Explain to me....

How provodnikov beats bradley in a rematch considering these 2 facts:

Bradley boxed his head off once HE decided he didn't want to trade anymore.

He is now disciplined as illiustrated in his performance v marquez.

Once he started boxing he dominated the fight .....so how are you expecting him to get beat by provod a 2nd time around.

Also i bet on provodnikov by KO last night so i'm not a fanboy.

I don't think Bradley really had a choice on whether to box him or brawl with him. Prov kind of forced him to fight. Prov just ran out of steam.

[joesaiditstrue]

Not at all.....

i was talking about how angulo gassed out by punching himself out

but yeah you're right the fight overall wasn't very similar but that's not what i meant

[bojangles1987]

If he got Bradley in as much trouble as he was in the first fight again, a different ref might stop it. A different ref might also have called what happened in first round a KD. Ruslan hits very hard and Bradley is not a defensive wizard, though he is good.

It's called "moving" not "boxing." And, yes, you're correct.

I wouldn't expect Ruslan to win, but I'd give him a decent chance by doing exactly what he did in the first fight and again last night.

You can't just take the evidence of the Marquez fight and say - 'he is now disciplined' any more than you could say Provo would win 'cos his conditioning is now better and he wouldn't take the rounds off.

Styles make fights, and if I was Bradley, I wouldn't be wanting this one...

[SplitSecond]

provo is a better counter-puncher than marquez

yep, i said it

[Skip Bayless]

tims chin could be damaged for good. ruslan might pressure him even more this time. i would bet on tim ud but its absurd to say ruslan doesnt have a chance

[ramses07]

by todays standards bradley-provo should have been stopped a couple of times. lets not forget the knockdowns that were taken away from ruslan.

[Curtiz]

I just think that 1st time Bradley had a point to prove.

Obviously he was going to get tagged from round 3 onwards because lets face it he was nearly dead from that brutal exchange.

A fresh Bradley that boxes from the beginning wins that fight easily.

I'd expect Mayweather to get caught aswell if he'd being rocked like Bradley was in round 3.

If the rematch is arranged i'll take bets on here aswell as online with skybet

I agree. Bradley has bigger fish to fry. He needs to clean up that Pacquiao situation.


Let Provodnikov fight Marquez. And then Bradley can watch his sons duke it out and smile like a proud Dad watching his sons that made it.
