Thought Bradley won as well, but what pisses me off is Bradley is better than that. I know he gained a lot of respect but he fought like an idiot and for all we know he may not even be the same fighter anymore.Comment

This is only assuming u disobey the ref's call that there was no knockdown just becuz think so... Which judges aren't allowed to dook just watched it again
ruslan clearly wins round 1,2,6,11, and 12. rounds 7 and 10 are close. ruslan lands harder cleaner punches. bradley shoe-shines. make your own judgement about that...
round 1 bradley almost certainly would have went down but ruslan lightly touches him while he's staggering forward so the ref rules it a slip. whatever.
round 2 ruslan hits bradley with a left hook and bradley completely falls into the ropes. "no possible way he would have stayed up without them." -gravity 10-8 round
round 6 ruslan hits bradley with another left hook and bradley falls into the ropes and actually lands on the bottom rope on his butt to avoid going down. clear knockdown! 10-8 round
round 12 obviously 10-8
so that's 5 clear rounds and 3 without a doubt knockdowns that the ref "missed". even without the ghost push knockdown ruslan wins. closest it could possibly be if you love bradley and give him every benefit of the doubt available to him in this universe is 113-112 ruslan
I remember in round 6, Bradley was beating Provodnikov's ass for most of the round, and got hurt. And even after getting hurt, Bradley stood up with him and fought, surviving the round quite handily
He went 2:30 beating the crap out of Ruslan before getting hurt, and after getting hurt, in the last 10 seconds, he stood and fought with Ruslan, keeping him from deserving a standing 10-8, which numerically at best would have been a 10-9 for Ruslan
That can be argued as Bradley's roundComment

Excellent post bro..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.
