Provodnikov stops Alvarado

Ruslan Provodnikov wore down Mike Alvarado all night with blow after powerful blow until Alvarado couldn’t answer the bell to start the 11th round.

The Russian fighter nicknamed the “Siberian Rocky” stunned Alvarado to capture the junior welterweight title in Broomfield, Colorado, on Saturday. Provodnikov (23-2) knocked down Alvarado (34-2) twice in the eighth round with a series of punches near the ropes and finished him off late in the 10th. The fight was halted by referee Tony Weeks, who asked Alvarado a few times if he wanted to continue and the bruising American responded that he didn’t.
