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

[IamInuit]

I had to turn it off by I think by rd 4 or 5. Lapdog and crew were firmly attached to Timmy's nut sack. The ref was even looking for a way to get Timmy out of it the freakin hack.

Kellerman was the one calling Lamps and Jones on it throughout. He tried to reel them in as they were all over Bradley.

How anyone scored the 11th Bradley is a mystery to me.

I was going to say that Max is the last bastion of objectivity on the broadcasts but unfortunately in order to listen to him I have to listen to Lapdog and hired guests. I could not believe Roy. Never heard that kind of bias from him before.

Love Roy as a boxer, but he was absolutely terrible as a commentator last night. Cheer leading for Bradley the whole way and pompously comparing his heart to his own courage in the ring. It was nice to see Bradley get dropped at the end and shut Roy up. He was imagining punches hurting Provodnikov "really bad" when they weren't doing all that much damage.

I've never been a fan of RJJ, either as a human being, boxer or an announcer, that's just the way it is, I almost always mute the sound when he's calling a fight on HBO.

Whats not to like ? He was an amazing fighter and is a nice man.

Shit commentator last night though.

Just never have cared for the dude, my favorite RJJ fights were the 1st Tarver fight and when he got destroyed by Glenn Johnson. As for his announcing, the first go round with HBO was the RJJ appreciation show, with Lampley and Merchant taking turns telling him how fucking great he was and sticking their nose up his, egotistical, game cock fighting, rapper ass.
Since he's come back to HBO the 2nd time, I just can't take the shit that dribbles out of his mouth, I feel pretty sure that he gave Bradley a blow job after the fight last night, the way he was hanging on his nuts. (Lampley too)

Hey, you asked @Hulk

I saw 2 KD's in the fight, but certainly not 3. I wouldn't give the second round 10-8 either as Bradley was fighting back and you don't give 10-8 rounds unless there is a knockdown or there is practically nothing coming back AND being hurt. Where do you draw the line? 10-8 Bradley round 3 as nothing was coming back from Provodnikov? No point in that, so I don't give 10-8's easily. So one KD and a few points margin Bradley or even with two and just a close fight with a puncher getting outworked in most of the rounds.

Bradley fought like a plank though and draw would have been a lesson well taught and a definite rematch. I thought Bradley won though and fair enough to those who disagree as the KD should have been scored and that final round was another 2 points banked. Two 10-8 rounds and some potential swing rounds does create questions regarding how you are scoring and appraising rounds.

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.
