I dont know if Diaz's screaming will do much for Ruslan since he can't speak English. Ruslan does need to go to the body way more after he hurts his opponents he has a terrible tendency to go headhunting after hurting his opponent.
This may be a good fit, Diaz will have something t prove with the departure of Desert Storm and with him having faced tim at one point will know him fairly intimately and from there be able to improve his deficiencies. Maybe Atlas and Diaz can have a go at each other too, Tim and ruslan II would be the co feature in that event.
I suspect that Timmy will be wise in this fight and stick to the boxing, keeping the s****ping to a minimum. I was surprised as to how much bigger Rios is than timmy, and he weighs in quite heavy on fight night the last thing he will want is al that weight leanin on him, there is also the possibility that he gets clipped by rios as Tim is a little shopworn imo due to all his wars.
I hope rios knocks him out, and he fights provodnikov. Lucas/Provo was fun but Lucas was fighting on the backfoot and boxing, rios/provo would be all out war.
Over the last few years ive been pretty negative about the Welter diviion with some of the big names leaving, but as it turns out their are plenty of top fighters to fill the gap and even more good matches. Rios may just knock him the **** out, we have seen |Tim ecked heavy a fe times now so he needs to stop dancing with the devil nd get on hisn dancing shoes. Would really like to see rios and ruslan go at it, there would defintely be a rubber match and a few disputed decisions but also total carnage and disregard for any skills. I would take rios over ruslan :deal
hope it helps, but let's not **** all over Diaz as a trainer when nothing changes sometimes that's the fighters fault.
