    Default Tim Bradley vs Ruslan Provodnikov!

    Anyone? This may actually be a good scrap. Long time off for Bradley and eyes of scrutiny on him after Manny farce result. In the back of my head I see Bradley in a 12 round dec but its no gimme. Provo is a solid body puncher as long as he doesn't fall into head hunting and be outhustled. He should handle the weight alright. He has time in the Manny camp and all the motivation of a young fighter with a huge oppurtunity. I think its an interesting choice, good style clash that could be a fast pace fight and personally I'll take it over a rematch with Pederson.

    Tim is in limbo land but does not want to play anyone else's tune. It is a strong move.

    Tim isn't knocking anyone out, and Ruslan is a come-forward aggressive fighter, which should play to Tim's strengths. I like Tim on the cards.

    It sounds like a keep busy and do not forget me type of fight for Bradley.

    Bob Arum really screwed Tim. I hopes he gets pass this guy with ease. Then maybe we can get Bradley vs JMM. Its so many fights out there to be made but there not. Even with other fighters being busy, it's still better fights and cards to be made. I think I'll rather see Gamboa vs Bradley instead of this fight.
    1. Amir Khan
    2. Berto
    3. Ghost
    4. Mike Jones
    5. EVEN Mosley
    6. Paul Malignaggi
    7. Thurman just signed(I'm sure he would have took that fight)
    8. EVEN Ortiz with his broken jaw
    All of which would be better fights for Bradley

    The Russian contingent at 140 are all making their move to the top at the same time and im excited to see them all tested against the best in the division.

    Shafikov - With his dominant win over Mensah is now rated #2 in the IBF.

    Allakhverdiev - Is the WBA and IBO Champion.

    I don't think anyone is physically stronger than Provodnikov at 140 including Rios and he's been working on his footwork, movement and all around boxing ability recently. His defense has never been the best but he's as tough has they come, can punch and wouldn't be a easy fight for anyone especially another banger like Rios or Alverado. Bradley has got his hands full...

    I don't know, just don't get some of those at all. Khan is on the rebuild. Berto doesn't belong anywhere near a title fight after Guerrero literally beat him up and down. Guerrero is talking Mayweather likely...Bradley could only dream. Mike Jones Honestly he and moth ball Mosley in a ring with Bradley could result in instant coma, for the fans. Paulie would be fun but don't count on it. Thurman is basically a jr middle posing as a welter and being polished. Ortiz...I don't even know if HE knows if he wants to continue boxing.

    Provo is being brought in as a bounce back fight with a very fan friendly style but one they are assuming can be easily boxed and has never been at a top level. I really think...call me off...that Manny will be sneaking a peek here and this might be a lead in for rematch. Its not all Bradley fault but in dust off Manny debacle Tim needs to really impress and redeem. If Bradley and camp are thinking Provo will just lay down they are in for a rude suprise. Though I don't like the way he sounds in interviews...'just happy to get an oppurtunity'.

    Pretty much right there, 12 dec. Comes down to ring rust Bradley and bodywork-activity for Provo.

    Should be a decent fight

    But it's a big step down from the Pacquiao stage!

    That is what I am thinking Bradley would try one of the bigger names but I think it is a low profile stay busy and stay relevant fight.

    I like Bradley, he is a legitimate contender.

    This should be a good fight. I think their styles will mesh well.

    Agreed

    Don't know if Bradley thinks he's bigger than he is? Sure he beat Pacquiao on the cards but I think that "win" damaged his rep more than anything.

    I think a Peterson rematch would have been a much better move

    It seems odd that Bradley would choose Provodnikov as his next opponent. Not to diss Provodnikov, i'm sure he'll be game, but it's a chicken shit move by Bradley.
