    I hear about his chin being better than just about anyone's but I'd like to have seen it against a true heavy hitter but I can't think of one. Bradley, Herrera, Alvarado, Algieri? None of those are heavy handed in my book. So do we know if his chin is truly iron. I have my doubts.

    His chin is untested. I wouldn't be surprised if Lucas knocked him out.

    ruslan will be the only fighter other than molina who will go full out and slug

    going full out is not the same as fighting smart and boxing like judah,alexandra,and garcia did all of them NEVER went full out slugging they would of got knocked out if they did

    Garcia hit's harder than Provodnikov. When has Ruslan ever finished a fight with 1 punch? He couldn't stop a shot to **** chop chop Corley.

    It's a good point that only recently occurred to me. The hardest hitter he's faced is Alvarado, and that's not exactly a monstrous hitter.

    We shall see tonight. I'm starting to lean toward a stoppage for Matthysse. Bradley was piling the pain on Ruslan. If Matthysse lands a quarter that many, there's no way he survives it.
