great fights...

i think most of ruslan's success was due to timmy trying to put on a show rather than effeciency of provodniov's strategy and skills... timmy put himself in harms way to please than fans , nothing but respect for that...good showing by ruslan too tho...

Bro sorry but i disagree with you. Let's give both fighters the credit they deserve. Dont take anything away from the Russian by saying Bradley pusposely allowed him to come in and attack him. Go back and see the fight again. This guy brought the fight to Bradley. And I honestly feel Bradley had to go in there and exchange punches to win the fight as well. Sometimes you have to go in there and throw punches especially with someone like the russian guy who kept coming after him all night. Not to say Bradley didnt have heart and skills, but dont make it seem like Bradley could have done a better job, and that he basically was willing to risk his belt for the fans. When a fighter is in there, they are giving it there best. And how do you know Bradley could have made it an easier fight? Did he tell you that personally. He didnt even make excuses, and you're making them for him. Just like when Mayweather tried saying he decided to get hit my Cotto so many times on purpose to please the fans. MAN PLEASE!! lol

I guess fighting Pacquiao still does boost your numbers even if people hate you because of it.

imagine the numbers if people knew what kind of fight itd be before hand

i see what you mean and im not trying to discredit ruslan..it's just my opnion that on bradley's best night , he could've beaten ruslan with the least amount of struggle...

Wow even Bradley does better numbers than Donaire!

People claim only the P4P stars only sell, and boxing is dead...

Great news. That fight was great. Glad it got the coverage it deserved.

[WESS]

They should put the rematch on PPV.

If Bob decides to make the rematch, I'm sure he will.

However, I think Bradley will try and get the Pac rematch or a JMM fight.

Either way I think Bradley's next fight is PPV.

This is great for boxing! I hate it when I ****ty PPV gets a lot of viewers while a FOTY candidate goes unnoticed.
