    OK, P vs. P!!!

    Round 1

    Popoca throws a lot of quick double jabs and 1-2s straight through, having a lot of these shots slapped aside by RP. Good counters landing by RP, who's being very economical. Hard left hooks and rights up the pipe by RP. Popoca is much busier but is getting countered like crazy.

    10-9 Provodnikov

    Popoca throws some nice short punches with both hands. I think McGirt is a subpar trainer.

    I don't know who's advising RP but McGirt is a horrible move for him. McGirt always makes his fighters too defensive. An attacking jab would help him; the average McGirt strategy of making everyone a mover would be disastrous.

    Round 2

    Provodnikov is firing his jab right down the middle and taking quick double and triple steps to his left. Provodnikov is firing his right hand straight down the middle as Popoca opens up with his busy 1-2 . Popoca isn't very accurate with his head shots but does get a few in to the body.

    19-19

    I'm pretty sure Ruslan lost the second round.

    Provodnik seems to be really fast and powerful, but the other guy doesnt seem to even blink from those punches.....either they are not landing cleanly or Provodnik is just slapping with this punches

    Agree mcGirt never gets the most of his fighters just because of that.

    Round 3

    Popoca is hopping around on the outside, trying to land jabs on the lateral move but getting hit with the right hand frequently. Provodnikov is ducking the 1-2 and timing Popoca with his right hand well. Provodnikov parries the Popoca jab with his own and is using the right hand lead as a primary weapon.

    29-28 Provodnikov

    Here's what McGirt has done for Provodnikov: taught him to throw his hands half as much. Don't like it at all.
