My pfp top 10 list of the best fighters today.

He definitely struggled with Malignaggi. He didn't need to, and shouldn't have, but he did. Cotto and Hatton beat him easier, though the Cotto fight was also pretty close.

Before anyone says it, it doesn't matter that he was moving up two divisions. They don't matter much anymore when a guy is coming in as a welterweight, and more, but just decides to cut out the middle man and come in at his more natural weight without having to cut down to a lower division. He was a welterweight fighting at lightweight and size etc had nothing whatsoever to do with this fight. He just fought like a moron.

This wasn't Duran moving up to fight Carlos Palomino and Sugar Ray Leonard. Paulie was nothing more than an ok contender. He moved up to fight the worst 'champion' (which today just means one of the top contenders behind the actual champion) and he could have beaten him so much easier than he did. I don't understand why, but I suspect he was just trying to land a highlight reel combination that ended with a perfect KO punch. Doesn't always happen though, particularly with a tough guy like Paulie. Hopefully he understands that now and throws punches when he needs to instead of ****ing about.

This is a good post but struggle is a word that just does not fit for me when talking about this fight.

By the way, that was a knock down in the first round. After he got hit with the big right hand, they clinched a bit, then Bradley got hit with a left hook inside and fell forward. He wasn't pushed.

The ref saw the push down which is why he didn't call it a knockdown.

There's no push. Bradley lost his footing shortly after the left hook because he was hurt as hell.

He got pushed down. You're talking after the fact. The ref was right there. He didn't have to push him.

No, he was knocked down from a punch.

My final word on this. Agree or not.

To the real fans out there. Bradley was shook up, but he didn't fall until he was held from getting up. Bradley looked to clinch and Prov put both arms on top of Bradley's head and shoulders preventing him from coming up.

Yes Bradley was hurt, but you can't push a guy down as he's bent over and prevent him from getting up. Prov broke the clinch but Bradley didn't go down from a punch.

I posted the link. I'm done with the topic. I see why the ref didn't call it a knockdown or even a delayed reaction knockdown.
