Timothy Bradley Jr. vs. Ruslan Provodnikov - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Mars_ax]

Jones was reduced to silence and laugh in the 11th when Kellerman called him on "No Max hes not feeling these punches at all. They are only hitting the top of Tims head and not connecting on his chin so hes really not hurt"...Max basically shut him down off that

114-113 still after replay. Round 6th was this fight in a nut shell. Quality over quantity.

Bradley showed a lot of heart and/or cojones surviving the 12 rounds, there no question about that. I don't argue the decision, because during the middle rounds Tim sucked it up and Provo let himself get outworked and outboxed. Remember Provo had little championship experience, and although Tim isn't a big puncher he was definately getting Provo's attention. (look at a replay of his face)
I would have like to see Provo get the nod, but it wasn't to be. Provo did 3 times the damage Pacquiao did, but he fell short on the cards because he got outworked. Pac on the other hand was able to outbox Bradley, there wasn't any doubt who won that fight.

Tim isn't going to be the same fighter after what happened last night. He got his ass handed to him, he simply does not have enough power, and he's too small to compete with the big dogs at welterweight.
