Bradley/Provodnikov Fight Report with over 130 Press/Fan Scores

it's a 10 point must system not a 10-9 must system. i don't see why a round where one guy barely wins it with little contact is the same as a round where one guy beats another to a pulp and basically unconscious on his feet.

Wait what? It's a 12 round fight. If you throw the kitchen sink at a guy for 2 rounds and then are too gassed to keep up the pressure that's your own fault.

On paper, yes. But if Bradley knew he was down a point he probably wouldn't have taken as many chances, especially in the 12th round.

So who knows what would have happened if Ruslan was awarded a knockdown?

i don't think bradley knew where he was for many parts of that fight tbh...

There were knockdowns in rounds 1, 6, and 12; only one was called. Rounds 1 and 6 should have been 10-8 rounds. W/o any 10-8 rounds the fight is 114-113 Bradley.

true..bradley landed on the ropes after eating a strong left hook in the 6th round..arguably you could call this a knockdown as well. bradley really benefited from some missed calls...it's fights like this where reffing becomes a extremely crucial factor in determining the winner. fortunately for bradley they had an incompetent ref that night.

Thats not the point he's making. He's saying, why does a rounds where you kick a guys ass count the same as a round where the other barely wins a round by dancing around. Yea thats the way the boxing system works but, if you think about it, it doesnt really make sense

Just look at the fight this sat. It was very easy to score, Ruslan clearly won 1,2,6,11 and 12. In this rounds (and just about every round), he had Bradley on ***** street over and over and was landing bombs, doing so much damage. The way the fight went, he won 114-113. But the rounds which Ruslan clearly won had him doing waaaaay more damage then Bradley did in rounds he won, yet they counted exactly the same

bradley was connecting alot of pitter pact combos on the 2nd half.

shouldve been a draw in my opinion.

Bradley isn't a big puncher so of course if he engages in exchanges with a heavy handed fighter he's not going to do as much damage.

He was just as dominant in the rounds he won by landing scoring blows and fighting his fight. Round 3 was a dominant round for Bradley where Ruslan only landed 2 punches. In rounds 1 and 2, Bradley was still throwing and landing and had his moments. That's why they weren't scored 10-8.

I had it 8-4 Bradley. And even if I would give Provodnikov the "knock down" in round 1 plus the legit KD in round 12, he still loses 114-112.

Thanks for all the comments guys, there should be a rematch as its easy to make, TV will want it and this time more fans will turn up

thats where i like to see a ******* scorecard.

bradley was out on his feet on numerous occasions. i don't see why judges aren't more ******* with their use of a 10 - 8 round.


a flash knockdown should not count for more than a comprehensive beating for several minutes, that leads to a fighter being out on his feet.



you could easily score the first and second rounds 10-8 in that fight. bradley wasn't ruled to be down officially in the first, but he went back down after regaining his feet. that was the effect of ruslan's punches that effected his balance. that's a knockdown. the ref has to call that. if he misses it, a judge should be allowed to make the correct judgement on his card.


in the second round bradley was all but unconscious, and kept up by the ropes again in the final 20 seconds. its a less clear cut 10-8, IMO, but it could easily be scored that way, given that bradley was so badly hurt at the end of the round, and then kept up by the ropes.



amazing fight. the people in the arena who were booing are animals.

I also think that 10-10 rounds should be given out more often.

There are too many rounds that both guys dont do anything very impressive yet we are forced to pick who we think won it, usually it sways the fights to.

[ADP02]

He was aware enough to adjust and outbox the guy for 7 out of the next 8 rounds.

Bradley asked his corner if he was winning the fight. It was also his corner that told him to stop brawling and move. Not saying that Bradley would not have done it on his own but his corner was on him all night long.
