ESPN Polls, Provodnikov wins the fight!!

The judges are sitting around the ring in different areas for a reason. From different angles you get a different view. Its a whole different fight from their perspective. That is also the purpose of the 3 judges not sitting beside each other. Too many things are happening in that ring to try and judge it from 1 angle. So it is irrelevant what a poll suggests. Its just the opinion of fans who are watching from 1 view and are not trained to judge a real fight. We only judge it from an entertainment point of view, but judges are trained to notice the actual technical side of the fight and the points that are being scored that us viewers don't notice. I think the decision was a good one or it could have been a draw if the sport had replay. But because the ref was standing at an ANGLE where he did not see the right hand land on Bradley, he ruled it a slip. So that was the official call. We as fans only see a certain ANGLE, so its a lot that we miss as well. the judges see the fight from only one angle. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Wait for the poll on that!! Polls are not a better gauge than judges. A lot of crybaby pacquiao fans could've influenced that poll. Without giving Prov an additional 10-8 round it be very hard to score in his favor. Even if you did give him another 10-8 it would've been a draw so no Prov did not win the fight. good thing the judges scored Chavez Whitaker a draw. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

The polls were incredibly close.

The press row scoring had Bradley winning by a vast majority, why the discrepancy?

I'll take the polls than your opinion! lol you realize half them people probably don't know how to score a fight and voted for him just because they seen bradley down. And the only people who would waste their time voting are people who didn't like the decision or people just bored lol

It clearly shouldn't have been stopped because Bradely made it to the 12th round and ****ed prod up, winning the majority of the fight. Bradley was more out than Alvarado vs Rios and that fight was stopped. Alvarado was up on his feet supporting his own self. Bradley was out with the ropes supporting him.

It seems like some are disappointed that the fight wasn't stopped in the first. I guess if I was Ruslan, I would be mad. But as a fan, the referee did a favor and gave Bradley a chance. That chance turned into a fantastic bout. Or did he? Bradley took a major beating and last night he said he was still concussed. I guess we'll see what happens in a couple of more fights.

deal with it...the most ruslan would have gotten is a draw. lack of doing more in the middle rounds cost him, refs mishap cost him a draw or stoppage win. but could've should've would've lets move on both fighters did great

Provodnikov 39% Bradley 34% Draw 27% Boxing people said it!! Ruslan was robbed!! are you retarded? considering those scores its rather a confirmation that it could have went either way, just 5% more ppl thought ruslan won than bradley. anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that fight was too close to be called a robbery. also i wouldnt call random ppl who vote on espn boxing ppl. LOL

Since the ref didn't stop it the way you see it, Provodnikov should have finished Tim off, right??? A ref jumps in so that the fighter doesn't take a brutal KO. So why didn't Ruslan brutally KO Tim if you feel the ref should have stopped it??? When a fighter is dropped and struggles to get up it should be stopped. Go watch Thompson vs Price.

Provodnikov disappeared from rounds 4-9 That's fine but if you score the proper 10-8 rounds then give him 10 11 and 12 he wins the fight. Anyway we know who the real champ is. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Real life, Bradley won, it's in the books now. Why didn't they interview Ruslan last night then if he "won" the fight? Espn probably thought that Ruslan's battered face might scare people into changing the channel.

I felt Ruslan did more damage, but due to scoring, I had Bradley winning the fight.... Bull**** that if you win the fight you don't win the match, but in this case it's true.

I think Tim barely won but he got his butt whooped! Yes tim did get his butt whooped. But it was 2 butt whippings that night. Those 2 cuts and Ruslan's swollen face shows he took a butt whipping as well.

Provodnikov disappeared from rounds 4-9

Interesting thread title considering 61% of the poll didnt have Provodnikov winning.
