Official Matthysse vs Provodnikov Fight Thread

[Mr. Miyagi]

Mattyhsse KO

[John Barron]

Provo is durable and more explosive than Matthysse, he should try to knock Lucas out in early rounds, since fight with Molina proved that Lucas aint a machine (Lucas is one of my favorite fighters, but he was seriously hurt in this fight, thats a fact). If Lucas survives early 6 rounds i see him outboxing or TKO'ing Ruslan in later rounds.

debatable.

provodnikov has faced ONE good puncher, alvarado, who i don't even rate very highly as a puncher. his durability and his chin is still questionable to me. one thing to consider is that he has been gone life and death with non-punchers on numerous occasions.

matthysse has a higher KO%, has one punch knock out power, and can turn up the heat during any of the 12 rounds.

Has Prov ever been knocked down or knocked out in his career? Just curious

Never knocked out or been down. I think Alvarado is the biggest puncher he has been in with at the highest level.

Has he fought anyone capable of that? Alvarado at that point surely wasnt.

You lucas groupies make it impossible to like the guy.

Oh and Prov swells and cuts up easy but his chin is solid.

What have "Lucas groupies" done in this thread to upset you baby?

I didnt say Provo is more durable than Lucas, yall overreacting, haha.

You're just too emotional and feminine, before the Garcia fight you guys (I know u said u saw it as even but u were the exception) were going crazy with the predictions saying Lucas would spark him out in 3.

Yeah, Provo and Lucas fans have to agree:

Provo never been hit by a big puncher, and we cant say if his chin is elite.
Lucas was hit by a puncher and he did a chicken dance, lol

I hope my comment gonna help them to come into consensus.

[wence]

is fredi roach still with provo?

Hey bruh, I call it like I see it. I cant help if that upsets people here. Im a huge machine fan but i like to be realistic even if sometimes my bias shows.

This fight though. I dont see how Provo has a chance. Nor has he really proven what a lot of people are claiming. You simply cant win against a puncher like Matthysse with defense as bad as Provos. Its simple give and take.

Has Lucas' chin declined though? I know the Molina knocked down was overhyped because it was a flash temple near the back of the head punch.

Plus lets be honest, Provo can crack and Matthysse seems to have vulnerability in that eye (been swelled badly before the Garcia fight) then again I think Lucas has elite stamina (much better than Provos) is a bigger puncher and better defence.

One thing for certain this is gonna be a fan friendly fight and someone is getting KO'd
