    I don't think it was as good as it looked on paper.

    For me it was... slept trough the whole thing :twisted:

    But having seen the Fonfara TKO on replay eased my pain a little

    by the time Provo figured out how to fight smarter it was too late. and he got unlucky with hard shots just missing Matthysse's chin.

    was it let down from guaranteed FOTY = yes
    was it still a very solid fight = absolutely.

    Here's my quote from the vCash thread and I was almost right on the money.

    Solid fight. Maybe top ten fight of the year. It wasn't Gatti Ward by a long shot but there was nothingness to be disappointed about.

    I thought it was great. I was worried seeing Provo cut so badly so early on, never would have thought it would have turned out the way it did after those first two rounds.

    Only in that what I feared might happen did happen. Both of them knocked lumps out of each other and the loser will probably never be the same again. Even Lucas who has fought four punchers in succession and taken a ton of punishment in three of those fights will likely have paid a heavy price.

    It wasn't a classic but it was still a really good and enjoyable fight.

    It was boring as hell. Hopkins tried jis best not to laugh in Rusing's face.

    Buddy, you said Lucas would punch Provo's head clean off... You got to stop flip flopping so much lol, we can all look right if we keep making 5 different predictions

    Personally I really enjoyed the fight, both men showed great heart, great chin, and great power. Two ironed chinned warriors, and both put up a good fight

    yes, it was a let down. if provo knew anything about a jab it would have been so much better. provo seems alergic to the jab
