So I was puffing a L watching the Bradley/Provodnikov fight again and I noticed after the fight Tim's face was swollen badly. I checked the Compubox stats and it said Provodnikov landed 186/514 Powerpunches. His total punches landed were 216/676. I then wanted to check the Bradley/Pacquiao Compubox stats because I always felt that after that fight Bradley had a very clean face and his overall demeanor seemed fresh and lively after the fight (not like someone who'd been in a war with Manny Pac-Man) And the stats say Pacquiao landed 190/493 Powerpunches and 253/751 Total punches. So my question is How did Pacquiao and Provodnikov land about the same amount of Powershots, and Pac actually landed 50 more shots total in the fight than Provodnikov Yet Bradley is speaking fresh after the Pac Fight, but Slurring his speech and dazed after the Prov fight. I know the elementary answer most of you will fire off is "Provo hits harder than Pac-Man" (which Roach confirmed) and "Timmy had a concussion" but I'm more curious about how a 147lb "Pac-Monster" supposedly lands that many times on Bradley during a fight, yet Bradley wasn't ever badly hurt during the fight or bruised as much as in the Provodnikov fight. You can't say much about scar tissue because these fights are less than a year apart, not like the fights were fought with many wars in between. I'm not saying Bradley won the Pac fight, but what I am saying is that 1 of 3 things occured 1) Pac received credit for punches he didn't land and Compubox had it wrong that night 2) Pac Man doesn't hit like the monster we think he does, Or 3) Bradley's facial skin decided to be tough when he fought Pac, but decided to be weak the night he fought Provodnikov 9 months later (which I highly doubt)
For the Record I scored it 7 to 5 for Pac, but I feel this fight may have been far from the Robbery we were told it was. Let me know your comments or thoughts.
