    Ruslan by late middle rounds stoppage. They will hit eachother. Maybe lucas has slightly better 1 punch power but lightweight molina rocked matthyse numerous times. Provodnikov is better and hits a lot harder than molina. Don't get me wrong molina hits hard but he's not a Jww. Ruslan has great power for a full welter. I don't think Lucas's chin can hold up. I don't get people talking about how Lucas is better boxer...yea he is but how will that serve him in this fight? He's a come forward puncher first. If ruslan puts him on the back foot it's over for matthyse. He's out of his game. Is he a better boxer? Sure but he's not Algieri or bradley or Herrera. Those guys were better boxers then lucas n they all got a trip to the hospital. I consider all those fights robberies by the way. On another note...ruslan cuts n swells in a slight breeze so...there's that to think about. Still, I take ruslan in a horrifically violent slug fest.

    If the Machine will stick to boxing he should pull this off but it will still end badly for both guys:tired:smoke

    If Matthysse boxes he'll win but I don't think he can stay disciplined the whole time.

    He'll get pulled into a war and get stopped

    This is a fight with 2 machines going at it in the center of the ring. To me lucas is the better technical fighter but has been down plenty in fights, and the russian machine is a relentless destroyer everytime he gets in the ring. I think it will come down to who will be willing to walk through the punishment and keep going foward.. to me provo looks like that guy, but its going to be a hell of a fight. I got provo.

    I don't think Provo can do anything better than Matthysse he was getting hurt by Bradley at times I remember.
