Ruslan Provodnikov (23-2, 16KOs) is a hot piece of boxing property after stopping Mike Alvarado in ten rounds to capture the WBO junior welterweight championship at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Denver. After seven explosive rounds of action, Provodnikov began to pull away in eight - after punishing Alvarado (34-2) and scoring two knockdowns in the process. It was the first time Alvarado had tasted the canvas as a pro. After Provodnikov unleashed more punishment in the tenth, Alvarado couldn't answer the bell for the eleventh. [Click Here To Read More]

He didn't have enough left to knock him out and he wasn't winning on the cards. The fight was over.Comment
If the ref asks you do you want to continue and you say no thats quitting, and if its not quitting then what is it called? I think no less of mike hes still a warrior in my eyes BUT HE DID QUIT. If this was ortiz he would be getting torn a new azzhole right nowComment
He been going through it with his last few fights. At least he made it back to the corner. He knew he was out it a rd. 8. Went two more to give it a try, then called a night a night. Nothing wrong with that. Nobody here would say Fraizer was a quitter.Comment
