Comments Thread For: Roach Upset: Ruslan Should've Had Three 10-8 Rounds

[White_Knight]

I think the fight could have gone 115-112 in either fighter's favour or anything in between.

Bradley was hurt in the first round but it took 5 seconds and a push down. He didn't just went down cause he was hurt. Even when he was badly hurt he kept on punching. He was getting hit alot and hurt but he fought the whole round

What push down, he was holding on.

[loui_ludwig]

Freddie has a reason that there should be 2 more 10-8 rounds.

LMAO..people who couldn't stand Bradley in here making excuses for him simply because they don't like Roach even more. Pushed down? lmao..had Ruslan pushed him down Bradley wouldn't have made it up..the kid did a summersault backwards on the ring mat and got up doing the harlem shake..everyone including Bradley supporters I watched this with wanted the fight stopped in the first round..he's lucky as hell it wasn't stopped and so are we because we saw a great 12 round fight but considering he got a pass in the first round and then was again viciously hurt in the second this fight should've been stopped and with a better ref it would've been stopped. To anyone saying bradley was fighting back..well go and rewatch the fighting back he was doing while damaged those can't even be considered punches. I do credit Bradley tho with survivig those first two rounds and fighting his way back into the fight but i'm not convinced he won the fight outright. He won on paper but he lost plenty in that ring last night.

kind of reminded me of juanma when he gets hurt badly he's just flailing his arms around but clearly you can see on his face that he doesn't even know where he is at.....

look at it this way, if the fight was truly suppose to be stopped, then he would have eventually gotten KO'ed, but he didn't, those punches that he did throw while hurt, it was a way to trick the judges and the ref into thinking that he was defending himself, which he really was, if he covered up, he prolly would have gotten stopped

Bradley boxed beautifully for most of the fight, that's y he won...when he boxed, he boxed beautifully and he CLEARLY won the rounds he won...provodnikov's argument that Bradley's punches didn't hurt doesn't hold merit cuz Bradley landed his fair share of punches

give Bradley credit for the win

There were definitely 2 knock downs. The 2nd round could have been called 10-8 but its a judgement call.

For those of you saying that the fighter needs to be down for the round to be 10-8 is incorrect. At times the ref stops the fight while the fighter is still on his feet. Should the ref not stop the fight because the fighter should get credit for staying up on his feet?

Bradley was out on his feet on a few occasions. Bradley was also being held up by the ropes on at least one of those occasions.

Bradley looks similar to Berbick when he tried to get back up against Tyson.

Awesome ****. Im stealing this.

No 10-8 round in the second. 10-8 rounds are only scored when one fighter is knocked down or dominated the entire round. Some of you don't know how to score a fight. With this logic, Bradley should have had a 10-8 round in the third when Ruslan took the round off by not punching.

This is a KD whether you like it or not. Bradley can't even get up.

I had the fight 116-111 Bradley. Had no problem with the judges cards tho. Also wouldn't argue with anybody having the fight for Ruslan. The difference for me at least was Bradley was busier and landed more. Ruslan would beat the hell out of him for final 30 seconds of rounds but Tim wouldn't fall. The 12th was the only round I scored 10-8. Tim was out on his feet in the 2nd. No punch landed in the 1st when Tim went down. Good fight. Hope we get Bradley Marquez next.

yeah not at that second but he was still stumbling from being rocked and couldn't keep his balance. so was hatton's knockdown of castillo not a knockdown because no punch landed at that very second?
