Bradley vs Provodnikov is the closest fight I've seen thus far

[Sammy2g3]

I just re-watched this fight I had it 113-112 for Provodnikov counting the first 2 rounds 10-8 for Provodnikov. The first round KD was clear as day to me the ref messed up badly.

However, I can still see a draw or perhaps a win for Bradley 114-113.

Officially though I would have had it 113-113 but I would be fine with either scorecard. Either 113-112 for Provodnikov or 114-113 for Bradley and a draw too.

What was your scorecard?

How can you score the 2nd round 10-8? Bradley was fighting back and landing....Being badly hurt doesn't automatically mean 10-8. The first round Bradley was pushed down. Like Martinez's second knockdown in the JCC jr fight.

Bradley got hurt a few times, but I thought he clearly won. The knockdown made it closer than he wanted it to be, but I had him winning by two points. It would have been three, but the knockdown made the score closer.

It's funny, but I think Provodnikov beat and hurt Bradley more than Pacquiao did. However, more people will accept Bradley winning against Provodnikov than Pacquiao. Don't get me wrong, I still think Bradley should not have got the decision against Pacquiao but when you put it in perspective Provodnikov put on a much better showing against Bradley than Pacquiao but there was hardly the backlash. Incidentally, I think this fight was scored correctly but it could have gone either way because there was so much inactivity from Provodnikov.

easy to score, close in rounds though, can't see it any way but for bradley unless you give provodnikov some 10-8's

Just looking at Ruslan made my face hurt.

anyone and everyone who says the fight wasn't close needs to get their eye balls checked like Max Kellerman.

I had the fight 113-112 Bradley. I think Ruslan could've beat him if he didn't allow Bradley to hit him, then again, Ruslan is a Brawler..
