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

[imp]

Watching the fight again i had bradley winning 8-4

7-5 if im being generous.

Bradley is a true warrior who when he was boxing won easy.

Can bradley win the peoples heart with this gutsy performance?

The thing is though, a better boxer with decent power will beat bradley.

Provodnikov deserves a rematch.

Great fight.

That was a poor performance by Bradley, he hand-picked an opponent to look good against and failed. Bradley is a B level champion like Paulie. He is not up there with JMM and Floyd or even Manny.

That's just false, my man. His resume is as good as any resume at or around that weight.

The thing is mentally bradley knew it was the last round so he took the best decision in taking the knee.

If he didnt, he would have been knocked out.

Bradley proved yet again he can mix it up when it gets tough even though hes not the hardest puncher.

I wonder if people would still hate on him if he fights mayweather and ko him in the 6th round..wow..what a story that would be.

I am a Bradley fan but the reality is that he should have won that far easily than it tuned out to be. Bradley certainly showed heart but he has done that when knocked down and hurt by better fighters at the lower weight. Bradley cannot mix it at welterweight with the best fighters. He will try and lose and possibly go back down a division.

Bradley wanted to prove he fight.
Bradley wanted to prove he can punch.
I dont think he can punch that hard but he can mix it up a bit..he had his opponent hurt a few times.

Bradley could have boxed from get go but he ignored his trainer as something in him wanted to let the fans know and put that terrible feedback after the pac fight behind him and go an possibly get a ko.

In closing, bradley has shown me he has the heart of a lion that can wear his opponents down with his persisting pitty patty punches.

Can he beat a 40 yr old marquez.?
Yes..yes he can.

Yup, and controversy is that if you counted 10-8 rounds in the beginning of the fight, with a 7-5 rounds score, the fight could have been declared a draw.
