If you have HBO,tune in Saturday night because the fight of the year is there from Verona NY with Lucas Matthysse vs Ruslan Provodinkov.
This fight has the potential for massive violence and will likely blow away these PBC "classics" for action.
I see this bout going one of two ways-Provodnivkov using his superior physical strength to wear Matthysse down or Matthysse using his underrated boxing skills just enough to gain a decision.
I've really gone back and forth on this one,but I like one of the two's jaws just a little better...
The other HBO fight is former lightweight champion Terrence Crawford going after a vacant junior welterweight belt against Thomas Dulorme.
This belt should really still be Provodnikov's to begin with after being robbed by a bad split decision against Chris Algeri and to give the winner of this bout compared to the Matthysse-Provodnikov winner is a joke.
Dulorme failed in his only true test,so this could be a one sided fight..
Showtime has Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in his light heavyweight debut against Andzej Fonfara.
Chavez moves up in weight and Fonfara comes off an explosive and close decision loss to Adonis Stevenson in which he dropped Stevenson.
This could be an exciting bout to watch.
Undefeated Amir Iman battles Walter Castillo in the undercard...
