Yeah he's a weird one isnt he? Sometimes I really rate him and think he has a bit of everything, other times I think he's massively flattered by his match making and was lucky he ran in to Mr Glass and these dodgy judges he often seems to have on his side. You can easily make cases for him losing to Lamont, Theophane and Herrera (that was a definite robbery). I thought perhaps he fought up or down to the level of the opponent he's in with but I'm not sure now after Saturday, he just looked pretty average and his often good timing was hideous.
Anyway, **** Danny Garcia and Mayweather v Pacquiao for that matter, this is hands down the best fight in boxing in the coming weeks. Look at these two!!

Was chatting a little about this upcoming bout a few posts back, but yeah it could well turn out to be a great fight to watch.
I don't rate Provodnikov as being a top level operator, but styles make fights and he certainly has the skill and attributes to upset hitters, and Matthysse is heavy handed.
Have a suspicion that it may well turn out to be the sort of bout that puts many of the more high profile pairings this year to shame.
One thing that has to be said about Matthysse is that he does not duck the tough fights. Is a regular thing for him to go in against fighters in and around his level.
