Can I say that the fight at the weekend was no doubt the best fight I think I have seen this year. Bradley has taken a lot of criticism in his career and I can understand at times why, especially with what happened with the Pacquiao fight. Moving on from that now, I thought Bradley wanted to prove something by trading blows and no doubt that was really exciting to watch. I think Bradley needs to be commended on how badly he did get rocked and he still got up and boxed well and did enough to just about win.
Has Bradley won any fans with that performance? I think he should because he could have just boxed to a decision and made it easier for himself, but he wanted to get him out of there so he traded with Provodnikov, although that wasn't a wise move, it did make a great fight for the fans. Bradley has acknowledged what he did wrong and if they ever fight again, Bradley would win a wider points decision because for a lot of the fight Bradley was in control and he was boxing well. Considering how much punishment he did take early on, Bradley really did well to take control of the fight and I congratulate him for that he showed true spirit staying on his feet, although he was badly hurt.
What's next for Bradley? He needs to stay out of the wars if he wants to further his career, Marquez seems interested in a Bradley fight, how do you think he will step up against him?
