Another big fight for Ruslan Provodnikov?Agree or not?
Do you think Ruslan deserves to have another Big fight . After a loss w/ Matthyse Algieri and Bradley .I think hes Just an average fighter giving big fighters a few Hard time rounds then he will loss . I think many fighters deserves big fights. Not him :) He's just an overrated fighter .

He can put on a good showing against the best of them.
He probably won't ever win the big one. But I have no problem with him in against any one.

Re: Another big fight for Ruslan Provodnikov?Agree or not?
He beat Alvarado and fought on close terms with Bradley and Algieri. It's perfectly reasonable for him to land more big fights, but probably not against someone like Garcia, Crawford, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Thurman, or Brook. I'd be fine with him battling Lamont Peterson, Brandon Rios, Viktor Postol, Raymundo Beltran, Humberto Soto, Jessie Vargas, Khabib Allakhverdiev, Amir Khan, Diego Chaves, or Devon Alexander. It would probably be fine to match him up with Maidana or Porter as well, but I think it's a little too much risk given Provodnikov's current momentum and how little he can afford another loss in his next fight.
Re: Another big fight for Ruslan Provodnikov?Agree or not?
If The Provoglodyte does not retire, he should fight a few lesser level fights to get his confidence back and build his value, then he should take another big fight.
Re: Another big fight for Ruslan Provodnikov?Agree or not?
He's a very tough man and a hell of a competitor but he takes some serious hammer every bout, I don't want him to face a big puncher - I felt guilty watching him v Lucas.

I can agree with this. He does take a ton of punishment.palooka wrote:He's a very tough man and a hell of a competitor but he takes some serious hammer every bout, I don't want him to face a big puncher - I felt guilty watching him v Lucas.

Make the Rios/Provo fight.. Let them beat the hell out of each other few million a piece in 3 epic wars then let them retire.

It would be great to see him vs Pacquiao early next year. All action and entertaining for those that demand that kind of fight.
Re: Another big fight for Ruslan Provodnikov?Agree or not?

Re: Another big fight for Ruslan Provodnikov?Agree or not?
I love watching Ruslan fight.
I think he should retire soon, because no one can take the punishment he does and remain unscathed.
Just once, I'd like to see him get some PPV money as a co-feature.

I'd love to watch him also but he must know that enough is enough . Give him one more chance ? He might suffer brain injury ;(koolkc107 wrote:I love watching Ruslan fight.

His head movement has become non-existent.
You can tell the wars are taking there toll.
I feel guilty watching him now, but I'd love to see the Rios fight.

Re: Another big fight for Ruslan Provodnikov?Agree or not?
He's an exciting fighter. I like seeing this game kid fight . Put him in with that little banger Rios. That would entertain me over a few Old Germen beers
Re: Another big fight for Ruslan Provodnikov?Agree or not?
He moves his head in round 1, then he forgets about everything trainers told him to do and becomes a dumb brawler.PredatorHayds wrote:His head movement has become non-existent.

A few years ago he came forward with a small amount of intelligence and slipped and blocked the odd punch.ikorolev wrote:He moves his head in round 1, then he forgets about everything trainers told him to do and becomes a dumb brawler.PredatorHayds wrote:His head movement has become non-existent.

Now he walks forward and seems happy to block with his face.
Great for fans but must affect his longevity
