I have Ruslan Provodnikov stopping matthysse late on

If the fight goes over 4 rounds, I got Lucas. Ruslan is a beast , but his stamina is horrible. In the later rounds he becomes extremely predictable and slow.

So either early tko ruslan win

Or late to/KO win for Lucas.

 

LOL @ "soft right hands"

 

Lucas will dominate, and make it look easy.

Prov getting way too much credit for being a punchbag.

Boxer/puncher beats brawler/puncher.

 

Can't believe it's going to have to take a fighter of Matthysse calibre to (finally?) put Provo's hype to rest

Didn't Algieri do it for you guys?

Matthysse will probably stop him...for Provo's sake I HOPE it's quick a KO...otherwise it will be a drawn out brutal TKO or corner/ref stoppage.

 

Molina tho not the best boxer, he's a huge puncher. Anyone getting caught clean by Molina are going down.

 

:good. Gigantic upset if Rus wins. I don't expect him to last 4 rounds.

 

That's exactly why I did not want this fight to happen .

Its a big possibility that both of these fighters could come out of this hellacious war as damaged goods .

 

Exactly How is that a negative ?

Algeiri has never been stopped by anyone at all .

This dude got a solid chin on him .

Hes already proven that to us .

 

Well, I love the fact that Matthysse is putting his belt up like a true champion unlike Garcia and Lamont.

 

Matthysse will adapt and dominate after the 3rd round

 

Matthysse will play into Provodnikov's hands if he tries to go toe-to-toe. We all saw what happened to Bradley when he tried. Matthysse's chin looks cracked to me, and I can't see him withstanding the same shots Bradley took.

Everyone is also forgetting that Provodnikov's chin was tested against Alvarado who himself is a big puncher. It takes a lot to stagger Rios, and Alvarado was able to do so.

I'd say Provodnikov knocks out Matthysse in the mid-rounds.

 

Matthysse has no belt, get real.

He's never been a world champion.

 

Wrong like always

 

Can't see how Provodnikov, who might have a damn good chin .. Can do the usual and block punches (from a puncher like Matthysse) with his face and expect to even last the distance. It's one thing taking punches off Bradley...
