In the wake of his disappointing loss to John Molina this past weekend, Ruslan Provodnikov (25-5, 18KOs) faces an uncertain future in the boxing ring.

Maybe Ruslan should hire Teddy Atlas to train him.

Joel should tell Ruslan to JAB. Every jab he threw sent Molina's head back

In Round 11 Ruslan boxed & it was beautiful

Ruslan should drop Diaz with the quickness! The guy is not that helpful and is inconsistent with his work as a trainer! In their first fight together he had Provo work behind a jab and attack the body with FEINTS, feints I tell ou! Then he doesn't instruct Provo to do none of those thi ngs but just "throw more punches" or "you need to step it up"

Going back to Roach would work since Pacquiao has retired now.

He should go back up to 147. The Bradley fight showed he belongs there.

Who's looked more useless in a fighter's corner – Joel Diaz with Provodnikov (in the Molina fight), or Robert Garcia with Donaire (in the Rigondeaux fight)? Tough to call. One's saying "You gotta throw more punches!", whilst the the other splutters "Come on Nonito, we gotta... We gotta do something, man!" :durr1:

Ruslan needs him some Teddy Atlas for sure.

Provodnikov needs a PERMANENT hiatus from Joel Diaz. One of the worst trainers in the sport. Ruslan is limited anyway, he doesn't need a very limited trainer on his team.

He should go back up to 147. The Bradley fight showed he belongs there.

Exactly, he's clearly stronger there. Idk why his camp keeps dropping him to 140.
