Povodnikov fought a ****** fight.

[-PBP-]

Except when he beat his ass in round 6 and arguably took round 10 as well

Key phrase.... "all but one".

i admit it was hardly an ass beating on either mans part it was razor close. if any man got thier ass kicked it was bradley. but you have to know how boxing fights are scored. anyone with eyes could see provodnikov was dropping most of the rounds. he might have won that in the actual "fight" sense of the word. if it was on the streets people would have scored it for provodnikov. but it didnt take place in the streets. he should of did something to alter the outcome of the "boxing match decision".

no


what he SHOULD have done was put some work to the body...that would have sapped Bradley's legs and given him a less mobile target...as it was, Bradley was able to move around and survive the rough parts


there's no doubt in my mind that it would have been a totally different fight had he done some body work

Exactly. He wins the fight possibly by stoppage if he committed more to the body.

Bradley's movement gave him serious problems. Good way to deal with a mover is to commit to the body.

No, bradley got his ass beat, im not sure how you can deny that.

Boxing is scored on a round system, and you can easily make a case for Ruslan winning 6 rounds; 1,2,6,10,11,12, and with a KD, it would give him a 1 point win

So no Bradley wasnt winning "most" of the rounds. He just won 6 of 7 round at one point, 3-5 and 7-9.

you want a freddie roach fighter to fight off the back foot?

[killamoneymike]

idn man, it was close, but i'd say after the first 2 round initial scare for bradley he got his **** together and won basically most of the rounds after that aside for a few in between. when you do the math though, especially considering they didnt give P-kov a 10-8 in the first, it adds up in bradleys favor.

The fight was very clear with who won what rounds. Ruslan 1,2,6,11 and 12 and Bradley won 3,4,5,7,8 and 9 clearly. I also gave him round 10. So with the KD in the 12th and no more KDs called, the fight was 114-113 for Bradley. Thats with the ref missing the first round KD. Thats as a close a fight can be without it being a draw

I don't think Ruslan knows how to fight any other way

[killamoneymike]

exactly, bradley won. he won on the points system but in actuality it was P-kov doing most of the bruising. just how boxing is scored, but like i said in the beggining, P-kov should have done something different although idn what if he is only a striaght foward type of fighter...he did a good job though if they would of scored the 1st round kd the fight would of been his.
