    matthysse is not durable as ruslan or even rios

    I have already gone on record predicting ruslan beats him late on with big right hands connecting through out the bout eventually causing the stoppage :yep

    i have strong suspicions on the current state of lucas's mandible

    You know that's not how boxing works. Just because fighter A beats someone better than fighter b it doesn't really prove anything. Also Prov was not with Roach at the time and has vastly improved, while lucas seems to be on a down fall since his fight with Garcia. You can't tell me you think Molina is a better boxer than Ruslan, and his defense is any better. I also think Ruslan hits harder than Molina at 140, though debatable.

    Meh-I wouldn't take much notice most of the time of what people say about what happens in sparring, although I do think Matthysse has the edge in one punch power over Provo.

    Yeah I know.....but Lucas hits harder and is a better all around boxer, Provo will break up over time and be TKO'd or out and out stopped. I'm sticking with my opinion. We'll see.:hey

    Ruslan is just too much man for Lucas i just don't see how lucas could break ruslan:yep

    zab judah,alexandra and other fighters went the distance with lucas and ruslan has a far far better chin than those bums:yep


    this fight will come down to how much either of them can take and i like both of them as well :yep

    I can see that happening too, Lucas does hit pretty damn hard, but I think Ruslan is much more durable than Molina, and Molina made it to 11, I just can't see anyone stopping Ruslan, but if one guy can do it, it's definitely lucas. If the Lucas that fought Molina shows up I think Lucas gets hurt badly.
