WBC Super Lightweight champ, Ruslan Provodnikov, continues to impress fight after fight. In the 2nd defense of this belt, Ruslan traveled to England to fight Ashley Theophane.

In a typical Ruslan like performance, the Russian hard man just wore down the perky Brit & 3 KD's (a cross, upper & rib shot) finally ended matters @ 2:35 of the 8th with a TKO.

Both fighters went out looking for a KO in the 8th & Ruslan got his 12th stoppage @ 140 to improve to 13-0.

The 2 US judges had Ruslan up 69-64 & 68-65 but surprisingly the Australian judge had Ashley up, 67-66.

Later this year Ruslan plans to move up to 147 to make the 1st defense of his WBO WW strap he won earlier this year.
