what do you guys think about this guy, Ruslan Provodnikov??? (VID)

Provodnikov is a tough lil sob with good, explosive power, but kinda limited. Hits hard, can catch and drop Timmy or anyone for that matter, but can get outclassed or outworked. I ain't complaining about this one, Ruslan might actually be better than alot of people think, but not sure about being an A level fighter yet. Would love to see him against Judah, Garcia, Alvarado, Rios, Peterson, Holt, or Matthyesse. He can fight.

 

Provodnikov's fight with Herrera was a close, either-way affair, imo. But I think that was a case of Ruslan falling in love with his power and allowing himself to be out-hustled by a tough, determined, iron-chinned guy for long stretches, even if he was landing harder and doing more damage (Herrera's face was a mess after a few clean shots). He's become a bit better at forcing the pace since then.

Bradley still resides on a higher skill level, though...and should be able to maneuver his way to a clear decision.

 

Bradley likes to trade punches....I wouldn´t call him a real boxer tbh....
This is a hard fight.

 

Provodnikov was on the wrong end of a bad decision against Herrera (and his face was already pretty marked up from sparring going into the fight), but he got a gift against Chop Chop.

 

Ruslan is a ****ing machine. He will not stop coming forward and will hurt Bradley if he underestimates him.

 

will be a hard fight people cant see talent here.
