Comments Thread For: Ruslan Provodnikov: Unlikely That I Will Ever Fight Again

[landotter]

timmy and ruslan should of both retired after a rematch

Still one of the best fights I have ever seen. What a war. I actually am happy both of them decided they were done as I think both could be competitive but neither were going to get any better, only worse.

Provodnikov maybe the most accomplished fighter to ever come out of ESPN's Friday Night Fights (which I still miss).

Such a shame that Bradley and Ruslan never rematched. We will never get to see.

I will truly miss this guys ferociously relentless style,never seen anything like it before or since then. He was like a lil JCC with a much more horrible Defense,man can this guy take some punishment,he makes ggg walking into punches look like Sugar ray Leonard,& thats why I loved watching his fights.

Everytime he steps in a ring you have to prepare to see 1 of the most brutal côck fights imaginable,hell dog fights dont do it justice,this level of brutality can only be compared to illegal horse fighting in the Philippines,& even that is more tame.

Illegal horse fighting ? Really ? Why haven't I heard of this ?

Yes he did. He was fun to watch and he had an amazing heart and chin! I think Marquez would of boxed him to a unanimous decision win but it would of been a great fight between them two warriors.

Yeah I would’ve definitely picked Marquez to win, I have a feeling it could’ve been a little like Bradley-Provodnikov. Marquez was always a little vulnerable when exchanging above 135.

We watch boxing because it's entertaining and this guy always brought the entertainment. I wish he'd got a Mayweather or Pacquaio fight at some point to make some silly money.

[Larry the boss]

He still could've done a farewell fight and cash in on an easy opponent, but maybe he has managed his money nicely.

Molina was supposed to be an easy opponent

[Laypipe]

I always thought Provo vs Bam bam would’ve been a classic....

[Sceptic]

Walking into punches takes its toll

Yeah, did you read the link i posted? Truly a brutal act of barbarity that I wish would end,& amazingly I ironically wish Ruslan wouldve continued if only vs a few more soft touches.
