Bradley fought a stupid fight against Provo. He fought a smart fight against Marquez. I was surprised when Bradley walked in and traded with Provo for twelve rounds. Thought he would make the same mistake with Marquez but I was wrong.

So, given how close the Provodnikov and Marquez fights were, and how a 100% undisputed robbery the fight with Pacquiao was, Bradley could easily now have three defeats as opposed to his "undefeated champion" status, and NO BELT. Yet, as usual, the judges tend to favor the American fighter fighting at home.
Broner, Bradley, Mayweather, Quillin, Ward, Hopkins... (Did I miss anyone?)
... And there are four "alphabet" belts per weight division...
... So, what did you expect to happen with those above mentioned?

I thought Provodnikov beat Bradley so his reflection on Marquez vs Bradley was very humble indeed. If he beats Alvarado a rematch vs Bradley should happen. His style gave Bradley nightmares.

I think most can agree that the way the fight was officially called (even Prov) Bradley was the winner. The controversy comes from the 2 or 3 (i know it was def 2 at least) knockdowns that the referee missed. Had the first round KD been called and the one where Bradley was sitting on the ropes, Provodnikov would of almost certainly been the winner and new champion.
But they weren't called, Provodnikov realized there was nothing he could do about incompetent refereeing and he accepted defeat- like i said the way it was offically called, Bradley decision is fair IMO

Bradley won the Provodnikov fight clearly. At this point I have tremendous respect for him as a fighter, his skills, dedication, heart and especially his stamina. Bradley was still bouncing on his toes in the last round of that fight, after throwing a thousand punches and getting hit with more than a hundred hard and clean shots from a pure puncher like Provodnikov.
Hat off.
Was his fight against Marquez boring? Yes. It's not only his fault though, JMM is just a guy who likes to counter. Tim did the right thing, played smart, and reaped his reward.
I also understand that Provodnikov thought at first he had won the Bradley fight. He did a great job, and its very understandable that he thought he won before seeing the replay.
