dedicated to the sport. Then in his next fight - without checking I believe it was Porter - it was like he checked out again. Ruslan is a one dementional brawler that broner should easily outclass but if he fights him like he did porter for 11 rounds I could see ruslan getting a ko victory.
