    I mean, that dude is a beast and I can see him making some waves at 147. I know he's not exactly the most refined, but his power and pressure style could create problems for a lot of guys.

    Rios vs Provodnikov would be awesome. It's a shame Rios is being fed to Manny though. I'm worried for Rios' health after this

    Rios is going to have the shortest prime in history lol I have little doubt that he'll end up facing Matthysse too.

    Sung Kill Provodnikov is a killer. I think Top Rank will give him a stay busy fight against a guy he obliterates and then early next year he gets to fight the winner of Pac-Rios, him against Rios or Pac is must see TV, that **** would be brutal.

    Will probably show up on the undercard of Bradley-Marquez is my guess.You can't keep a good man down-and he needed the rest.

    It's not really even educated pressure, he basically had a pillow-fisted deadman in front of him for 10 rounds and he still couldn't seal the deal.

    Huge (sic) punch, not much else though. Matthysse already got that niche covered, just a little more refined.

    as much as the russian made a fan of me i have to agree with this. a badly hurt fighter's heart can prolong a fight only so long if the opponent is a half way decent finisher.

    PEople talk about him normally.....he simply isn´t that special, I mean, he is certainly fun to watch but a guy like James Kirkland is fun to watch as well.....
    Provodnikov showed his limitations in the Bradley fight, can´t finish a fight, horrible combination puncher (not creative at all, don´t go to the body that well)...
