    People forget that Provo was taking so much punishment from BRADLEY that Roach nearly stopped the fight. Provo was rocked by BRADLEY multiple times in their fight.

    He was never "rocked." His face was a mess but he wasn't once rocked. Just saying some **** don't make it true.

    Hahahahaha!

    Regarding Roach's supposed threat to stop the Bradley fight, that was a ploy to motivate his fighter. Provo wasn't taking that much punishment but he took the middle rounds off.

    Provo is going to bust up Algieri.

    Danny Garcia should fight Provodnikov.

    Honestly, Provodnikov is probably the easiest to defeat of any of the "elite tier of their division" fighters in all of boxing, really. Highly overrated on the principle of losing the FOTY to Bradley and then beating down Alvarado. He is very crude and predictable, even limited. But Algeri is not the man to put it all together. I mean, c'mon, Algeri seems a decent fighter but there is a reason why he is the opponent.

    Prior to Provo joining Wild Card Gym, I would have agreed with you. He was easy to hit. Since then, however, he is a more punishing puncher and is hit less often. He is still hit more than Roach wants, I am sure, but still much better. He has come a long way since fighting in Ekaterinburg. Provodnikov has the heart of a lion.

    True indeed.

    Cool story.

    Everyone has opinions.

    Not everyone can accept that their view isn't everyone else's, I guess.

    I don't think Provodnikov does well against world class boxers, such as PBF and Danny Garcia. He prefers guys to go toe to toe with him. He wins a high percentage of those exchanges.

    My sense is Algieri believes his own press clippings. That will be his undoing.
