great fight overall, first knockdown shouldve been counted, that would've made it a draw on my card. i had bradley 114 ruslan 113

I had it the same, though i dont think it was a knockdown. He stumbled. The left hook didnt even land properly. What a fight. Bradley boxed beautifully at times, Ruslan was relentless and came on like a freight train the last two rounds. Imagine him and Rios!

No question that Bradley won the fight. Granted, it was a close fight with Ruslan landing the harder punches, but Bradley was more active and he landed the "most" punches. Had Ruslan picked up his activity to match Bradley's, he might have pulled off the win. He did well for himself though, no one can argue that he was beat easily, but they both did damage to each other, Ruslan was just the harder and stronger fighter. He should also learn how to invest in the body. Had he thrown more body shots in the fight, he probably would have stopped Bradley.

Bradley left his game plan to shut up the critics and I think he did what a fight foty in my book

he was stumbling from the big right hand ruslan landed moments earlier and he never regained his balance and went down. knockdown.

I think it was Kellerman who said "I put myself in there and imagine who would I rather be, (to decide who wins rounds/fights)". Who's shoes would you have rather been in at the end of the fight?

The guy that gets his hand raised as the winner.

The guy that gets his hand raised as the winner.

Kind of a lame way to decide but whatever (maybe your a masochist) . Abraham vs Dirrell, Dirrell had his hand raised at the end, he was never the same after that fight though. I hope Bradley has no permanent damage but it seemed like he had a major concussion.

Hey the fight could have gone either way. Bradley showed he could fight a dog fight, and it almost cost him the fight, Provodnikov hit him with bombs that hurt him badly. I thought he was going to get stop early. But Bradley showed heart and boxed great to servive, and that's why I give it to Bradley, ain't easy to do that againt a guy like Provodnikov thats strong and relentless in the ring. great fight!!

Not true because the slick black boxer chose not to fight slick. Had Bradley fought this guy the way he normally does, it would have been a shut out and anyone with any knowledge of boxing knows that.
