      I just don't know anymore. Provodnikov did very well against Bradley, one of the best boxers around that weight. A lot of folks are picking Mike, but I see this as a 50/50 fight.

        These Face Off eps are really hit and miss, with the only good ones being Hopkins-Pascal II, Klitschko-Haye and Cotto-Margarito II.

        I don't doubt that Bradley-Marquez and Alvarado-Provodnikov will be good fights, but Face Offs between these guys are awful.

        ... that, and the ******-ass dramatic music along with Kellerman being the annoying whiny-voiced owl that he is.

          I like it, it's good for the sport. it's a different kind of promotion. instead of your average face off we get the fighters mic'd up to hear what they really have to say to one another. hopefully kellerman asked alvarado why he ducked the vada tests.

            I actually enjoyed the Bradley/Marquez Face-Off. There was a lot of respect between them, but some noticeable tension as well.

              Winner gets Pacquaio which gives Pacqiao another belt and put him right back in the mix. My bet is Alvarado winning the fight but getting beaten up and then being demolished by Pacquaio. Bradley vs Pacquaio 2 won't be happening. Arum wants Prov vs Pacquaio because they've had very bad sparring moments against each other. I think both men have laid each other out in sparring sessions.

                This fight reminds me of Garcia/Lucas fight on a lighter scale. Puncher v.s. a guy who can punch and box. Still rooting for Ruslan.

                    OK, it wasn't as atrocious as Mayweather-Ortiz, Mayweather-Cotto, Bradley-Alexander, or anything with Pacquiao in it. Still, the respect between Marquez and Bradley kinda killed the fun stuff for me. It's great that they don't have any ****** beef, but Wladimir-Haye and Hopkins-Pascal were fucking hilarious because of the sheer amount of hatred on each side of that table.
