    Provodnikov might be my current favorite fighter. He has so much hearty and shows so much emotion in the ring. It's it his all and all of his fights are exciting.

    He is going to destroy John Molina jr.

    No one is picking Molina to beat Ruslan. If you're picking Molina to beat Ruslan pm me, lets bet real money, I'm offering anyone 2:1 odds.

    And I agree that he used to be highly overrated but it seemed to have calmed down. Molina however still has a puncher's chance, so Provo better not leave his chin out there for too long.

    Molina!!!!:deal































    Just ****ing with you.! Molina will get his licks in, but I believe Provos pressure and beast mentality will be too much for John to overcome. Unless, Molina somehow gets that perfect shot in, this is boxing and anything can happen.

    I think Ruslan's chin is just too good. Molina has crazy power, but it's probably similar to Lucas and Ruslan took A LOT of flush shots. Molian should have stuck with Goosen tbh, I see his career practically over at this point.

    Well I think Provo is rated just fine. He always manages to lose biggest and the most important fights BUT he very rarely gets schooled or embarrassed too badly. He always gives hard fight for everyone.

    Im huge fan of Provodnikov. One of the most cleanest and the most entertaining fighters in the sport. I was fan of Wladimir Klitschko too and watching Provodnikov after Wlad fight was very, very refreshing.:lol:

    IMO for every real fight fan Provodnikov is a gift. Ruslan Presents everything what this fight is all about! He fights like man possessed!:deal:thumbsup

    I dont know, there are many guys in the sport like Rusland but something about his story strikes me. He came loooong way where he is now. Happy for him.

    Eh he is rated about right. Always in fun fights and his fight vs Bradley was exciting as ****.

    Who beat Prov most convincingly out of Bradley, Matthysse and Algeiri? All 3 deserved the nod but Algieri beat him most clearly imo.

    Provo looks better under Diaz, looking forward to this.

    Provodnikov is always in entertaining fights because he is a low skill level brawler with good power and a phenomenal chin.

    I've been genuinely going back and forth on that one, I just have that feeling that Provo's previous wars might finally catch up to him Saturday and he'll walk into something really big.
