By Wilmar Patino (Boxing’s Finest) Hello Boxing fans and enthusiasts and welcome to another edition of Upcoming fights for the next 30 days. As you already know Danny Garcia will be taking on Lamont Peterson this Saturday in a non title fight.

Matthysse vs. Provodnikov quotes
Mr. Freddie Roach: Ruslan is doing really well and he’s in a really good shape for this fight. He knows just how to fight and he’s a good fighter and I look forward to it, and on paper it looks like one of the best this year. So, it’s going to be a tremendous show and I don’t think you want to miss this on.
Mr. Artie Pelullo: Okay, thanks, Freddie, and now I’d like to introduce to you all Ruslan Provodnikov, the Siberian Rocky, who, as I’ve said I’ve had the good fortune of meeting him and Vadim seven years ago when I went to Moscow for the first time and signed Ruslan to an exclusive contract. And, boy, did I not know how lucky I was at the time–Ruslan Provodnikov, gentlemen and ladies–Ruslan Provodnikov.
Matthysse/ Provodnikov: Redemption or Whitewash for the Argentine Hellhound?
By Andrew Kemp: As we open 2015 with Tuscaloosa’s Deontay Wilder claiming the WBC strap, making him the first US Heavyweight Champion in nearly 8 years, ripples emerge from below the limelight of Heavyweight boxing. In fact these are not merely ripples, but the emergence of a tsunami in the Light Welterweight division.
Argentine hellhound Lucas Matthysse will face Russia’s Ruslan Provodnikov at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in what will undoubtedly be a major contender for fight of the year.
