John Molina defeats Ruslan Provodnikov

John Molina defeated Ruslan Provodnikov by unanimous decision after 12 rounds of super lightweight fight.

Provodnikov's opponents realized...

After the fight with Timothy Bradley, it seemed that Provodnikov's subsequent opponents understood that the formula of blow for blow does not work with the Russian because the opponent will always fall.

Ruslan Provodnikov has never been knocked down...

They say that Ruslan Provodnikov has never been knocked down a single time in his entire career, both amateur and professional, but he has been able to knock down many who seemed unbreakable.

But that's boxing and that's precisely how it is for those who have to face Ruslan Provodnikov, enter determined to act intelligently or they will go straight to the canvas.

That's what John Molina did. Appealing to Provodnikov's style and taking advantage of it, since the Russian has no qualms about receiving whatever is sent to his face because he knows he can respond to the attack.

But Molina was very clever, he threw his bombs, cut Provodnikov's face, and on top of that, he was able to keep him at a distance with very good jab handling.

Provodnikov did not perform the same as other times and he accepted it at the end of the match, he wasn't inspired. His preparation and desire are not in question, but this time he lacked the ferocity that is characteristic of the war tank that Ruslan usually is.

A very good victory for Molina, who showed tremendous qualities and endurance, a very good strategy for this fight that was complicated but he knew how to overcome.

A fight where, due to their qualities, neither deserved to lose, but it must be recognized that it was Molina who showed more skill and ability and that's why he took the victory.
