Provodnikov admits Bradley beats him

[daggum]

Daggum has more credibility than him. He was there...watching the fight on his laptop.... on the crappiest stream

yes i do have more credibility than him. i'm not in the boxing industry.

Bradley whooped up on Providnikov from 3 on until the final round barring the 6th. Ruslan is a pretty honest, humble guy and he will KO Alvarado when they fight. After this win, perhaps more people will respect him.

tim bradley the man who wins every round as long as he is still standing at the end.

"look he's not dead! 10-9 bradley!" -professional boxing judge

Since you already know what the deal is, why don't you root for the winning team? Bradley is going to keep on winning and grinning all the way to the bank.

could have? should have. why wouldn't you take those into consideration? you saw them happen. because the ref messed up i guess they didn't happen? so anytime the ref helps the A-side fighter we should just let it go? oh well he missed 2 knockdowns that helped him to win the fight. oops!

just went with was officially called...but it was definitely controversial

All of the arguments for Provodnikov are what the ref "could have done".

They are judgement calls and nobody is complaining but select BoxingScene posters.

What needs to be talked about is what Provodnikov "could have done". The rounds he won big, but the rounds he lost he didn't do ****. 10 points is 10 points whether you beat the **** out of your opponent or move and outbox him for most of the round.

It's a 10 point must system, not a 10-9 must system. Why should a round where a fighter just wins it be equal to a round where a fighter kicks the other guys ass? This is a big problem in boxing. Judges don't have to give the loser 9

What would you define as a 10-8 round?

What would you define as a 10-8 round?

when the ref misses a clear knockdown and the guy tries to get up and falls again because a ghost pushes him. or how about when a guy gets knocked down into the ropes and staggers around the ring for a minute and is nearly stopped. you would give 10-8 rounds for bradley shoe-shining on ruslan. same thing!

Simple. You want an extra point? Knock your opponent down. You don't want to lose a point? Stay on your damn feet.
