Ruslan Provodnikov is Overrated, will be exposed Soon

He gave Herrera a sickening beating and got robbed.

Herrera exposed the 140 lineal champion and lost by a fanny hair.

Provo is no hypejob. Marquez wanted no part of him for a reason. He has that prime Foreman stalking ability. You just can't shake him off.
You need to bring in the best like Bradely to beat him and even he almost got stopped.

 

And then he proceeded to rob an old Corley himself. Clearly the real deal.

 

Why is he hyped? - Because Bradley #3 at WW went full ****** and almost got himself knocked out against him.

Provo is nothing special but he can manage the lower end guys like Rios, Alvarado etc.

I don't think anyone overrates him....a solid fighter with good power but lack of defence.

He is at Peterson level...

 

I agree with this post.

 

Provo would shatter Petterson, Khan and knock Broner into last week.

lol Broner would get annihilated by Provo.

 

Not sure Provodnikov is particularly hyped. I think most of the marketing and talk regarding him, has to do with his big punch and entertaining style. I haven't seen people putting him at the same level as the very elite. More than anything, I've seen him compared to fighters like Gatti, which I think is fair.

 

He's one of the best at his weight and has a style that many fans love to watch.

 

Win or lose he's a tough out for anyone. Even the guys that beat him got their ass kicked in the process, not really getting exposed.

 

how the phuck can anyone conclude that Bradley #3 at WW . the phucking dude has NEVER beaten a ww never mind a top 50 ww

 

wat :rofl

So who would you rank #3 at WW? Maidana? Marquez? (erm who Bradley beat derp)

 

just # 3 ? i have thurman there. done 10x more tha bradley and would utterly annihilate him in a lopsided rapping.

not sure any true ww in the top 10 i would give bradley a chance against.
the dude barely beat provo at jww for xrist sakes

 

Troll right?

I don't like Bradley...but to deny him like that is ridiculous. Thurman? LOL WHO DA F*CK HAS HE BEAT.

 

I agree with the topic creator and believe that he is part of T-RANK's build up of lesser fighters. I think Provod is good. But he is not the level of the elites/champions of that division.

 

naw man that's terrible. Thurman is behind Marquez, Porter, Maidana and Bradley for the welterweight rankings
