I think Provodnikov beat Bradley decisively. I have watched a lot of boxing, a lot, and I am always amazed when I hear people say things like, "yeah, he may have gotten clocked several times in the fight but he still won the fight on points" which is exactly the argument Bradley fans made.
You always have to ask yourself after a fight who would you rather be. That will tell you who won the fight. Clearly, Bradley was much more damaged than Provodnikov. Bradley was out on his feet several times in the bout, fighting solely on grit and instincts, to his credit, but he did not win the fight. There were a few rounds that Provodnikov took off and Bradley won by default but Bradley did not win this fight. Not even close.
Now, Provodnikov has what is rightfully his, a world title belt. He should also be wearing the one Bradly has around his.
