Official Matthysse vs Provodnikov Fight Thread

[dan_cov]

Damn y'all Lucas fans gonna be on suicide watch if he gets ko'd.

I just see Matthysse falling into a war he doesn't have the footspeed and agility of Bradley and Algieri, his power is good but overrated he couldn't KO Judah ffs.

Ruslan couldn't even stop or drop a 90yr old Corley and so on.
They was both inexperienced at the time. Experience managed to find a way to survive.

It shouldn't be a shock Corley or Judah survived, they're both vets and good at spoiling.

Fans buy too much into one fight/one punch at times and ignore everything else.

His power is overrated, Christ.
He has stopped/dropped every opponent he has ever fought but one who still to this day hasn't been close to going down.

Stopped the granite chinned Soto
Walked through Peterson like was he was nothing. He didn't even have his feet set!
Stopped the granite chinned Ajose Olusegun, only fighter to drop him.
Stopped tough as old boots Molina.
To this day the only fighter to drop Alexander
Knocked Mike Dallas Jr out in 1 with a damn pullcounter
Dropped durable Corley 8 times and stopped him

Overrated power? C'mon maaayn.
This guy might be p4p the hardest puncher in the entire sport.
Knock his skills, whatever but Lucas has severe power.
I personally haven't ever seen a fighter that small produce such devastating power. Make no mistake about it Lucas Matthysse can hit like a son of a b*tch.

lucas got some skills too.

whoa relax.

it's just a pick. didn't hate on matthyse. it's a 50/50 fight to me.

lucas is better i just think ruslan has the better chin and power.

don't take your anger out on me, you were home on a friday night.

Anger? Home on friday night?

[dan_cov]

lucas got some skills too.

I think he is very underrated all around these days. I'm in the minority but I think the hype he had pre Garcia was deserved and justified.
I often feel fans go so overboard when a fighter losses. Lucas is still a beast! And Ruslan who IMO does lack skill/the ability to set up his powershots is a beast too regardless of tonights outcome.

May the best man win.

everyone losses.

fans care so much about L nowadays. that's why promoters are so cautious with matchups.

lucas can make it easier on himself tonight by boxing tbh.

but i'm hoping he doesn't box.

It doesn't matter who has more power. They both have enough power to hurt and knock out each other.
