Official: Bradley Vs Provodnikov & undercards Discussion and RbR thread

[samouraļ]

I got some tissues for you...........just got back from the hospital last night after seeing a family member dead.....this win is the highlight of my weekend - understatement of course.

You ain't got shizz on what I have been through in the last 2 days so I'm not gonna be amicable with you dudes till the end like Bradley fought to the end, that's real life, not some internet mess. Life is a struggle and warriors survive the struggle.....

Come on man, this is a forum. Don't make it all personal and weird. We're just talking about Bradley here. Fans are allowed to comment on the sport.

Bradley proved himself to be one tough mother****er at the same time he proved he's elite in very few other ways.

He may have showed heart and toughness, but he's never looked worse than he did tonight. I have no idea why that fight was so tough for him, he's beaten so much better fighters much easier.

He fought the wrong fight. Whats sad is rather than his stock going up because he was in a foty candidate it will go down.

Even when he wins he still loses. Two fights in a row now.

So true. Bradley is a great fighter with a huge heart, but he is mentally weak. The criticism over the Pac win took a huge toll on him. I remember how wound up he was from Holt's trash talk before their fight, and he came out fighting ****** and ultimately got put down hard early.

Bradley is many things but mentally weak isn't one of them.

He might be sloppy, and to tough for his own good, but he is not mentally weak.

A mentally weak fighter would have been stopped tonight.

Anyone know what Ruslan got paid for this fight?

[-PBP-]

Exactly.

Exactly what I see, and have been trying to say.

I see;

"Bradley has excpetional defense"

"Bradley has exceptional Ring IQ"

"Bradley is one of the most skilled fighters in Boxing"

I don't see it. And tonight just again confirmed my opinion.

People clearly don't watch as much boxing as they say they do.

Bradley always fights like this. He takes a shot, then comes back at you over and over again. He's never been this slick, technical boxer that people make him out to be. They obviously saw him for the first time when he fought Pacquiao.

Tim with another win..haters keep hating.......and keep bitching....Tim keeps winning...why? That's what winners do

Enough said. Tim is a warrior. But, now do you see where I'm coming from when you hate on Ward?

This is the type of fight that destroys a fighter's punch resistance. Bradley should probably avoid big punchers for awhile.

He's turning into the next LarryX and ****. Dunno why he telling me that stuff about his personal life. No one needs to know that nor that's connected in anyway with Bradley's fight tonight.

This is the internet No one gives a ****.

[Light_Speed]

Heart of a champion no brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sums it up.

World class win....are you still there trying to prove a point?

World class win? Ruslan is a ESPN level fighter.

Great fight. But Bradley really underperformed IMO. Bradley has beaten better fighters much easier. Other then the times Bradley was hurt, he totally dominated brutally. And I felt that the whole debacle from the Pacquiao fight ultimately had an adverse affect on Bradley.

Yeah I think he let the aftermath of the Pacquiao fight get to him so he got in the ring trying to make a statement. That almost cost him his title and his undefeated record.

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

He was out on his feet, literally. Until he hit the canvas and woke up.

he didn't remember a conversation he had with kellerman 30 seconds prior

the man was somewhere between conscious and out on his feet for 11 and a half rounds, with a mixture off full on out on his feet during portions of the first, second, sixth, and 12th. that's if my memory is right.

He looked like Juanma against Mtagwa, just fighting on heart alone. Those kinds of fights can ruin a fighter.
