Espinoza "All that is missing is khan confirmation to fight Provodnikov"

should be an easy fight for khan, provodnikov is slow and way too easy to hit. He has a phenomenal left hook though which gives him a chance against khan. He'l have trouble even getting close though

 

Hopefully Khan signs the fight. His opposition of late has been cherry picked for their lack of power, you can't deny that Provo can hit and he has a chin to go the distance.

While Provo can clearly be and will be outboxed by Khan he at least as a style and power to test Khan if he lands. I can't criticise Khan for this opponent despite Provo losing to Matthyse recently. This is a risky fight even if the risk is calculated.

 

He's overrated but still a solid opponent, especially considering he has good power and Khans bogey style. Anyway you slice it, it's a hundred times better than fighting Andre Berto

 

all it takes is one punch and khan in trouble......

 

Provo really needs to work on cutting off the ring cause Khan will be moving and holding like crazy. But it will only take one shot from Provo to really hurt Khan.

 

Ruslan has been thrown to the dogs. He could have been a decent brawler but he has looked spent to me in his last couple of fights.

 

Not a bad fight. Khan should be the clear favorite but Provodnikov could definitely score a stoppage here. I think Khan wins this by decision with a few scary moments for him.

There's a number of fights I'd rather see for each guy instead of facing each other but its still a good enough fight and one that Showtime could really use since boxing has been almost non-existent this year.

 

I can see it panning out much the same as the Maidana fight.

 

Is Matthyse not elite?
Is Bradley not elite?
