    I think it's a possibility. That post fight interview was hard to watch. He seemed completely out of it.

      To be fair Ruslan was a career 140 pound fighter himself and Bradley fought at 152 as an amateur for many years.

        so if the judges had given ruslan the fight bradley would be damaged but because they gave it to bradley he's ok? i dont think his body recognizes the difference. he's clearly shot.

          He'll beat Marquez if the drug testing is right (i.e. VADA) to prevent any funny business from Memo. If not, Marquez could stop him.

            It's sad I know, he went out there trying to impress the fans, only to have them overlook that and say that he won a gift over Provdo as well.

              Besides Ruslan, he didn't exactly look great against Abregu either, and of course got smacked around by Pac though that's not something you can hold against him, really.

                Abregu was the one guy that was bigger but still Bradley won just about every round if my memory serves me correct. Pac wasnt about size he's just the superior fighter.

                  We gotta wait to see but a fight like that takes something out of a guy. He took a beating.

                    The damage would be the same weather he won or lost the fight.

                    Bradley was beat up in his last two fights, more so against provodnikov. But the fact remains he was injured badly in his last two bouts.

                    I don't think Bradley is damaged goods but his confidence is probably not at all time high, while Marquez's is.

                      Well every fighter loses something in a fight like that. I guess Is all down hill from here but he aint shot and I still think he beats Marquez in a decision.
