Provodnikov: Lomachenko simply declasses his rivals

Russian Ruslan Provodnikov believes that Venezuelan native Jorge Linares will not have an easy time in the ring against the Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko.

"I know Linares, I know that he is very fast. Two talented boxers will come to the ring, but if you watch the last battles of Lomachenko, then he simply declasses his rivals. I do not know if there is anybody now who could give Vasyl a good fight. I would like to see, of course, that Linares will be able to oppose something to him," Provodnikov said.

On the night of May 13, the WBO world champion in the super featherweight division Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko will compete for the WBA lightweight title with his current holder Jorge Linares of Venezuela.
