    You gotta be kidding provo's chin is a mile better than Molina's

    You already look foolish suggesting otherwise. Provo by ko easy enough work for the siberian rocky.

    No he wasn't, next question?

    Matthyse will be in it until he takes too much punishment he may even be ahead on the cards. He's nowhere near as durable as Bradley and easier to hit than the likes of algieri and Herrera. Provo arguably beat all 3 tbf. Could be undefeated if he was as lucky as Garcia.

    Matthysse knocked Corley down 9 times and stopped him.


    Provo knocked Corley down 0 times and couldn't stop him.


    They both fought Corley during the same year in 2011



    Now who hits harder guys ?

    I concur , this is going to be brutal. I like Provo but Lucas is all wrong for him if he's not beaten bloody I'll be shocked as hell.

    I dunno... Lucas might be a bit better in almost every department, but if he decides to brawl, he will be in trouble. Bradley is a big welter with a good chin and he got ragdolled by Prov when he decided to trade punches with him. I see Ruslan KO Lucas in first 4 rounds or Matthysse gonna win by decision or TKO in later rounds.

    That being said I lean more towards Ruslan cuz Matthysse cant box like Herrera or Algieri.

    Agreed, Bradley's chin is granite and Provo had him in trouble.
