So if Bradley Provodnikov wasn't scored on a boxing point system who would you have as the winner of the fight?
If I was judging by points, I would give it to Bradley.
If I was judging by the overall fight of who was hurt and landed the better shots, I would have Provodnikov as the winner by a long shot.
What do you guys think?
Ruslan's face was destroyed for at least a month after the fight
Yes it was,but Ruslan is like Gatti. The guy cuts and bruises really easy.
I thought Bradley,but he sorta got his ass kicked.
Provo beat Bradley up...doesn't mean he won,but he took a lot more outta Tim than Tim took outta him.
I think Bradley won...It was close...I wouldn't complain if Ruslan had gotten the decision.

Judging by the overall fight Prov's face was pretty ****ed up too. Bradley was hurt at least three times yet still outboxed Prov for 70% of the fight. That's what makes boxing special. Even with the other kd I had Bradley winning the fight. A draw would have been perfectly fine also. It is what it is. Unlike the Pac fight him winning is not controversial at all.
Either way I would take Bradley. Of course Provo had the knockdown, but I would say Provo took a bigger beating than Bradley. His face was a swollen mess and remember Roach was thinking about calling the fight off.
I have to remind people that the ref FAILED to rule a knockdown in round 1, which had Bradley doing a drunken backwards somersault. If the ref CORRECTLY ruled that a KD, the fight is a draw. Bradley won by an error.
There was another round where Bradley was held up by the ropes. He was literally on the bottom rope. Mightve been the 7th round or so.

So you're saying use the old Pride rules of judge fights on their entirety.
Then Provodnikov did the more damage both were messed up but who would you rather of been Bradley was concussed while Provodnikov was busted up facial.
I scored it a KO1 for Provodnikov as he had Bradley flopping all over the canvas from a shot which was criminally ruled a slip despite Bradley doing his best Zab Judah v Kostya Tsyzu impression, after Provodnikov had landed.
