Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-04-18, great battle with some very tough exchanges:
Lucas Matthysse vs Ruslan Provodnikov is very close to get f
our stars (look at the comments if you want to see how we rate it round by round).
The former interim Wbc champion Lucas Martin Matthysse entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 36-3-0 (34 KOs=94%) and he is ranked as the No.3 super lightweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Terence Crawford). He suffered his last defeat in 2013 when he faced Danny Garcia (=Garcia vs Matthysse), since then he has fought twice beating John Molina Jr (The Ring magazine Fight of the Year 2014, Matthysse vs Molina) and Roberto Ortiz (=Matthysse vs Ortiz).
His opponent, Ruslan Provodnikov, has an official record of 24-3-0 (17 knockouts) and he entered as the No.8 in the same weight class. He won the Wbo world belt in 2013 against Mike Alvarado (one of the best boxing fights of the year, Alvarado vs Provodnikov) but then he lost it at his first defense, against Chris Algieri (=Provodnikov vs Algieri); after this bout he came back to win beating Jose Luis Castillo (=Provodnikov vs Castillo). Matthysse vs Provodnikov is the main event of the evening. Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review: 2014-11-28, pretty good fight between Ruslan Provodnikov and Jose Luis Castillo: it gets three stars. Ruslan Provodnikov entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 23-3-0 (16 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.7 light welterweight in the world, he won the Wbo light-Ww title at the end of 2013 beating Mike Alvarado in one of the best boxing fights of the year (=Alvarado vs Provodnikov) but then he lost the belt in his only fight of 2014, when he faced Chris Algieri (=Provodnikov vs Algieri).
His opponent, the 40-year-old Jose Luis Castillo (10 years older than Provodnikov), has an official record of 66-12-1 (57 KOs=86%), he was the Wbc Lw champion from June 2000 to April 2002, and from June 2004 to May 2005 when he lost to Diego Corrales (“The Ring magazine” Fight of the Year 2005, Corrales vs Castillo I). Castillo fought three times between 2013 and 2014, losing to Antwone Smith (=Smith vs Castillo) but then he defeated Felix Bojorquez and Jose Luis Payan.

Review: 2014-06-14, pretty good fight between Ruslan Provodnikov and Chris Algieri: it gets three stars. Ruslan Provodnikov entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 23-2-0 (16 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.3 light welterweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Danny Garcia). Provodnikov suffered his last loss in 2013 when he faced then-undefeated Timothy Bradley but it was a controversial decision (5-stars-fight Bradley vs Provodnikov), he came back to victory in his second bout of 2013 beating Mike Alvarado in a fight valid for the WBO light-Ww belt (4-stars-fight Alvarado vs Provodnikov).
His opponent, the undefeated Chris Algieri, has a perfect record of 19-0-0 (8 knockouts) and he entered as the No.46 welterweight, he has never fought as an amateur because he converted to pro boxing after retiring from kickboxing with a 20-0 record (former Wka and Iska champions). Provodnikov vs Algieri is valid for the WBO light welterweight title (Provodnikov’s first defense), first world title shot for Algieri. Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review: 2013-10-19, Mike Alvarado vs Ruslan Provodnikov was a really exciting fight as we expected. Alvarado came off three consecutive spectacular fights: two fights of the year candidate as Alvarado vs Herrera and Rios vs Alvarado 1 in 2012 and a great battle against Brandon Rios in their second fight, but also the Russian boxer came off the candidate for Fight of the Year 2013, a very controversial defeat against Timothy Bradley…
In this fight Provodnikov was the aggressor but Alvarado likes toe-to-toe fights and exchanging shot for shot, so the result was an action packed fight with also two knockdowns and a “touching finish” with the winner in tears hugging his mother: Alvarado vs Provodnikov is definitely one of the best boxing fights of 2013, four stars! Mike Alvarado (34-1-0, 23 KOs) entered as the No.4 light welterweight in the world while Ruslan Provodnikov (22-2-0, 15 KOs) entered as the No.6 (currently the #1 in this weight division is Danny Garcia). Alvarado vs Provodnikov is valid for the WBO light welterweight title (Alvarado’s first defense). Watch the video!
Review: 2013-03-16, we didn’t expected a war between Bradley and Provodnikov, because the American usually is not very aggressive, but this time the bout starts furiously. The performance of both boxers was outstanding: back-and-forth action, tough exchanges, one knockdown and everything you could want from a candidate for Fight of the Year 2013…or rather, there was something we didn’t like: the controversial ending!!! The undefeated Timothy Bradley (29-0-0, 12 KOs) entered as the No.3 welterweight in the world while Ruslan Provodnikov (22-1-0, 15 KOs) entered as the No.46 (after this fight Provodnikov is ranked as the No. 12). Bradley vs Provodnikov is valid for the WBO welterweight title (Bradley’s first defense). Watch the video!
Review: 2012-06-29, even with the TKO in the second round, the fight between Ruslan Provodnikov and Jose Reynoso isn’t worth our three stars. Ruslan Provodnikov ranked as the No.22 light welterweight in the world, entered the fight with a record of 21-1-0 while Jose Reynoso had a record of 16-3-1. Provodnikov vs Reynoso is the main event of the evening. Watch the video!
Review: 2012-01-27, spectacular first round with one knockdown then the pace slows down but in the six there is another knockdown followed by a nice knockout: three stars. Ruslan Provodnikov, ranked as the No.25 light welterweight in the world, entered the fight with a record of 20-1-0 while David Torres had a record of 21-2-2. Watch the video!
