provodnikov forced the action and made bradley fight that way!

You see? This is the shit I hate- take no offence. People are beginning to BELIEVE, legitimately, that Bradley won that fight. Prov whipped Bradley's ass from the start of the bell in round one right to the end of round 12, LITERALLY.

What next?!?! Trinidad DID beat Oscar DLH? That Bradley DID beat Manny Pacquioa?? Boxing can make me sick to my stomach at times, really!!!
I think I had four rounds in that one 10-8 for Provo, including the clearly blown "slip" call. He was in that bad of shape. Provo forced the fight and I honestly believe if Bradley attempted to fight like he did Marquez that Provo would have walked through him and got the stoppage. Bradley was getting hurt regardless of being on the backfoot and he was forced into the exchanges to survive. He wasn't bringing a lot of firepower behind the jabs on Marquez and Provo would not sit in the pocket waiting for counters and matching jabs. Styles, styles. I like Tim, but I think Provo gets him if they rematch. As mentioned a Matthysse, Rios fight would be explosive! Be interesting to see if he stays 140 or goes for mass fight at 147
