Provodnikov is inspired and noble. His spirit seems dauntless in this interview and really shines through. What he says in Russian (I understand Russian) is very powerful. Good on him. So proud of him.

[Icetroll]

Ruslan's words were almost making Alverado Cry.. 

[EggDevilKing]

Max: "Ruslan, how do you beat Mike Alvarado?"
Provodnikov: "I must break him"

[orlandomolina]

"I will light a candle for Mike" damn that's gansta

[FortNox]

I’m back watching this again in 2025. 2 warriors. But I love to hear Ruslan speaks. From the other side of the world. Them Siberian Russians are cut from a different cloth. But also love the fact Mike is also a warrior. His fights with Brandon Rios were wars too. 🥊

Congrats to Provodnikov, a hard worker who finally got a belt he rightfully earned. As for Alvarado, he took a good beating. I still give him respect.

[Goofy]

[adamfoulkes]

[reviewing]

[ninjakram]

Alvarado is scared.  Ruslan should've just said    I must break you. If he dies, he dies.

[AFIGHTCHANNEL]

lol at the end when Mike smiled at Ruslan. This was Ruslan's face :I

[Gabongos]

You make some very good points, there's many things you said I really had not considered. While it is true that a lot of guys can take Ruslan's punch, almost nobody can deal with his aggressive style while going toe-to-toe trading shots with him. Just look at the Bradley fight, when Bradley decided to trade he almost lost the fight every time, and Bradley has a hell of a chin. Alvarado was toe-to-toe with Ruslan all the fight, also Rios could not even put Alvarado down, the guy has a chin.

Damn this fight really was about wills u could tell by watching the fight that alvarado gave up mentally, his will was broken. But props for a good fight my respect.

[PYCR]

Both Great fighters great to watch!! Lets get it on

[BlessedEver]

Provodnikov is one serious animal. His final statement was very nice

[Gabongos]

He said in in the face off, but they took it out for youtube.

[ALEJANDROG]

you know what makes the video so intense....the backwards chairs

[EazyEVXO]

Provodnikov was right. "The one who is willing to go to until the end, will win the fight." Great fight Provodnikov.
