    Fact is, he only has ONE absolute loss, and that was against the hard hitting Lucas Matthysse. He got robbed vs Herrera, he lost a controversial decision to Algerie, he had a competitive fight with Bradley which could have been a DRAW, so really Provo is still a top contender in his division, people are writing him off as a bum. If Lucas did not have a chin made of iron and heavy hands, he would have made Lucas seem horrible as well. You should watch out for Provo, as he can crash anybody's party and disrupt the hype jobs in his division :deal

    Molina is getting knocked the Fock out :good

    I think it has been discussed prior, Provo has a chin made from the best Titanium forged in the mountainous regions of Siberia of the old USSR. He can take anything.

    That guy is a juggernaut basically, his facial features have a curved shape, the force of the punches landed on his face distribute around his face, thus reducing the impact and damage. It is similar to how an anti-tank shell can bounce off a tank. Science :deal

    BTW, I think that he would be a much better fighter in 15 rounds fights, where heart, chin and stamina are much more important. I'm 100% sure he wouldn't have lost some of those fights fighting 15 rounds instead of 12.

    Bradley beat him, it wasn't a draw. Not even close to a draw.
