Is he touger than JMM? No I seriously doubt it. Provodnikov is bigger/stronger and a harder puncher though.
Honestly, I think the difference was the way Bradley fought in each fight. He tried to exchange more with Ruslan and paid the price. Bradley chose to box against Marquez and use his speed and footwork. Therefore JMM never hurt him or had him in trouble. Two different fights led to two different outcomes.
There's absolutely no way Provodnikov is better offensively than JMM. But his style is more suited to fight a guy like Bradley.
Yeah styles make fights. Provodnikov is a come forward fighter and Marquez is a move backward counterpuncher. Provodnikov might be stronger dropping Bradley but Bradley didn't went toe to toe with Marquez though..
Bradley showed balls of steel going toe to toe with Provodnikov. It will be the FOTY. Bradley could've box Prov and make it easier for himself but the fact that he didn't, I applaud him for that.
