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!

Thank you for the tip I saw the fight.
I hope this website adopt a different policy in the near future regarding just highlighting the fights otherwise it is dead
Thanks for the link; amazing beatdown by the Russian..he would not be denied that night, smiling and having the time of his life.
You are promoting this as one of the best fight for 2013 and you are not capable to have the FULL fight. How come?
Without full fights this website is useless.
Agrred, dude she either move his website to china or something or just shut it down. IT IS WORTHLESS IF IT IS JUST HIGHLIGHTS
I love Provodnikov’s aggressiveness, i think he could beat also Lucas Matthysse…what a fight and firework between the two
