Comments Thread For: Another Tim Bradley Fight, Another Very Close Decision

I think this fight is going to be fight of the year. Hard to see a fight topping that one, but then again Rios-Alvarado 2 might make me change my mind this weekend.

Most Americans (led by the ex-con B Hop) always talk about how Americans fighters get robbed when they go overseas.
Those that feel the same way on this site should just go back ONLY 5 years and count the number of foreigners that come to America to fight only to get robbed in fights that the whole world believe they won it.
There are a dime a dozen that have come here and blatantly got robbed. Many of these fighters make a lot of money in their home countries and there is no need for them to come here but they do. They bring more money to the table for the most part and still get robbed in a sport where one loss can send you to purgatory or to your death. America is truly the greatest country in the world

Bradley gets 2nd undeserved win in a row.
Just saying.

Does this writer feel that Bradley should of got a 10-8 for the 3rd rounds when Ruslan landed 2 punches and threw 15, if that ain't a dominate round I don't know what is.

Not the same because........ *reasons

The fight was close, but I thought Bradley clearly won every round that he wasn't badly hurt in. He obviously lost 1, 2, 6, and 12. I think you could have called it a knockdown in the first, but since it wasn't scored that way that was a 10-9 round Bradley did enough to ensure that. You could have scored round 2 10-8, round 6 Bradley did well enough early in the round to ensure it wasn't 10-8, and he lost the point in the last round. I actually think for a close fight it was extremely easy to score. There really weren't any close rounds, either Prov had Bradley nearly KO'ed or Bradley won the rounds.

round 11 was Prov's IMO without having Bradley out on his feet

10-8 rounds are for when a guy takes so much punishment you're amazed he made it out on his feet.

People can say whatever they want but Bradley should not have lost that fight. At best it was a draw which would have been fine. Even if Ruslan was given the credit for the knockdown it would have been a draw. Bradley won 8 rounds and Ruslan won the 4 rounds he hurt him in. 2 of those rounds though were correct at 10-9 because Bradley fought back blow for blow the whole time and he was not dominated, just hurt. Bradley wins close fights because his skillset isn't that great but his heart, will, activity and determination carry him through. Even watching the Pac fight, yes I still think Pac won but go back and watch it over and over again and Pac really didn't do anything against Bradley. He never hurt him, he just landed harder shots. It was not a dominating performance at all. I think Pac won yes, but is what it is. The hate on Bradley just needs to stop...he is not a judge...he is a fighter. The guy gives more than any other fighter in the ring almost and just constantly gets dumped on and booed. Its pretty sad. I bet if Pac won a close fight against JMM there would be no outrage huh? Or Floyd? Then everyone would be saying how he did win and deserved the decision. All this BS is because he has a W over Pac. Pathetic.

I had it a draw myself.

there was 3 10-8 rounds and i think the fight should of been stopped in the second round he was worse than alvarado and that was a right stoppage,bradley will never be the same again in the post fight interview he looked disabled pacquiao looked a lot better in his interview and he got put to sleep.

I feel your pain.....

Just kidding - take these and go to bed.
