    so say Rios beats Alvarado, then beats Provodnikov (i dont think he does) he will then probably fight Pac then he gets destroyed he will probably rematch Provodnikov or Alvarado again, Bob Arums basically killing his fighters

    Perfect if he's ready to retire.

    Alvarado may not be the same after the first fight. If he gets koed again he could be finished.

    Provo looked like Hearns or Mugabi against Bradley, so if he can punch as hard as it looks it would be interesting, although his face does not hold up well to punches.

    I think Provodnikov could get the loser especially if its Alvarado. If Rios wins he has bigger oppurtunitites like Pac, JMM, and Bradley. I don't think Rios takes on Provodnikov instead of one of Arum's bigger names.

    Maybe Bradley was looking way past Ruslan. Not many people here on ESB alone thought this was going be a close fight, so maybe that is what Bradley thought too. We have to wait how he does on his next fight. Great fight nonetheless!

    Yes, especially if its Alvarado. If Rios wins, Arum has the option to put him up against Pac, Marquez or Bradley and get more money out of it.

    If you were familiar with Provodnikov and had seen him before, you would know that he finishes almost all of his fights as a bloody mess and must have the worst paper skin in boxing. First thing i thought about when the fight was announced was a win on cuts for Bradley.Sorry about the tone of my post, but i f'in hate your avy.

    I think it would more likely be at 147... Rios will be testing the waters @ 147 because it sounds like he's been in the pacquiao sweepstakes for a while.

    Absolute slugfest. These three fighters will have half their brain cells left by the end of the year. Great for the fans though.
