Alvarado v Provodnikov poll

Cannot wait! This will be explosive. I honestly don't know how this goes. You?

Erre couldn't pick one mate if im honest. Errrrrrrr Alvarado boxes at range like he did with Rios and takes a UD having ridden the storm that is Ruslan......no....ruslan stops him......no.....he don't....i really have no idea but it should be an epic FOTY candidate.

I am going to stick my neck out (not my wallet though) and pick Provodnkov by KO. NO, Alvarado pts. ARGH!!!!

Haha yeh mate. Cant see many punting on this one.

Unless your a loaded lumberjack.

the only thing he is loaded with is Newcy Brown

I'm going for alvarado UD, think he may be just a bit too cute for Ruslan

Ruslan is explosive though but Alvarado has a good set of whiskers himself so if he can box like he did against Rios he cqn cut up and bust him up from range

But it'll be good there's no doubt about it

a lot of people think Alvarado is getting stopped!

I can understand that, but I think he may just be tough enough to take Ruslans shots when he does get inside like he did in the second Rips fight. He dominated most of the action then dug in when Rios did land hard

Going for Alvarado KO, think he might just be a bit too smart for old Provvy.

Provodnikov isn't just a puncher. he showed some great skill to close Bradley down and pressure him. Its one thing outboxing Rios at the second attempt, but something tells me Provodnikov is a much much better boxer than Rios. I think Provodnikov will get to him and stop Alvarado. be a good fight though, Alvarado has a lot more power than Bradley, so he certainly has a chance of landing something decisive himself

Mile High Mike has failed to make the 140 limit for tomorrow's fight.

He came in at 141, and has 2hrs to lose the 1lb.

Seems as though Mike's over looking Provodnikov. Which would be a huge mistake, as Mike's been in too many wars over the years.

changed my mind. rewatched the Bradley prov fight. I think Bradley was out to prove a point that night and was reckless. I think bradleys lack of power allowed prov to walk straight in and trade. I think he gets stopped tonight with the same tactics, and gets outboxed if hes more patient

Does anyone know roughly what the UK time will be for this fight?

Probably about 4, maybe earlier as its a weak undercard so less televised fights than usual

I do think Bradley made Provodnikov look better than he actually is, a world class fighter would have finished him when he had the chance but he was let off the hook more than once. Alvarado himself isn't world class but against Rios in the rematch he at least showed a plan B, not a fight i'm overly excited about but Mike on points is my bet.
