True, Bradley was fucked up. Seeing him fall on his back in the first round was a bit embarrassing and if that was the UK, you would probably have seen it stopped. The UK is dodgy though as we did see a cracking fight. You should at least allow a fighter to show his heart and that happened. I think it was the second too where Bradley was being hurt with everything. I was happy to see him take the knee in the last and think he could have done that sooner to clear his mind a little.
Possibly Bradley just underestimated his opponent somewhat and wouldn't make the same mistakes again. Generally speaking he is a very smart fighter. I want to see a rematch as I think Bradley sold himself a little short. He won, but it was a gruelling victory and Bradley is better than this. I don't think Provodnikov is.
