Official Matthysse vs Provodnikov Fight Thread

[DARKSEID]

When has Provodnikov ever shown anything like supernatural power? Please. People who have fought both all agree Matthysse hits harder.

Ok. The beautiful about boxing is when the fight happens it proves who knows what they're talking about.

I got this page bookmarked lol

funfact:

Matthysse has never lost against anyone who hasn't clinched the crap out of him on the inside. Off the top of my head molina is the only one who has troubled him, and he was broken down and brutally stopped.

Matthysse is a beast in close quarters.

think a guy named garcia troubled him

If Matthyse has more power than Provodnikov, who hits like a freight train, that should mean he'll knock provodnikov out easy right? Or at the very least win a decision, Since he's so easy to hit.

We'll see how well that works out lol

Provodnikov winning doesn't automatically mean he hits harder. More likely it means his chin is better than Matthysse's.

Seriously, when has Provodnikov shown this power you're claiming?

Bradley said Matthysse hits harder.
I honestly can't predict who will win this fight though so I'll just wait and see in a few hours..

Tim has been badly hurt many times. Kendall Holt lifted him 6ft off his feet, Manny had him in bad trouble.

That fight has blinded people. Ruslan has power for sure but he certainly isn't a one punch knockout artist and needs opponents to remain static which was almost Bradleys undoing. It was more Bradleys idiocy overlooking him and going for a knockout than anything else.

He hits absolutely noway near as hard as Matthysse. I'd go as far as saying Matthysse is the hardest hitting 140lb fighter ever.

Ruslan couldn't even put a dent in an old ass Corley. How many legit K.Os does Ruslan even have? 2? He is a strong puncher but that fight with Bradley has flattered him. If bradley fought Lucas like he did Ruslan he'd of left that ring in a bodybag.

I don't know about that, Malignaggi knows what he is talking about more than most and he gets his predictions wrong all the time. It's sport, in a 50-50 match-up it's difficult to predict what happens.

[Weebler I]

On Provo, if he comes out like he did against Alvarado, Matthysse is going to be in for a very tough first couple of rounds.
