    That he does.

    Hate his persona, like watching his career because he's willing to get in there tough ... not "omg he called the other guy out" ****, but actually taking the fights.

    I can see why Big Al may in fact tire of a loudmouth who doesnt fit the sanitized corporate-friendly PBC image, if he cant even win his fights.

    Sink or swim time if he does get matched with Ruslan.

    Why did he "allow" himself to be hit by Porter? His defence is porous, he doesn't have good foot movement and I can't see him switching his style of defence at this point. He needs to be completely humbled and change trainers for that to happen and, despite his defeats, I don't think the penny has dropped yet.

    Provo isn't particularly quick, or that adept at cutting the ring off but against a guy like Broner that shouldn't matter too much.

    Provo should work with Memo and Ariza for this fight.

    Scene that Provo's promoter has said there's been no contact with Broner's team and the fight isn't on the agenda at the moment. Shame.

    I'll hope for Matthysse v Broner instead.

    When Broner was saying he wanted a rematch with Maidana i thought he had improved and see what he had done wrong in that fight but after when i saw him fighting Porter all he did was trying to do what Brook did to Porter but failed.
    If he is going to do what Matthysse did to Provodnikov i dont see him being able to absorb all that damage or the reached and movement that Algieri had in his fight .

    If Broner is at his best I don't necessarily count him out in this, to be honest. Dangerous, yes. Unwinnable? Not really.... I think Broner could put in a decent performance here.

    Awesome matchup. Props to Broner if he takes it.

    Yeah, I just read this. It seems like Fat Dan isn't as credible as he once was.

    Broner's only defense is clinching, he waits too long to turn of the pressure like in the Malignaggi fight which I totally disagree the decision, I had Malignaggi up by the 9th round and there was no way Broner could come back. Provodnikov will give Broner his first Tko if not then Broner wins by UD.

    Damn. Talk about dusting yourself off and getting back on that horse. AB either has extreme self belief or he's a fool blinded by his own ego.

    If you can move and box you can beat Ruslan fairly easily. If you have concrete shoes and stand right in front of your opponent, Ruslan will bring the wrath of hell at you.

    Broner has slow feet, and stands in front of his opponent. Ruslan will caveman him and knock him out.
