Jauregui is offering little more than a rough sparring session...the mind is willing but the flesh incapable of much more than that. Still, it's clear Provodnikov could batter down a lot of light welterweights near the top level. For instance, how long would a Junior Witter last?
good stoppage Provodnikov seems to be mostly a pressure - type fighter, but he showed some good counters too when he had the opportunity
Good stoppage. Whatever lucky shot chance Jauregui had left, it wasn't worth that punishment. He was getting his nose crunched flat from different angles multiple times per second.
Round 1 Harris explodes out of his corner with a two-fisted attack, then ducking under Kim's counters. Kim looks cold. Harris settles into a pattern of jabbing and then swinging into a turtled-up pendulum. Kim has yet to land a major punch. Kim misses a few punches and then takes a step back to reexamine his approach, and takes a strafing Harris hook to the chin. Kim bouncing on his toes, his legs too close together, throwing right hands without full balance. Harris 10-9
Provodnikov is a beast , he has a lot of work ahead of him but he could get good if they don't push him over his head too early .
Round 2 Kim begins to conduct an offensive to Harris' body. Harris tries to pick him off with jabs and lead lefts. Harris looks a little faster, and a better mover. He doesn't evade or block too much of the body work of Kim, though, preferring to stand his ground and counter from a high guard. Closer, but another Harris round. 20-18
Round 2 I tune in and Teddy Atlas is already in hyperbole mode. Kim with a swift body shot and Harris ROCKS him with a hook upstairs. Kim throwss some swift body punches but Harris just BOMBS upstairs. Both fighters letting das leather fly as Harris is landing up to the top easily. Kim gets ROCKED with a counter but recovers after Harris doesn't go after him. Jim on the ropes and Harris is peppering away. Kim just missed a swift hook as he gets off the ropes. Kim measuring Harris as he comes forward with wilder punches. Harris is now jabbing as the 10 second mark hits. Round ends with Kim coming forward. 10-9 Harris I missed the 1st round so we'll go 10-10 out of fairness. 20-19 Harris
Harris is showing some good skills, but kim has walked right through what harris has hit him with. interesting to see if the kim can wear the american down
We missed the first 10 seconds of round 3 after the crack ESPN team is feeding us replays on a single shot. Kim coming forward but throwing punches with his feet off the ground. Harris with his head on Kim's chest and is throwing some inside uppercuts that haven't landed just yet. Kim lands a nice four punch combo but Harris weathers it well. Harris tying up and trying to infight, Kim trying to land baby hooks. Jim has some good body work but he's throwing a lot of wild punches. Nice jab by Harris and then a good hook to the body. Kim and Harris trade uppercuts and Kim's punches are landing crisper. I nearly lose my mind as some obnoxious Kim fan lets out a "YEEAAAAAAAAAAAH!" after he lands a jab. Funny ****. Atlas already on his "running a marathon" spiel. I like Teddy better when he's making Saul look like a *****. Harris popping that jab now and Kim is trying to fight from a distance. Kim eating a jab like it was skittles. Kim throwing punches from left field as Harris covers up. Close round but I'm giving this one to Harris. 2-0-1 Harris 30-28
