I'd take Provo in this fight as I don't think Broner has the footwork or power to keep him away for the entire 12 rounds. Provo also throws tonnes of punches and will not stop coming forward which against Broner I feel would work tremendously as Broner doesn't throw enough punches.
When will you idiots learn, there will be no fights between GOLDEN BOY/ SHOWTIME & HBO / TOP RANK! The root cause lies with the latter too!
Prov is Banner Promotions, and AFAIK has no contract with HBO. Prov has said he will be loyal to HBO since he is grateful to HBO for giving him his big break, but HBO might even tell Prov to take the fight if he can... after Broner burned HBO, I cant help but think that Hershman wouldnt consider getting him in the ring with Ruslan would be anything but sweet sweet revenge.
Ruslan was taking damage from Bradley because he punched himself out in the first 3 rounds and gassed out. During the middle rounds he looked like a zombie.
Broner defence is **** and he's a knockout waiting to happen, but I think he'll beat Provodnikov but as per usual he'll struggle doing it.
first lets see Broner beating convincingly guys like Alexander, Garcia, Matthysse or Guerrero and then I'd give him a decent chance vs Provodnikov. Broner cherrypicked a pillowfisted-high profile semi-shot opponent with an ABC strap in PM and barely won the fight by SD. Maidana, even if hes a raw plodder will test Broner.
butthurt about what? Provo's best win is Alvarado. nuff said. he don't punch harder than Marcos, he's not a better boxer than Marcos either. he hasn't faced the same caliber of opponents as marcos. he is hype. just a replacement for Matthysse after he got exposed..
hype ?:think watch again and again that fight vs Bradley and you'll that Provo put on a boxing clinic on Bradley. Bradley was stretched into an ambulance after the fight with Provodnikov.
