A War is definitely on the cards tonight with Ruslan Provodnikov V Lucas Matthysse go head to head tonight.
No excuses from you lightweights. Not only has this fight got FOTY slugfest gotten written all over it is going to be on relatively early around 2am
Matthysse is more skilled but I think he may be drawn into a war with Provodnikov which might not end well for Lucas.
If he boxes, frustrates Provodnikov early then put the power down in the second half of the fight he might even stop the Siberian Rocky.
Fighter of the Year for 2014, Terence Crawford makes his debut at light welter taking on Thomas Dulorme.
And Chavez Jr is up again, the judges favourite now at light heavy may well get the nod over Fonfara

How the hell did that first judge score it a draw btw?
Had 115-113 with Prov getting the last 2, but thought Matthysse had it won by the 10th.

Well he only scored it 1 round different from you.

Yeah, obviously But what round? Matthysse went into the last two just needing to not get KO'd. He was comfortably enough ahead that he shouldn't have had to worry about the last two, I thought.

You could make a case for Provodnikov winning 3,4,5,8,9,11&12

Prov needs to learn how to finish, he had Bradley, algeiri and now matthesye all over the place and could have won all of these fights if he had abit more sense

Awww cheers D4, pity i've seen them but it's the thought that counts. Would appreciate you keeping it up weekly for me though when my life gets in the way of watching every scrap of boxing

I get that from helping teach the kids bud.
Seriously though I would appreciate it and i'm sure a few others would as I don't get too watch as much as i'd like due to work and family.

I gave Prov 4,8,9,11&12
Vik said he scored it 8-4. I think it was definitely closer to 8-4 than a draw, I gave Prov round 4 but it was close.
It was a convincing 7-5 rather than a fight that could've gone either way, imo.
