Damn.. That would be a war no doubt about it. Neither of them would back down. Maybe Lucas boxes him a little bit here and there, but it would turn out to be a ****ing battle in the end. I think Lucas takes it, I don't know about a stoppage but he does take it. His power and combos would earn him the win.
Awesome fight, prodnikov has a great chin, and I have respect for what he brings to the ring, I think prodnikov continues to improve. A real warrior, would be an interesting fight, Two guys with great chins that like to bang. As good as mathysse is, prodnikov always has a chance in this type of fight with two bangers.
The fans win this fight. It's a can't miss bout. This year's Rios/Alvarado 1. At 140, I take Lucas. At 147, I think it's pretty even.
Ruslan is not officially promoted by Top Rank. He is promoted by Banner Promotions, who sometimes works for Top Rank. I don't think he's off the shelf for anybody. But I doubt Oscar is going to put Matty into a non-GBP fight any time soon either.
Lucas is a 140 fighter... He will probaly go to 147 when his career is coming to an end (after dominating 140) He is 30 years old... I Wreckon he can stay #1 at 140 for the next 3 years... Shame if he has to go to 147 to get beat by someone like Mayweather...
