    Ruslan's durability > Matthyse's punch. I'm so confident that Ruslan will not be stopped that I'll take any ban bets on not getting stopped.

    Matthysse ain't stopping squat, who has he stopped at the higher level besides Peterson?

    He couldn't stop Zab, couldn't stop Alexander, got punked by Garcia.

    None of those guys came to slug with him ruslan will come to slug like Molina and get knocked out.

    All the guys who beat him had to outbox him ruslan does not have it in him to box.

    Corner or ref stoppage late in a war, either way. Can't wait for this.

    Nah, I doubt it. I think it's more likely Provodnikov stops Matthysse then vice versa.

    Matthysse will just elect to outbox him, which he will do easily.

    I think Prov might have a better chin and he's faster than Lucas, he might get an early lead, but I think Lucas eventually wears him down. Prov when he attacks the body he's much more effective, that's how he destroyed Alvarado. He turns one dimensional when he's just headhunting.

    MATTHYSSE will knock him out within 8-10 rds I think.
    Matthysse does everything better he was also clearly outboxing Garcia before the eye injury Lets not forget.

    Provo seems to have a pretty good beard, so probably not, however he might be stopped on a mess up eye or something.

    I'm a big fan of Provo but let's stop and think for a minute. Who is the biggest puncher he's faced Mike Alvarado who's an okay puncher, Herrera I love but he probably couldn't knock out a fly, Bradley is the epitome of a featherfist. Other than that what big puncher has he faced..... none. Bradley had him beaten up pretty bad by the end of that match, and Freddie was threatening to stop it for a few rounds.


    Lucas on the other hand took bombs from Garcia big puncher, Molina big puncher, and Soto who's a decent puncher and he took the shots pretty well and recovered when he was hurt.

    Ruslan takes guys out over the long haul, not right away and Herrera and Bradley have Iron Chins, while Lucas' chin may not be made of iron anymore its still quite durable, and since Timmeh says Lucas hit him harder than anyone he's been in the ring with that includes Ruslan, I'm not sure how well Provo's chin will hold up repeatedly running face first into power punches from La Machina all night long. Lucas by standing TKO or corner stoppage.

    you contradict yourself by saying lucas took Molina and garcia shots well he did not he went down 3 times and soto was pushing him back.I also disagree that alverado is just an ok puncher his power is better than ok.
