Comments Thread For: Provodnikov Eyes Pacquiao To Continue Career Success

[turnedup]

Well since Marquez has a hard on for Bradley and won't fight Provodnikov even in Mexico and Bradley isn't going to fight Provodnikov again what option does he have? I don't like the fight, but maybe this is a ploy to get Bradley to take less money for a rematch with Pacquiao.

how much better do you see the bradley fight selling? wouldn't you be interested in the fight and watch it? isn't that all that really matters. boxing fans including myself have been guilty of this. we worry too much about how many people watch/how it "Sells". let's just watch the fights we want to watch and enjoy them. i find that you get nowhere worrying how a fight/fighter sells, they will be fine. people know what they are doing these are professionals.

Yeah true that. Good post.

This will be like Pac v Rios 2. I love Provodnikov, and he seems more likely to try to throw with Pacquiao giving him more of a puncher's chance, but I just see him coming forward, having to turn and reset, and getting ripped on angles all night.

Interesting match up but I think ruslan is gonna hurt pacman he is better than rios . He is a much stronger and faster fighter he is a pressure and can cut off the ring well. Pac man might get battered if this fight happens. I would love to see a rematch with bradley and pac man but with the way bradley out boxed marquez I think he would beat pac man easy . Pac man doesnt have it anymore . People give him props for beating up rios who lacks skill . Rios is just a flat footed power puncher he has no skills at all of course that was easy for pac man. Ruslan is a different fighter he will take pac out easy.

Dumb post. Bradley fought Pacquiao the same exact way he fought Marquez.

Pacquiao got props in the Rios fight for his performance, which unless you were blind was a spectacular one. Sure he's not the same as he was in his prime, but who nobody is at this stage. That doesnt change the fact he's still one of the top 5 best fighters in the world.

Provo should do a lot better than Rios (that's not exactly saying much though lol), but Ruslan is there to be hit. And all night long. Only way imaginable for Ruslan is to hurt Manny, and hurt him bad. And Manny's going to be extra careful and will just try to box him like he did Rios, and barring a Provo bomb that nearly decapitates MP -- Manny will absolutely sail on points.

I could definitely envision some dramatic moments and exchanges, though. There could be some terrific fireworks if Manny gets hurt and decides to exchange. Who knows since both of them are boys maybe they'll agree to just go all out and put on a fight of the year type show for the fans. If Manny is just there to win and be careful though it will likely be a replay of the Rios fight.

Will take Pac out easy? Either you have an agenda or you're full ******. Moms needs to take your Acer away for a few hours so you can get your head straight.

You bring up an interesting point. Thing is, Provo never leaves his balls at home. He comes from a little tribe of monsters, the guy is the real deal.

Rios was talking the other day about how he regrets going in with a different gameplan and should've fought like he always does EVEN THOUGH he probably would have been KOd... which I liked to hear because he was one of my favorite fighters before the Pac fight.

I didn't know about that. I am a Rios fan as well and thought he would make it a war.

agreed. Good post. Fans should just enjoy the fights period and not worry about all of that.

Wow...if this is true, I'd buy the PPV. I have a hunch this fight would be more competitive than people think.

[-Makunouchi-]

People were saying PAC would get KO's by prov and would duck him. Now they are saying it's another rios fight lol

I also had seen posts like that on NSB in several occasions.
Lol at this fanboys, now that there is huge possibility for the fight to be made, they call it another rios fight. *******s are now plague in NSB these days.

If Pac-Provo happens everyone is guaranteed for explosions in the ring.

Sad thing is, Money makes everything possible. Good thing if these happens and Ruslan be awarded with a hefty payday that he wont earn even fighting 5x.
