On Tuesday a press conference was held for Friday’s fight between “The Siberian Rocky” Ruslan Provodnikov (23-3, 16 KO’s) and Jose Luis Castillo (66-12-1, 57 KO’s) that will take place on this Friday, November 28 at the Luzhniki GCKZ “Russia” Arena in Moscow.
The Provodnikov vs. Castillo fight has been widely derided, because of the mismatch is presents. Castillo is well past his prime, he’s old, he hasn’t been in with solid competition, and he’s going to take a lot of punishment from a hard-hitting and aggressive guy like Provodnikov.
Meanwhile, it doesn’t help anyone’s credibility that 62-year-old actor Mickey Rourke is fighting on the card.
Hopefully nothing bad comes from any of those fights. Stay tuned for more updates on the Provodnikov fight and event in Moscow over the next few days.
