    I'd be lying if I said I know a lot about Provodnikov. Is Roach right here or is it mind games?

    Ive seen lots of Provdnikovs fight on ESPN, i think he is a very good fighter. He doesnt have one shot power but can break a guy over the course of a fight which is what he usually does

    his lone loss to Herrera was really close, i think Atlas scored for Provo as did i, he is a live dog here, its his first fight at the weight i believe but Bradleys not a big Welter

    This is a massive step up in comp, i dont think he will win but i think he can take 4 or 5 rounds and make this a fun fight

    hard to take roach seriously since he talks so much shite. provodnikov is bigger than pac, so, maybe. but, ko timmy, doubtful

    Mind games you have to make up for the difference in speed and boxing ability.

    Watched that fight this morning, I thought Ruslan won but dont see any problems with the decision either.

    Ruslan can crack no doubt, look at the damage he has done here.. but he is slow and drops his hands doesnt know any other way to fight. Timmy will be able or should be able to box his ears off, and on the inside advantage Tim, who is shorter and better suited to sit in the pocket and work.

    I see a good fight early but Timmys over all work rate will slow down Ruslan mid way through stopping Ruslan in the 8th or 9th....

    Yes I said Timmy by stoppage probably on cuts but not from a clash of heads either...

    Thanks :good

    I'll scout out some of his fights on youtube, starting with that one above, thanks Bball.

    I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that he fights like the Mexican-Russian Gradovich, that dude was fun to watch vs Dib.

    I think Provodnikov can show a close fight against Bradley. But Bradley will be much faster than him and can fight Ruslan at long range... only chance Provodnikov has is to knock Bradley out... but he has the power for it.

    When your a short ****er like Tim and you wear a size 13 shoe yes they do exist especially when your opponent has a bad habit of stepping on feet
