Provodnikov by KO, Maidana has gots to be one of the most overrated boxers in history. He has horrible defense.
Maidana's vulnerability to body shots is a massive liability. He's been hurt by body punches from JSK, Lopez, Morales, and Khan. Even Corley and Kotelnik forced Maidana to back offs, tuck up, and throw less when they retaliated with punches downstairs. Unlike JSK and Lopez, Provo wouldn't back off and let Maidana regroup. He'd keep rolling ahead.
Ruslan is strong 140 guy and ferocious swarmer Maidana will be stopped late after war. That said We might see Maidana getting stopped by former super featherweight soon.:yep
Maidana would have Stopped Alvarado also... Roach giving Ruslan a bodywork gameplan is Maidana's problem...
they are both Mongoloids by nature Provodnikov by bein on the Asian side of Russia and Chino Maidana by Native american proxy..
maidana is a tough guy but he's very overrated. he's a cut below provo in almost every way. provo rolls right over him. and i don't say that lightly. i think provo lays a career altering beating on maidana.
Provos display last night is what people think Maidana actually is. When in reality he isn't near him.
