C/S and i like Provodnikov a lot but this is truth
Prov is overrated and always has been. He's nothing more than John Roidlina with a cool nickname. Shane Mosley KOs Ruslan Provodnikov brehs.
But since yall dont believe, if the fight comes off...I dont wanna hear after the fact "well, Prov must have had something took out of him by Matthysse" and all them excuses, this the same dude who couldnt put away someone who was concussed in the 1st round and couldnt remember anything after the fight & a guy who only had 1 eye & 0 power for 90% of the fight.
Shane is naturally all wrong for a guy like Ruslan, but this is the way past your prime, getting a draw against Mora and getting slapped around by Mundine version of Shane.
I do give him props for beating Cano at this advanced state, but that was a competitive 115-113 type of fight.
Provodnikov is better than Cano though.
I honestly think cats are rolling the dice on Ruslan being finished after that hard fight with Lucas. It's possible, but he's still going to catch you with something.
Not too sure if Shane can take them types of hits anymore.
It's been over 2 years since Shane fought at 147, and he just fought at 160. At his age, i don't think that's a good idea to drain that far down and fight somebody like provo. I think he gets stopped.I disagree.
Shane has more power than Provodnikov and is naturally much larger....plus Prov's a sitting target who blocks every punch with his face. I think Shane will KO Provodnikov.
Matthysse barely needed any footwork in the fight with Prov, just 2-3 punch combinations and slip/turn him, which was enough to confuse Provodnikov
Shane can do that and will badly hurt Prov, Im telling you. Prov is too small & too limited for Shane.

Ruslan has agreed to face Shane...and get his career ended
Funny....Shane is at 154.5 right now. He posted this earlier today:
Looks like 147 wouldn't be nothing for him to make breh
He said he fought at 160, because that's what Mayorga wanted so he ate his way up to meet him.
That aint happening breh..Shane dont want it with demon like Prov
Prov got a granite chin. If he's gonna be stopped it needs to be to the body. The way timmy kept Ruslan off him while concussed was his body work. Shane also has an ATG chin and elite foot movement.I hope I'm wrong & Shane KO's him truthfully. I just don't see it though bruh
