Provodnikov vs brook who wins

Brook isn't a banger - going on last nights showing, he'll get iced by Provodnikov's counters and timed shots.

 

Provodnikov's defence is almost non existant & he marks up really quick, I think Brook would bust him up & Ruslan would get stopped after accumulating too much damage.

There's no way Brook would go toe-to-toe with him like Timmy did & at range Ruslan looks fairly average.

 

Is this the guy who apparently battered Bradley last night? Haven't seen any of him yet.

 

Brook's an idiot though - he'd try that stupid move to where he shifts his head back and he'd smashed.

 

Have you been drinking this morning?

 

Cut him some slack, it's Paddy's day!:hat

 

What? When he does a lay back you mean?

 

I can see Brook getting sparked at some point, his reflexes are not as good as he thinks they are, I doubt however that Provodnikov would be the one to do it.

 

Wont fight him unless he absolutely has to.Hes a beast.

 

Sorry,the question.At the moment,IF Kell wins the title,IF his first defence was against the Russian,which it wouldn't be,Id back Provodnikov.When Kell gets the necessary experience against top 10 men,Id make it 50 50.I think Bradleys experience helped him scrape through last night.

 

Think Brook would put a beating on him if he uses his skills.

 

I loved the fight last night, Loved the heart, The thrills and spills but when all said and done i found myself berating Bradley for fighting a foolish fight in opening round and feeling that Ruslan never once went to the body nor had the cuteness to finish Bradley off.

I don't think Provodnikov is as good as what he was made to look last night. Punches hard yes no doubts but straight lined and one paced with a laborious defence. Brook could win it. Tough fight but no way a mission impossible job.

 

A brilliant post-fight breakdown and thoughts by Hatman here. Give it a watch. Love this bloke's videos.

Brook late stoppage or fairly wide 116-112 type decision. But agree if Kell did what he did against Jones and got in a real tear up it could be a Provodnikov TKO.
