I see a war. Somethings telling me to lean towards Alvarado for some reason. I don't know though. Alvarado was drawn into a war with Rios, Provodnikov drew Bradley into a war. They've both shown they don't mind taking a shot to land one.Neither shies away from confrontation in that regard, so I think we'll see lots of action. I've really not studied up on either, aside from just seeing both of them a couple or few times on tv. I'm goin with Alvarado, but i don't care who wins because I probably won't have a bet put down. I just hope its a good fight. It looks like a good one on paper. I can only hope for something remotely reminiscent of Rodriguez-Wolak 1. The ingredients are there. I'm curious to see what happens when they mix it up.

I've got Provodnikov edging Alvarado in a straight up brawl that will see both fighters survive until the final round.

Alvarado by UD if he box's smart and stays on the outside. Bradley did a good job of that during the middle rounds. Alvarado can do that too.

The red one or the blue one...lol

Seriously, this fight will be glorified Rock em Sock em robots. The

MMA action crowd will love it. There will be very little craft and lots of brawl. It will all be a matter of who gets caught with that punch, because they will both be there to be hit. I guess Provodnikov wins

What problem

Alvarado is the better more versatile boxer of the two but you can never sleep against the very tough Provodnikov. Provodnikov keeps up the pressure similar and has a tough chin and Alvarado isn't exactly hard to hit.
