Great fight, prodov is a stud, ans so is Bradley. He's underrated imo, the guy knows how to win, and that's a pretty good quality to have
:: Hail Provodnikov, he keeps the home fires burning, plying me with ammunition for many many threads to come.
:: Pouind for Pound my bollix. He looks like Povetkin in there. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/caKbFfguCqo?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Thing is, Provodnikov isn't ranked in the top 15 of any organisation at welterweight (to my knowledge), but Boxrec has him at #12. He will need to work his way towards getting another title shot.
Not after that. Fuck the sanctioning bodies, nobody pays attention to them anyway. I'm sure he'll find himself in another big one soon.
Provo will probably get matched with Rios next, especially if Bradley's next fight comes against Marquez.
It's really 50/50, but I'll say this much, Provo is a lot better than Alvarado and hits MUCH harder than Alvarado. So to see Provo stop Rios wouldn't shock me at all. My concern would be Provo's face swelling.
Ruslan, Rios, and Matthyse would all murder the glass parki. I must also add, that as a result of the Khan fight, Danny Garcia has become the most overrated fighter in the sport. Provo would hammer Garcia.
Yeah, I don't rate Garcia that highly also, but that was a good win against Khan when many people didn't give him much hope. I think the Rusky beats Garcia.
He was still green then, but if haters still insist on bringing up Broner struggling with Ponce while still green, why not bring up Garcia-Theopane? I'd LMAO if old man Judah were to beat him. I think Zab's too shot to pull it off, but if he were to beat Garcia, I wouldn't be overly shocked.
again. there were at least two times the ropes held bradley up and the ref didn't call it a knockdown.
He only came into the ring at 150. He can fight at either 140-147 and be a player. Reason being, there aren't any really BIG welterweights around at the moment. All the top guys at 147 are natural lightweights/junior welters. Floyd, Marquez, Pac, Bradley, Guerrero, none of those guys are REAL welters. It's not like the 90's, when you had BIG/legit welters like Tito, Oscar, and Ike.
That's all true but you're missing one crucial element, that being Tszyu is a bitch and Provodnikov isn't. If Bradley weathered some nice early right hands which he probably would, Tszyu would become discouraged, Bradley would start to get the better of things, and Tszyu would probably quit late like he did against Hatton and Cool Vince.
I think it's safe to say the ugly Cracker and the tough Negro would both bash the smelly parki senseless.
No. Not unless Marquez turns shot overnight, and unless Pac's chin is forever shattered. Pac in his vintage form would commit homicide on Provo. But who knows now.
