Official Matthysse vs Provodnikov Fight Thread

go to 00:46 and 01:05

I asked when did you see Bradley badly hurt.

Bradley came up from that knockdown and won the rest of the ****ing round lol.

He was fighting like he knocked holt down. He was out on his feet against Provodnikov.

I've never seen what fighters put themselves through to make weight, looks like absolute hell. He still looks like a little gaunt at 140, but nowhere near as bad as 135.

did you see him going down? he was hurt

btw he did the same to provo too, he withstood the early onslaught and outboxed provo at will. have you seen that fight more that once?

It's simple man. Holt caught bradley. He didn't hurt him.

Provodnikov hurt and punished Bradley. If you have eyes, you can tell the difference. I don't have to explain it to someone who isn't blind.

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.

Skip to 2:25

The first couple rounds are going to have me on edge. Provo's face was already beginning to swell at the end of the first. Either he stops Matts quick or his face will be falling off by round 6 (assuming Matts isn't shy to mix it up). Provo is just a bit too easy to hit, even on the inside where he likes to be. I think the way Matts absorbs punishment will be important, maybe his eye will start to swell again and fighting with one eye is never healthy against a puncher. The first 3 rounds will be very telling.

you don't think holt hurt him? ruslan caught bradley too and he didn't drop him like a sack of potatoes like holt did. yes ruslan punished bradley, for 4 rounds, no more.

When you hurt someone, they don't come back fighting harder than they did before you hurt them lol. That means they weren't hurt.

When provodnikov hurt bradley, he didn't fight harder, he fought differently. He used his boxing ability to control and set provodnikov up.

he beat the crap out of provo the only thing is bradley doesn't punch like provo. ok dude, holt didn't hurt bradley, it was a slip

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 think you're underselling Provo's power a little bit.

He is very powerful, but he has slow feet which means, as you point out, it's hard for him to get into position to land the shots he needs against movers.

I'm not sure Matthysse is such a great mover.

If you're going to come at me with weak logic, then i'm just gonna copy and paste.
