Broner has to stay smart the whole entire fight. The last few fights I've seen Broner starts trading these are guys like Gavin Reese and Paulie who could not even hurt Khan. Provo is a different Animal trading with him is not a very smart Idea.
Provodnikov can hurt guys we seen Bradley hurt by Provo and Bradley has one heck of a Chin. Broners chin has not been tested yet and he has shown in the passed he can get hit. I think Provo wins this fight in a tko around the 9th or 10th round.
Interesting match up.
We don't know how tough Broner is but by the end of this matchup we will know and the answer will determine the winner.
Broner is a man who can keep his composure and box, i believe that on his feet he can win rounds just like Alvarado did.
But Provodkinov is like a smaller version of Jake Lamotta in that he is a small man with a big head and no neck, which means he can take a punch. Broner won't be able to get Ruslan off of him, and Ruslan will land.
I see Ruslan as the big favorite, he is in another class as far as experience goes.
For Broner to win he MUST throw more punches and he MUST protect his body. He will get hit and if he doesn't react correctly he will be knocked out.
Why do i say Ruslan is in another level?
Because Ruslan did to Bradley, a welterweight, what Pacquiao could not.
Broner has only won a vacant title & the rest were paper title
Sean G did you read my prediction on the Provodnikov vs. Alverado match up ? If not go back and take a look at what I said. I would put my money on Provodnikov at this point this guy is the real deal I just wanted to see how he came out of this fight. Broner could not keep this guy off of him neither could Mayweather.No I am not saying he could beat Mayweather but he would make it very interesting.
Sean G,
Intriguing fight sir.
Thou must be careful not to overpraise Ruslan Provodnikov, a hard hitter and a good fighter indeed though it was not so long ago he was fighting on the ESPN channel and losing to Herrera.
Broner is either loved or hated but either way is an extremely talented fighter, Provodnikov likes to load up on wide punches, did you see him nearly fall with a left hook a threw last night? This would be his downfall against Broner who always maintains eye-contact, composure. This will allow him to take advanatge of the wild shots and land counter uppercuts and straight right hands. We have seen that Broner can fight very well on the inside in the past against DeMarco and others.
Ultimately Adrien Broner is a step above Ruslan and would break him down with impressive inside fighting to win a lopsided Unanimous Decision.
Thanks for the question Sean!
My problem with broner, he sometimes fights at the opponents level and Broner is more hittable then Mayweather. Right now, Broner is lacking discipline and Ruslan will change that when ever they fight. Provodnikov is a very good pressure fighter who doesn't plod his way through, he uses head movement and feints to explode on his opponent. This fight will test Broner's character and resolve. At this point, I slightly favor Provodnikov, but I will agree with one thing, Broner does have composure and can be patient in spots, and he has talent but he needs to put his talent in better use.
edit: Frist of all, that was three things. Second of all, Can't wait for Adrien Broner vs Marcos Rene Maidana.
edit: @OneDrop I mentioned Mayweather because he is often compared to Mayweather which I think is a bunch of bullSH!T.
Did someone seriously just say Provodnikov would make a match against Mayweather interesting. We are talking about someone who was viewed as a C-grade, limited brawler. He is now B-grade but he is not at the top of that mountain. Broner, Matthysee, Garcia, Marquez, would have a great chance of beating him.
Against Broner, l see a competitive fight for AB by UD scores of 116-112.
provodnikov 5th round knockout i dont feel broner is as good, experienced or even hits as hard as him i think it would be a war where broner gets knocked out not a tko i mean strait unconscious like jmm did to paq
comes to style, bradley is the poorman’s version of floyd, we have another floyd copycat on broner so i see ruslan facing another bradley on broner, only broner dont hve bradleys durable chin, and the guy screams like a pig openning his mouth everytime he punch, could b another ortiz jaw accident waiting to happen w/ ruslan being more explosive than josesito lopez, not to mention broners footworx sucks, i dont think he wil survive provodnikov
@Rian G - Who said anything about Mayweather?
Edit: @ Rian G - Oh right, yeah I agree, the comparison is a load of nonsense, the only similarity apart from them both being black & arrogant is they've both been beaten in the ring but have been gifted a decision to keep their rise to stardom on track
Be specific.
