he's aggressive, but other than that, nothing like Bradley, they should get someone like Hank Lundy..

But then Lundy is not as wild as Bradley. Plus chances are Lundy will be down every 3 punches so whats the point of sparring someone just wasting time waiting for him to get up.

Why?............

Provodnikov has more offence and more power than bradley! By fightnight, Pac will just laugh at Bradley's power!

Bradley's power was never going to decide this anyway.

He can get anyone who hits harder. Khan for starters.

Why the Russian? Tim fights nothing like Prov.

it doesn't matter if he fights like Bradley cuz Pac will control the pace of the fight and will impose his will on Bradley.

This is just fine tuning for Pac

Gamboa has similar movements, he can be a good sparring

Good job team Pacman. Get yourself a 1 dimensional fighter to try & mimic Bradley.

No fighter ever fights exactly like another fighter....the idea is to get Pac used to a fighter who comes in head first, like Bradley....something some of you guys should have picked up on. And Pac isn't going to use just one sparring partner anyway.
