    Ruslan, Rios is getting way hyped over a win over a methed-out Alvarado, though he did look good. Ruslan hits much harder imo, and I think he is more durable too. If Ruslan loses a lopsided match again Lucas I'll reconsider, but I'm picking him to win against Lucas, as well as Rios.

    Provodnikov isn't anything special but compared to Rios of today, he is a beast.

    Provodnikov 117-111 type UD

    Provo is seriously underrated on here after that poor showing against marathon runner Algieri

    Provo should get a new coach and he'll be back on top where he belongs

    I think Provodnikov, but it's a match I'd like to see.

    lucas/prov is just as good, unless Lucas fights like he did against zab the first half and tries to box.

    I have Ruslan taking him out in the later rounds or winning a brutal UD whatever way Lucas fights.

    Provo's chin will be shattered, Lucas hits like a Mack Truck, and the biggest puncher Ruslan has fought was Alvarado, even Corley quasi rocked Ruslan a few times. If he walks headlong into Matthysse's shots it will be a very short night, since y'know Provo blocks punches with his head.

    Matthysse is much more of a complete fighter than either of these two, though may not be a durable.

    Bradley's been in the ring with both Ruslan and lucas and made this statement..



    Bradley: MATTHYSSE is the hardest puncher I've ever fought and I was wearing headgear and 22oz gloves
