    Round 4

    Provodnikov is doubling his jab, staying anchored to the middle of the ring. Provodnikov drops a good left hook to the body. Popoca is exhaling hard with every flurry he throws stepping around Provodnikov. Popoca is throwing wide arm punches as he circles to his right, with Provodnikov landing good counters to the body. Provodnikov is warned for low blows. Popoca see-saws his way around Provodnikov and doesn't land any of his wide power punches but does get a few jabs into the Russian's face.

    39-37 RP

    Round 5

    Provodnikov is using some more footwork now, popping his jab and mixing in a left uppercut (that isn't as effective as the jab). Popoca keeps circling and jabbing and is landing better so far but BIG RIGHT HAND by Provodnikov. Now a pair of left hooks!!!! Popoca is up against the ropes getting NAILED!!!!!!! Provodnikov is laying huge power on him. Popoca is standing up to it, and throwing lots of quick uppercuts back at him. Provodnikov is just slamming him with hard punches, though.

    10-9 Provodnikov, stole it late.

    49-46. Popoca's only shot is to be right inside of Provodnikov - Popoca is losing in every way standing in front of him

    Why didn't they show the side view? One minute of great action looking at the back of Popoca's head!!

    Round 6

    Popoca is just outworking him, throwing groupings of jabs and straight lead shots. Provodnikov seems to be taking the round off, switching southpaw a bit to cheat his body and face away from Popoca. Big workrate edge to Popoca, but his punches don't seem to phase Provodnikov at all. Good uppercut, all the same. Popoca drops a nice right to the body. Popoca keeps pressing him and wins the round.

    58-56 Provodnikov

    58-56 McGirt Defensive strategy let Popoca off the hook and let him steal the round.
    Russian looks slightly winded
