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

[Mars_ax]

Is this on TV in England?

It should be @Master, but like 3:00 AM Sunday in the UK.

If it is I assume Prime Time who no one has or Sky I think the fight is only worth ESPN FNF for me. I hope this is not PPV for you guys?

No sir, It would bomb on PPV, it's on regular HBO, If it was i'd be hunting a stream.

Its neat that Roach is training Provodnicock, but I don't think he has a great chance in this one. He's #10 in the world fighting a guy who is #4 (behind Floyd, Marquez and Manny). That kind of disparity can make for a competitive fight, but rarely does the #10 contender prevail.

Provodnicock does have punching power and a vengeful, smart cornerman on his side.

As much as I hate to think it let alone type it out, I think Rios wears down Marquez and ends his career. Marquez was pushed to the limit by Juan Diaz in 2009....I think Rios is bigger & badder, I hate the little fucker but he's a good fighter.

I would like to see JMM or Rios vs Bradley, I don't think Ruslan has a chance vs him too slow, too stiff, too easy to hit.

That would be a shame to see JMM lose to a cock like Rios only because he is old. Rios v Bradley would be good.

Yeah...but at some point in time that constant pressure can wear down even an elite boxer like JMM.

Really like this fight...wish I made a thread about it . I favor Bradley over 12 but if he in anyway or fashion is overlooking Provo he is in for a rude awakening and never underestimate judges indirectly looking to right a wrong. Just saying. Provo is a very capable body puncher with high volume and at some point these boys are going to be in a phone booth and slug.

Tim is taking this for one reason only and thats to look very good and he will fancy himself a puncher here and sell out for right hands, something he very much needs to get away from.

You're welcome to do any of the fight/chat threads, I just do most them because i'm sort of expected to, and nobody else seems to want to.

My thoughts on the fight are Provo puts up a good effort, but just falls short on the score cards. I'd love to see Provo kick Bradley's lying ass and/or for continuing to act like he beat Pacquiao. I had Pac winning at least 8 of the 12 rounds, so fuck Bradley, he's just a fucking punk in my book.

The Bradley fight is on Box Nation! No other Top Rank cards as yet but that changes my plans and I'm going to watch it live. See all the usual suspects tomorrow night.

Fantastic news! It was not in the boxing news mag. I hate this short notice stuff, not very professional.

That is a bit unfair on Bradley because he did not score the fight as he is more than prepared to have the rematch. BTW you are doing a great job on the fight threads, keep up the good work.

But the little dickhead is acting like he beat Pacquiao, which is total bullshit. Of course he's prepared to have the rematch, it would be another big payday he doesn't really deserve.

As for the fight/chat threads, thank-you sir, I do what I can do.

Bigger fan of the overall card than the main event. Love watching Andy Ruiz Jr, Wale Omotoso is always fun and the Lithuanian (who's name I'm not even going to try to spell) was fantastic in the Olympics. Very interesting undercard.

Bradley all day, wide UD

You could be right bro, but i'm expecting a competitive fight, however if Bradley 'dominates' it will be a fucking snoozer.
