    Everyone and thier mother was picking Mathysse to KO garcia fairly easily, (myself included) however he ended up losing. Now, it seems that most are picking ruslan to win this fight against Alvarado. Who do you think will win against him and Alvarado? I think its very close. I do pick Ruslan but wouldnt be surpised at all to see Alvarado win. Im not sure about Ruslan's chin, he seemed hurt and was kinda busted up by Bradley who has a low KO percentage. Mike hits far harder then Bradley. Still lean towards Ruslan though. Thoughts?

    I still favor Alvarado. We'll see what happens though!

    I would love to see a Provodnikov v Matthyse fight.

    I think Provodnikov's chin is good, but to take a page out of Derrick's book, he has a tendancy to cut and defending punches with his face doesn't help.

    I pick Alvarado to win, he's the more versatile boxer and if he boxes like he did in the 2nd Rios fight, he should win.
