Comments Thread For: Team Provodnikov Explain Protest of Tim Bradley Fight

[way2strong]

Im a bradley fan that fight could have been stopped in the first when he was knocked down and stumbled over when he attempted to stand but since it wasn't oh well he was outboxed and he should get over it

The third could be argued as a 10-8 for Bradley. Ruslan landed TWO PUNCHES. There was another round where Bradley landed 48 and Ruslan landed 11. Sounds like a 10-8 to me. Also, the ropes can't keep someone up lol that has never been the case. If they were gonna go down, aint no rapoes gonna save 'em. The ropes are just there to keep them from falling out of the ring lol

should've been a first round KO win for Prov...Calling it a slip is just ******.

I find it wrong, very wrong.

It was a great bout, not stylistically, not technically, but memorable for the display of heart and will to win both fighters gave. It shouldn't be stained by useless protests and recriminations.

Both guys showed their limits and their greatness alike.

Bradley, the boring runner, as many people use(d) to call him, survived by pure strenght of will, yet showed us that he cannot go there toe to toe and trade. Not enough power, and in my opinion is defensive style doesn't work in long exchanges.

Provodnikov showed great power, determination to fight till the end. Even though he got outboxed for most of the mid-rounds, and looked as gassed as Bradley looked weak on his legs, he almost knocked out his opponent in the 12th. That said, he showed his limits as well. He couldn't cut off the ring, couldn't deal with Bradley's jab, even if it wasn't at its best. Couldn't finish a obviously hurt guy.

I think we should focus on the positive aspects of this fight, it's something you don't get to see everyday, and forget about recriminations, K.D's and 10-8 rounds.

Hey how about that 3rd round when you threw 15 punches and landed 2.

the fight should of been stopped in the first round it was clearly a knockdown and when he got back up he fell over again which means it should of been a 1st round ko,the second round was a 10-8 also and could of been stopped bradley got a big heart but the only reason he wasnt put to sleep is because provodnikov has the worst stamina in boxing if bradley fights rios or marquez next he will get knocked out early because they know how to finish fights when their oppenent is badly hurt.

Dont make excuses when Marquez loses.

Ruslan's team should seek solid top opponents for next fight instead of it, his team is doing this ****** thing. Ruslan might start losing new fans

Ruslan will have problem finding a top fighter willing to fight him after this bout, Bradley however will have several fighters willing to fight him now..

[Xyei]

How about an immediate rematch? Who the fuck wouldn't want to see this fight again?
