Ruslan Provodnikov will pummel Crawford

When has provo pummeled ANYONE other than chinny and a very dumb Bradley

 

deluded. i like provo but come on...

it should be postol fighting crawford and there is no reason why that fight can't happen.

i like provo but he is not going to pummel crawford

 

:think
i think crawford beats provo.

But how could you say that bradley is chinny and without mentioning his great recovery powers, that crawford hasnt shown against as big punchers as provodnikov.

timmy alot more proven than terry

 

ruslan is great at pouring it on when he wants to and he is a tough customer but he can definitely as you say, be outboxed and i think thats exactly what crawford will do.

postol is the man crawford needs to fight for sure

 

Yea Ruslan can be out boxed but it kills me that people say it so nonchalantly...like it's easy. He doesn't have a single loss in which he didn't get to his opponent and do serious damage. He lost by razor thin margins and in my opinion he beat Herrera, he beat algieri, he beat Bradley. Only loss I think he deserved was to Lucas and that was very close on rounds.

 

Crawford had trouble with tiny Gamboa power. He's dealing with an entirely different animal in ruslan. He ain't nearly fast or skilled as Gamboa but he packs a hell of a lot more power and as I've said before...he always gets to his opponents.

 

Provodnikov wears people down through attrition. I doubt he has greater one punch power than Gamboa. Gamboa may be somewhat small but he can crack. Crawford is not going to stand in front of Provodnikov and get beat up.

 

gamboa is faster but no way does he harder than provo, hes also alot smaller

 

You don't think smaller fighters can hit harder than larger fighters?
