[New England]

Oh, hell yeah.

His heart and chin are incredible.

His heart is the best part of his game.

i had no idea he was that tough. holy smokes.

Top Rank interview :

"He's the first guy that hurt me" Bradley got his brains scrambled and forgot that Holt dropped him hard.

the holt punch was more a flash. he wasnt really out on his feet the way he was tonite.

Everything aside, Bradley performed well.

He got hit, he got hurt, but he bit down and came straight back.

Guy is a warrior, I'm glad he won.

Great fight.

remember how harold gave vargas a 10-8 round without a knockdown? what happened harold! none in this fight when bradley was completely gone 3 times.

Bradley has never been an elite fighter in terms of skill. He gets by on heart, determination and testing your will to win.

Roy called this fight well until he said Ruslan could no longer hurt Bradley

It's obvious who Roy was for. Ruslan was gassed from round 3 or 4 on. Bradley wasn't hurting him at all aside from that really nice body shot. Ruslan hurt him badly throughout the fight. Roy seriously needs to stop fighting and stop commentating. He basically shows up to cheerlead for his fighters these days.

Who is going to want to fight Provo now?

I'm a very happy fan tonight. I knew this was gonna be a good scrap, but my goodness. I'm sure that this exceeded most fan's expectations. Bradley rebuilt his image and Provodnikov got his title shot and HBO exposure. Everybody won tonight.

We? Who's we? Who thought Bradley was good?



That's his own people boo'ing him.

I thought he was good, meaning a cut above most guys other than the elite. I mean, obviously the Pacquiao fight proved he wasn't elite. But I still figured he'd work over Provodnikov easily.

His stock should drop by a lot because of this. He went life-and-death and was out on his feet several times against an ESPN FNF Russian with poor defense.

IMO, both guys stock in the heart department went way up. But the guy who got the most benefit here is Provodnikov. He proved he's tough as hell and has a ****load of power, but Bradley's image as far as being a "skilled P4P fighter" went down drastically.

[DARKSEID]

Bradley gained my respect tonight.
