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

[Mars_ax]

Horseshit!

Great war, solid scrap. Never overlook a guy simply because you never heard of him

That was Tims toughest fight to date

No doubt, he dodged a bullet, Bradley may have officially "won" the fight but he lost the war.

Provo has a future in boxing, there's no shame in losing a close fight to Bradley.

The thing is, Provo is limited, but I had him clearly with 1,2,11,12.....and no will ever convince me that Bradley swept -eight straight rounds- the way he was wobbling and stunned when hit clean. Nope. Tempo changed every time he was touched

It's crying time again for Tim, he's not going to get much credit for this win, and he could easily have 2 losses on his record.

yeah, he clearly lost to Pacman. This fight was close and really could have gone either way: however, how many times has Bradley been hurt and how many times has Provodnikov been hurt? Lopsided in favour of the Russian. Bradley still made it a close fight with his stamina, endurance, heart etc . If Bradley fought smartly , he would've won this fight easy. Summary- Bradley had an off night, Provodnikov was the better fighter today, and Bradley should have 2 losses on his record. Btw, how does a top 10 p4p fighter have such trouble against a guy like Provodnikov (no disrespect to him ) - It shows Bradley is barely top 20 p4p
