never been impressed with Bradley but he has some heart.


**edit** I cant remember ever seeing someone fight as a brawler who was incapable of knocking opponents out. Bradley fights the wring fight for his skill set

Juan Diaz? But yeah I agree as far as Bradley goes. They're saying Marquez wants a title shot at 147 now, no Manny rematch. If that's true, and he fights Bradley, he's gonna dismantle that man.

my dude was tired man, he is used to putting people away after giving them that, i feel like roach should have told him to throw more body shots.



View media item 317620 ref messed up a few times and this too should have been a knock down

Yeah he was head hunting a bit much. He probably should've thrown a few uppercuts if that were the case, it mightve done the trick.
 
Bradley has heart indeed BUT...

Provodnikov moved up in weight and was able to hurt him like that?

If this dude steps in the ring with JMM or Rios...HE IS FOOD, period.

Definitely Juan Diaz. he totally slipped my mind. good call

and yes, Bradley on the ropes was a knockdown too. I tweeted that **** soon as it happened.

that was a joke.


and rewatching it, Freddie Roach made me even more mad. why is he telling Prov that hes taking too many punches and he may stop it...

Every shot He landed on Bradley was like a ryu upper cut, took half his life meter lol.

Jesusssss both corners were Horrible. Joel Diaz telling Bradley he might stop it was basically sending bradley out there to brawl even more. My god.
 
in his defense he did clarify what he meant when max asked him about it , im sure

he meant "imma stop it if you keep brawling" he said he wanted bradley to keep boxing him

I think you got Joel wrong personally. He didn't want him brawling in there at all. He wanted Bradley to outbox Provodnikov like he did 3-5, 7-9. When Bradley would open himself up and not defend himself, Joel got pissed because Provodnikov was killing him. I did think that Roach did a poor job tonight though.

I still think Bradley won, but only because of the missed knockdowns. I wasn't doing a personal scorecard, but that second round was a 10-8 if I've ever seen one.

It's a shame because Bradley was the perfect opponent for Provodnikov. Bradley is always willing to open himself up, and Prov has enough power to really hurt him. If Provodnikov were in there with a better boxer I wouldn't feel too comfortable with him. He's a tad too slow, but he has a rock of a chin.

Great fight out of both guys though. It was an amazing brawl. A lot of refs would have stopped that several times. Bradley was out on his feet at least three times in that fight with the ropes supporting him. Good lord.
 
Bruh. I know it's boxing, and looks don't matter, but Provodnikov looks like a goddamn cyborg. He does not look like he is the same SPECIES as us bipedal folks in the world. It tripped me out especially early in the fight when Prov would stick out his tongue, I felt like Bradley was being mocked by a robot. :lol: :lol:

Just saw the fight and IMO Bradley lost that fight.. He got tagged with viscous shots the whole fight and like some of you mention the non KO's were really bad calls. This is the type of fight that will take years off of Bradley's career.. Provodnikov should fight one time Keith Thurman that would be viscous lol

That type of fight was the type of fight that got 15 rounds of boxing reduced to 12

That was a beast fight Bradley was willing to die. Wow major props to both fighters. Bradley redeem himself round 6 was epic. I want to see Provodnikov vs Khan just for the lols. GBP will never do that career suicide for Khan :lol:
 
Jessie Varges is trash.

i will never for the life of me understand why boxers that can out box someone always want to brawl and bradley is one of those guys, not one single shot he threw hurt Provodnikov last night.

just listen to roach last night and tell me he is not losing his touch?

funny thing is this fight is proably going to get bradley some bigger pay days
 
Bradley is going to get himself seriously hurt one of these days. He don't have the punching power, but has the heart of a lion.

I was getting real spooked watching him in those early rounds man. I felt like he was going to transform into a T-Rex and eat Timothy Bradley.

I'm still not sure that didn't happen.

Neither one of them are human. I mean look at Bradley's head and body.
 
I went ahead and watched the fight again just now.

10-9 Provodnikov
10-8 Provodnikov
9-10 Bradley
9-10 Bradley
9-10 Bradley
10-9 Provodnikov
9-10 Bradley
9-10 Bradley
9-10 Bradley
9-10 Bradley
10-9 Provodnikov
10-8 Provodnikov

113-113

Notes: Prov took over late in the first round, and if you call it a knockdown, it's 10-8, but since the ref didn't, he didn't hurt him enough or long enough for me to give him a 10-8. But he did in round two. It was bad enough that I wouldn't have been mad by a stoppage. The ropes held Bradley up, but it was a 10-8 round regardless.

3-5, Bradley dominates. Prov gets a few nice shots in, but no way Bradley doesn't sweep those rounds on each card, and the body work on Provodnikov in the fifth hurt him, just not enough for a 10-8, or a knockdown.

I want to see other angles from the sixth round. I don't think he was as hurt as he was in the twelfth and second round, and Bradley dominated the first 2:30 of that round, but I think Prov stole it. It was really close IMO, because unlike the second and twelfth, Bradley still threw some nice shots late in that round, even though he wasn't there with his feet nor head. No way I rule that a 10-8 though. The shot that started the flurry didn't hurt Bradley enough, he went down to duck, but got hit simultaneously. He didn't get hit and bend down, and I can't call that 10-8.

Bradley rebounded in the seventh, and although he got caught with a couple good shots, he controlled the round and won the round with good jabs, and keeping his distance, while still creating good body shots to Prov. More of the same in the eighth although Bradley danced and ran a little more, but Prov didn't create anything for himself in the eighth.

The ninth was the best round for Bradley. He did great work from beginning to end, and if Prov wasn't throwing back, it might've been close to a 10-8. He was shook quite a few times in that round, but kept hitting Bradley. Bradley hit him with some haymakers though, and I was impressed with Bradley in the round.

Bradley did enough work in the tenth to win the round again. He'd pick his shots and get out of the ways he was probably his sharpest in that round. His defense was solid, and he had his best round of boxing. Last time late in the fight that Bradley looked really sharp.

The 11th was tough for me to call, but I think Bradley lost steam in that round. He still was hitting Provodnikov, but not enough, and Bradley was hurt for the first time late in the fight. There was so many punches thrown and landed by both guys, but I think Provodnikov hurt him more.

The twelfth speaks for itself. That was Sergio-JCC jr. Round 12 all over again. Provodnikov put it all out there and he cleaned Bradley.

Last night I wasn't doing round-tallies because I thought there was no way it was going the distance. Afterwards, I figured that Bradley had done enough work in the middle rounds to win the fight.

If you want to go ahead and call the first round a knockdown, I'd have Provodnikov winning by a point. It was an awkward knockdown if it was one. It's obvious that Bradley was hurt in the first, but I don't think he was hurt to the point of if he didn't slip/get knocked-down, that it was a 10-8 round.

The first six rounds for me are really easy to call. 10-8 easy for Provodnikov in the second, 10-9 in the first for him, and then Bradley sweeps 3-5, but gives up the sixth late. Seven through ten weren't terribly hard to judge either, I thought.

Watching it a second time, it was closer than I thought. Two judges had it 114-113. That's a point difference from me, and I think it came on that second round, but I'm sorry, that's a 10-8 round for Provodnikov. Bradley did nothing that round, and he was as hurt as he was the entire fight, in that round. The ref could've stopped it, and that's enough for me to call it 10-8. Does anyone have the scorecards from last night?

Man, I can't see how NO ONE gave Provodnikov a 10-8 in that second round. He was borderline murdering the guy int he ring, and he had no kind of offense in that round. It wouldn't have changed the outcome, Bradley still would have won, but it would've had a draw on two of hte cards.

The 11th was the closest round to me, but I felt like Provodnikov pulled that round out.
