Comments Thread For: John Molina: We Knew We Had To Outwork Provodnikov To Win

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Surprise. The expected war that was expected between Ruslan Provodnikov and John Molina never materialized. What might have been the bigger surprise was Molina sticking to his game-plan of using his jab and outboxing Provodnikov, especially during the second half of the fight.

Great job by Molina tonight in keeping his composure and sticking to the plan.

Glad to see him finally get that big win.

Wouldn't mind seeing Matthysse/ Molina II

Fair play to Molina. I didn't expect him to use the jab so effectively to halt Ruslan's attacks. Wasn't shy letting his hands go either.

Good job.

Great win for Molina obviously, but strangely, Provo would probably steamroll Adreem Bonehead and get a good W... get his spirit back. That would be almost like a Maidana II.

Ruslan still has no D. Unless he develops a Frazier style, early Tyson style, or a crouch he will always be outboxed by any decent and elite fighter. He does not have 1 punch ko power he has to out volume others not the other way around like last night almost doubled

Bad after fight interview Ruslan seems to have lost spark fire killer instinct. Seems lethargic with his desire to be the champ. His chin is still solid but his spirit seems gone. Had multiple trainers so it's him. Has to try one more trainer who adds a little D, bob and weave, crouch, jab your way in. Even peekaboo. Being a heavy bag only can work if you can end it with a bomb any time he doesn't have that power doesn't throw enough busted up every fight
