B level fighter. Lost every step up fight but a pleasure to watch as he makes for good fights.

Yes but he "lost" those fights. They could have been draws or wins for him either way... Matthysse could be a draw and I'm a big Matthysse fan.

just checked the rankings, and it look slike molina isn't even in the top 50...

this is an exciting fight on paper, but it' really sholdn't be a main event. hopefully it delivers and makes me forget about molina's ranking. it was fine when he was on ESPN, but showtime is expensive.


if the fight really delivers i won't care much. that's why we're here, after all. boxing is compelling entertainment

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Molina isn't exactly consistent.

Roach's "understudy" did a HORRIBLE job that night, by the 6th rd provo was so beaten up the fight should've been stopped. I don't care that he came back and did better, it was only more punches from a legitimate power puncher that he didn't need. This fight will be a career ender for one, or both.

Provo won 5 of last 6 rounds. One judge had it a draw. It was similar to Garcia vs Peterson. The first six rounds were brutal but Ruslan is a train.

Yes, but a train with less brains now.

Glad he's getting a good deal out of this. He's earned it.

I have to agree, he's an all-action boxer who has definitely put in his dues. Can still remember watching him on FNF a few years ago.

If all goes right we could get Provo vs Broner in the fall...Molina seems like he's washed up but he may put up an entertaining scrap at least...

Provo makes for a good fight vs anyone because of his heart and no quit attitude and aggression..

[Mitchell Kane]

So much for that...

This deal was really just to get Demetrius Andrade. Ruslan and others like Willie Monroe is just extra
