Comments Thread For: Provodnikov vs. DeMarco in Play For June Showdown?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to sources in Mexico, former WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco is being mentioned as a potential opponent for WBO junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov. The Siberian champion's return is being targeted for June 14th on HBO. Provodnikov (23-2, 16KOs) had hoped to fight Brandon Rios, but there are issues with the weight as Rios is unable to get to 140-pounds. DeMarco (30-3-1, 23 KOs), now competing at 140-pounds, is looking to secure a major title shot.

Easy work for ruslan

[Hougigo]

Is this what Arum is using his option on?

[The Problem Child]

Poor Demarco... Give him at least a chance to grow into the weight some more. Ruslan will destroy him, literally.

[Southpawology]

Rios said HIMSELF he will make 140 to fight ruslan. Why isnt this happening??

DeMarco is goin to get manslaughtered within 4 rounds.

Ultimate mismatch.

He'd better refuse that shit to prevent his mom's mental breakdown.

[any craic lad?]
