Ruslan Provodnikov on upset win Over Mike Alvarado: “To become a world champion you must take risks, I came to his hometown. My team told me from the get-go I would be a world champion. I needed to win for Freddie. I miss him. I just needed to stay calm. I am a world champion like Leonard and Duran. I made him not want to fight me anymore.

Mike Alvarado was not available for comments but Alvarado trainer Shann Villhauer quoted that “It just wasn’t Mike’s night. He was too defensive. I didn’t like the way he fought. He believed all the press clippings after the Rios rematch about being a great boxer and he got away from what works.”
