I see it this way, a scoring punch is a scoring punch no matter how hard it landed. I don't score fights based off of intangibles. Scoring should be based off of who takes control of a fight and lands more. Damage can make a slight impact, but when you're out landing your opponent with a shut eye and making them miss then you're doing what champions are supposed to do. I thought it was very ignorant of Lampley to say something like, "it's difficult to score a round for a fighter with a busted eye." This is a sport and it's not like we're watching rockem sockem robots in action. Ruslan wasn't doing much after he shut Algerie's eye. He had a moment or two in the fight, but Algerie had the fight for the most part. When Bradley fought Ruslan he didn't beat him as convincingly even though I think that Bradley wasn't fighting the way he normally does. Yet ppl think Algerie lost cuz of his lack of punching power. Why even sign a fight if we know before the fight that the opponent has less power and we're going to hold them against it? Like I said I don't score based off of intangibles cuz it's not something an individual can control, but I do score on who is taking ring generalship cuz that IS something that a fighter can control. Ring generalship is turning a fight to your favor, and after round three the fight was never in Ruslan's favor. This is boxing....
No I'm just giving my opinion. That's what you're supposed to do on here. I think Provodnikov has a good case for beating Bradley in their fight. I thought Algieri clearly beat Provodnikov though.
I really hope Bradley and Prov rematch cause it will end the debate on who is a better boxer.
What will make you happy? You want them to change the results? You are debating what? I agree the ref made a mistake. You want the ref fired?

Not really. That's the point of debating and discussing sport. You don't have to accept or agree with everything. I'm sure there are many decisions which you don't agree with.

You dont need to follow it , you need to accept it.

:lol1:
I love when people say YOU'RE not very bright whilst spelling it incorrectly. Spaz.
I know the ref is in a position of power. That doesn't mean he can't be wrong. In this case, he was clearly wrong. I'm not going to just blindly follow what the ref called when I know he got it wrong.

Your not very bright are you. You dont care what the ref called? Yet you expect people to give a crap what you say. The ref is in a postion of power while your just some loser who spends way to much time debating about results that you cant change.

Bradley beat The Rock...Chris didn't!!...The Rock should still be the champ imo
as for the thread topic....I think Bradley beat him worse than he's ever been beaten....as far as I'm concerned, Bradley is the last guy to beat him.....still can't believe they took the belt from The Rock like that...smh
I actually read that. I feel pointless now.
Bradley didn't beat Provodnikov. Algieri did.

Reality was that Bradley was knocked down. Reality is calling something as it actually happened.
The reality was the ref called it a push .Wtf wrong with you? lol
Your trying to change history , sorry to have to be the one to break this to you but you dont have that type of power. The ref called it a push because it looked like one, when the ref realised his mistake it was to late. I call you a fanboy because you work in what ifs , while I deal with reality. When a fighter I like loses I make no excuses about refs, judges or anything thats out of the control of the fighters.

Did Algieri lose a TON of weight right before the Provo fight like Bradley did? I highly doubt it. If Tim were to rematch Ruslan, he would beat him to pieces.
Well yes it does.
Because I call a knockdown a knockdown makes me a fanboy? Of who? LOL...is that your go-to card when someone disagrees with you? Even when it makes no sense.

Im not gonna argue with a fanboy , it was ruled a push, it dosent matter if it was a knockdown.

He hurt and knocked him down. It was a 10-8 round. I don't keep a history of RBR scorecards I'm afraid, don't need to.

Yet Bradley deserved a 9 in round one where he was knocked down and flopped around like a fish on the canvas?
bradley always deserves 9 points! like in round 2 where bradley's entire body fell into the ropes. 9! or round 6 where his ass landed on the bottom rope holding him up. 9! even the ref agrees so how can it be wrong?
Rewatch the round, prov won it because he hurt Bradley but it still was competitive , your just a idiot. Still waiting for your scorecard.
