    I hope if I ever give the fans as much as Provo has, they don't end up making fun of my appearance on the internet. :ohno

    :lol: Valuev looked so damn primitive. Like some prehistoric nephilim type of man.

    They are good friends now, Provodnikov is going to attend Matthysse vs. Kiram to cheer him on.

    that's good at least there will never be a rematch because matthysse probably took everything out of provodinkov because he was a shell against molina

    Hey, just speaking for myself, "fat Chinese lesbian" isn't inherently insulting IMO. Some of my best friends have legitimately been fCL's.

    Prime Gatti could box and had a solid chin. This guy lost to John Molina in his prime. Let that sink in.

    True, but I think prime Gatti was also a good one or two class smaller.

    You make a good point, Gatti was at his best at 130.

    Just like ROCKY this guy never failed to have an exciting fight.
    Look forward to the return but with his style one must wonder how many more miles are left in the tank?
    His fight with Timmy was so FKN epic

    I don't think he will rise again to such heights, but he could have a couple of years in his tank a couple of levels down from there. If he looks more or less his same old self against Bagautinov, victories over Broner and even in a Molina II (since John might actually be the more ruined this point after taking a thrashing from Crawford and then having that brief war against Redkach) seem reasonably within grasp.
