wow. This fight is not gonna be good for Rios... He should take a few chill fights. In a span of 400 days or so he fought Alvardo 2x, and Pacman once. Took a decent amount of punishment in those too. Probably did a lot of sparring rounds for the preparation as well... That's ALOT of punishment to take over the course of a year. Provod will only add to it...
Provodnikov already said before the Pacquiao-Rios fight that he's willing to fight both the winner or loser.
This is gonna be a fireworks. Both can punch and take a good one. Blood thirsty fight fans will enjoy this but unhealthy fight for both men. I lean on towards Provo because he is more fresh of these two even being older. This will be another senseless war. I will watch it thou.:yep
I guess it is a sure bet that Rios will be able to do a much better Parkinson impersonation after the fight, if it gets made that is
Ignore any of the dream match ups you had for either fighter, they will both be bringing a war to the ring, 0% disappointment chance.
That's one thing you gotta love about Rios, he will fight anybody! Tough SOB, but this fight might end his career. With his style, he wasn't going to be around that long anyway. Enjoy him while you can!
Man I hope Rios stays away from this fight. Provo is a beast & does excellent against brawlers like rios. Would be 3 straight losses for Rios.
Its funny that Rios was making fun of Roach's condition some time ago, whereas he'll end up with a worse case of Parkinson's before he's 35
