Ahhhhh so Prov is crazier and has more of a killer instinct? Because of all the highlight reel KO's he has against top notch competition.......wait
Well he sure has more of a killer instinct, because he had tim bradley concussed and brutally knocked him out!......wait
Prov's faster/better on the inside, so he destroyed TB on the inside and doesn't make gigantic defensive flaws!!!!......Wait TB worked him and beat him because of his inside work, and Prov drops his right hand EVERY time he throws a left hook...And lucas isn't quick on the inside anyway!!!! Wait he KO'd Lamont peterson (way faster than prov) with a left hook the ONLY time they were toe to toe, in the 3rd round.
Ahhhh yes Prov has been to dark demonic places that Lucas certainly doesn't go to!!!..........Wait when have we ever seen this? When he couldn't finish off concussed TB over 11 fukkin rounds? No wait it was against Algeiri! No wait he didn't do any work after the first. Oh well he has right? Because look at all the brutal KO's he has against non-espn fighters!!!!! Wait nah that hasn't happened.
So that article of opinion and conjecture (which was mostly BS) is what has @LauderdaleBoss @Knicksman20 and some others ready to pick prov???
It's a toss up fight with Provo prolly being a slight underdog. Ruslan can be an offensive beast when he wants to and I just think he's the better puncher. (power, release, versatile, etc..) Me picking him by late KO isn't some sort of blind leap of faith
This is a FOTY candidate. Fights like this don't need any long-winded breakdowns. You just pick slugger A or slugger B and see what happens.
