    So if 2015 turns into the great fights being made like we enjoyed in 2013 we can add this one to the list.

    I think the Machine has better boxing ability, nice jab, than the Russian. The Machine also possess above average footwork, decent head movement and a nice ring IQ.

    Both guys have a solid chin however I think the RUSSAIN can take a sledgehammer on the chin:!: and still move forward....stalking you...like Michael Myers from Halloween:fire

    I always get the feeling when watching the Russian that he is just one punch away from putting anyone down for the count.:dead

    What do you guys think?:huh

    Ah right, Matthysse and Provodnikov. I couldn't figure who the hell the Machine and the Russian were suppose to be.

    No good original nicknames anymore?

    I like Lucas in this one. He's got good defense, power and a chin. Rusty's gonna be in for his toughest fight. Hopefully, Lucas's eye won't be a problem in this one.

    I don't think somebody who was hurt by Bradley can take a sledgehammer on the chin. I think he gets KO'd when Matthysse lands a few good power shots.

    I'd have to back Matthyse I this one. Maybe even by a KO 9-10 round maybe. Better boxer and more powerful than Provodnikov

    Not sure why people are ignoring the fact that Bradley hurt Provodnikov. Matthysse would get Provodnikov out of there.

    In my opinion, Mathysse is a little bit more clever and skilled. Provodnikov is good mid-range fighter, but he's slow and has poor defence. He had been eating those jabs by 10-years-out-of-prime Castillo until he knocked him out. Should he take the shots from Mathysse, especially body shots, he wouldn't make it 12 rounds. However, as he is a puncher himself, he has a chance to score a KO victory early in the fight.

    Some say Danny used his thumb but I think it was just bad luck for The Machine that night.:smoke
