    I disagree about their chins. Lucas caught Danny Clean as hell late in that fight. Knocked his damn mouth piece out. And he ate it. Dannys chin is granite

    This is a horrible fight for Provodnikov....

    He takes waaaay too many punches.....both Bradley and Alvarado had him swolt about the face, and Lucas hits at a minimum twice as hard.:-(

    It's true that Garcia took some good shots from Matthysse but Matthysse got hit even more, that's why he lost. Matthysse got hit with left hooks (Danny has a mean left hook) that he couldn't see coming on an already injured eye. They both definitely have good chins.

    I think they punch a bit too hard for it to be a fight like that (like Kirkland and Angulo). I think this fight would be over before the late rounds.

    Ruslan is an entirely different beast to mathysse ruslan pulls out his heart and chews it up before biting his face off

    Very true. But they have good enough chins to make the fight last 12

    Depends on Ruslan's chin. Matthysse in his last fight got outboxed by a guy with an iron chin who took his best punches and countered him.

    Danny is a far better boxer than Ruslan, and so is Matthysse... Matthysse's boxing skills and ring intelligence are grossly underrated just cause he lost to another great boxer (while fighting with 1 eye).

    He was even outboxing Peterson before that fight came to a close

    Beautifully brutal fight...damn, I just really don't know - both guys gonna keep punching and coming forward and both have underated boxing skills.,

    Honestly could go either way for me, although I voted with Ruslan.
