Official Matthysse vs Provodnikov Fight Thread

[NEETzsche]

the thing is Provodnikov usually ends up looking like quasimodo even against feather fisted punchers...

yeah but he doesn't let it discourage him, unlike matthysse. provodnikov can be frustrated by mobility, but since i don't think he'll have to worry about that in this fight i give him the mental edge here.

Two warriors. I don't even care who wins, but rooting for matthysse.

That's kind of a rush to judgement. It surely affected him the middle rds but minus the bogus kd.he arguable won rds 10-12.

Its almost here gentlemen...WARRRR

Good video to watch with sound off, I didn't realise how many solid flush punches Alexander took from Matthysse, good chin.

Ajose Olusegun might have one of the best chins I've ever seen. How the hell he didn't go down before he did is beyond me. He took a disgusting amount of punishment. He wasn't even taking anything off those shots.

Way too tough for his own good.

lol jeez....

Matthysse doesn't have the jab and movement to stifle Provo's offense like Algieri did. So I see this fight being decided by each guy's chin.

I've been more impressed with Ruslan's ability to take a punch, so I say Provo wins a bloody war, with the ref stopping it late, rds 9-11.

Matthysse has better skills imo. I think he will keep Provodnikov at the end of his punches and **** him up. Either guy can win though. It might just come down to who has the better chin.
