Marquez did better vs. Bradley than Provodnikov, numbers don't lie

Quote: "Ruslan facing Timothy Bradley again is another great fight for us and we're definitely open to that fight. More importantly, it would be a rematch that people would want to see much more than a rematch between Marquez and Bradley which was clearly a one sided fight," Kornilov told BoxingScene.com." Note: Vadim Kornilov is Ruslan Provodnikov's manager. A one-sided fight? Here are the numbers from Compubox Bradley-Marquez final numbers: (landed/thrown = percentage of accuracy) Jabs Bradley: 82/337 = 24.33% Marquez: 38/169 = 22.48% Power punches Bradley: 86/225 = 38.22% Marquez: 115/286 = 40.20% Totals: Jabs + Power Punches Bradley: 168/562 = 29.89% Marquez: 153/455 = 33.62% Bradley-Provodnikov final numbers: (landed/thrown = percentage of accuracy) Jabs Bradley: 129/489 = 26.38% Provodnikov: 32/162 = 19.75% Power punches Bradley: 218/511 = 42.66% Provodnikov: 186/514 = 36.18% Totals: Jabs + Power Punches Bradley: 347/1000 = 34.70% Provodnikov: 218/676 = 32.24% So there you go. Bradley-Marquez was a closer fight than Bradley-Provodnikov. It was a boring fight, because Bradley made it so, by running and avoiding trading with Marquez all night. Bradley outdid Provodnikov in every single statistic. Bradley ONLY outdid Marquez in jabs and total punches landed (by just very little BTW). In everything else, he came short. Bradley was willing to trade with Provodnikov almost all night (he threw 1000 punches to Ruslan!), whereas he threw only about half the punches vs. Marquez (only 562 punches), because obviously he feared a knock-out from Marquez, Pacman-go-to-sleep style. Provodnikov knocked Bradley down 3-4 times simply because Bradley was willing to trade with him all night, but Bradley was obviously scared of a Marquez' big colossal right counter, that's why there wasn't any knock-downs. Just clearing up things here, that's all. That Kornilov guy is either a liar or an ignorant, because he is clearly mistaken about who did better vs. Bradley.

Can the mods please make a rule where people with less than 100 posts can't start threads. They are always either complete retards or alt/troll accounts or both.

Lol, no... Bradley was out on his feet against Provodnikov and was throwing windmill punches to keep Provodnikov off him. You also missed the part where Bradley was beaten to take a knee (Bradknee jokes anyone?) lol.

Bradley vs Marquez was a lot closer than what hbo was letting on. I've watched it several times since Marquez definitely figured some stuff out later on in that fight and was getting the better of Bradley. He definitely landed the more meaningful power punches and I feel like the broadcast team was ignoring Marquez work to the body. If you guys have free time I would advise you to go back and watch the fight. Diaz even told Bradley late in the fight that it was real close. I definitely wouldn't mind a rematch because something big will happen I don't think Marquez will depend on the judges. But I think that Manny gets this fight next.

Provodnikov has made Bradley punchdrunk.Marquez never landed a meaningful punch and was breakdancing in the 12th.

He don't want to keep this feeling, not this feeling. Yes to other feeling but this no no. Marquez want a rematch, Marquez get rematch. If win, keep feeling yes. No rematch after. Marquez want to keep this feeling. :rofl: Uncanny impersonation of Whine.

Bradley almost died lol wtf are you talking about? Marquez hardly did anything. A rematch for both are pointless though. Bradley won't be dumb and trade with Ruslan again and he'll out box him just like he'd outbox Marquez. A better fight is Ruslan vs Marquez. This exactly what I'm talking about the stupidity on this board. If Marquez barely landed then Bradley barely landed too dude he landed just 10 more punches and the majority of his punches were fuking jabs!!!!! Jabs!!!!! He thru 300 plus jabs and landed 82!!! Oh yeah he was so accurate throwing meaningless pawing jab nonsense stinking up the joint.

Being hurt multiple times, Bradley actually beat the **** out of Prov pretty badly. He landed so many combos.

JMM schooled Bradley and actually if you watch the 7th round closely he KOs Timmy but the ref was paid off by arum and let it continue. JMM has never officially lost a fight. Im sorry but Marquez got schooled in round 7

Fights are judged by individual rounds, not total punch stats. Marquez-Bradley was close I guess, and I only watched it live but I thought Timmy won clearly. Bradley deserves the decision versus Prpvodnikv the way the fight was officiated, but with a competent referee, Provodnikov would of gotten the W because he only lost by like 1-2 points on each card and there were 2 legitimate knockdowns that were missed, that if called right would of gave Prov the victory. Bradley-Provodnikov was way closer, IMO
