The Machine VS The Russian....who ya got

The machine has a good chance of getti knocked out in this one. When peterson hooked with matthysse it was light punching peterson coming off worse.... If the machine trys that with ruslan, matthysse will go down.

Ruslan will be bloody mess by the end, but matthysse is the one more limely to get ko'd imo.

Having said that, i'm picking matthysse to win by brutal 12 round survival.

 

Provodnikov will also be fighting his fight and digging into the body early as roach said, matthysse hasnt been tested their yet.

Matthysse is the one who wont be fighting his natural fight. So the question is can he box on the back foot and not get caught up in a slugfest which will favour the lesser skilled ruslan? Can matthysse still generate his power punching on the backfoot?

If matthysse can do neither, he will lose.
