Tom, Tony and Rich discuss this week’s most significant fight cards, and major combat sports news. We also recap last weekend’s major combat sports events. We cover Roy Nelson’s kicking of Big John McCarthy, Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson Fury telling drug testers to “F” af, Premier Boxing Champions and their dwindling fight cards, and the recent torrent of UFC fighters willing to voice their displeasure with the organization and the pay scale. Could it be that the Fertitta exodus has fighters less intimidated by the shadow of the family’s former mafia ties? Rich has a little soap box moment on this subject.

Sibirien, Rusland (November 12, 2015)– Efter sin dominerende præstation denne fortidLørdag da han tidligere stoppet ubesejret Jesus Alvarez Rodriguez, tidligere WBO junior weltervægt mester, Ruslan Provodnikov er klar til en enorm 2016 da han rettet mod de bedste kæmpere ved junior weltervægt & weltervægt.
På toppen af sin liste er WBO Welterweight mester, Timothy Bradley.
Provodnikov stoppet Rodriguez i 4 runder i den vigtigste begivenhed på 7th Edition Monte Carlo Boxing Bonanza Night of Champions og er på udkig efter den største fisk til yngel, da han begiver sig ud på det nye år.
Kampen var hans jomfrurejse med ny træner Joel Diaz. “Det var en god sejr for mig. Jeg følte sikker og mit forsvar allerede følte sig bedre. Jeg ved, at tingene i den næste lejr kommer sammen for mig og Joel uddannelse. Mit mål for næste år er at hævne mine tab Lucas Matthysse, Mauricio Herrera, Timothy Bradley og Chris ALGIERI!”, Said Provodnikov. Said Diaz, “Det var en kamp for at få ham tilbage efter de hårde kampe. We had a strategy of working on defense and body punches. He did a little more of that then he did in previous fights. It will take a couple of fights to get him to where I want.”
“Efter kampen sagde han at han ønskede at forløse sit tab til Matthysse, Bradley og Herrera. Jeg kan godt lide, at, og der er andre modstandere såsom Danny Garcia. That would be a great fight because they are both heavy hitters.
Men Bradley er øverst på listen som en omkamp af 2013 Kæmp af året og vil være den mest ønskelige kamp for boksning fans.
Bradley, der var uddannet i to årtier under Diaz, vandt også på lørdag da han stoppede Brandon Rios i 9 runder under vejledning af nye træner Teddy Atlas.
“Teddy er en stor motivator, og han bringer en masse energi til hjørnespark.”
En af de mindeværdige øjeblikke fra Lørdagens Bradley – Rios encounter var en livlig Atlas tirade, hvor han sammenligner Bradley til en brandmand.
“Tja, hvis Bradley er en brandmand, det er Ruslan der bringer inferno til kampen. If they rematch it would be a tough fight. After the first fight, alle ved, at Bradley blev vansiret fra kampen. Bradley was damaged and in a rematch, det er, hvad Bradley ville tænke, og han ville ikke være fokuseret. Ruslan would take the initiative and knock him out”
“Ruslan kiggede store. The collaboration between Ruslan and Joel Diaz is going well,” sagde Provodnikov s promotor Artie Pelullo.
“Denne sejr sætter alt op til en stor 2016. He indicated to me that he wants to avenge his losses and also seek the biggest fights. I think he is in prime position to do just that. I expect to have him in a big fight in the first quarter of 2016. “
