Comments Thread For: Provodnikov's Manager: Marquez Might Have To Fight Us!

Yup.

Yup. I knew the story going into the fight BUT I don't care. This a professional sport and Bradley is a millionaire who shouldn't care what other humans think of him and the robbery of Manny. No excuses. I know he was partly weight-drained but he also faced a monster named Provo. He isn't that smart of a fighter and that will be his down fall when he loses. He still gets caught while throwing wide punches. Is he improving? Yes. But is it a 50/50, of course. He can lose a rematch against Provo. It's common sense.

Not a convenient fight for Marquez at this point of his career.

I am not saying he wouldnt win or even that he wont take it.

I just think thar Provo`s war style its not what you should be looking for at your 40īs and after so many grueling fights.

A one-sided fight? Here are the numbers from Compubox

Bradley-Marquez final numbers: (landed/thrown = percentage of accuracy)

Jabs
Bradley: 82/337 = 24.33%
Marquez: 38/169 = 22.48%

Power punches
Bradley: 86/225 = 38.22%
Marquez: 115/286 = 40.20%

Totals: Jabs + Power Punches
Bradley: 168/562 = 29.89%
Marquez: 153/455 = 33.62%

Bradley-Provodnikov final numbers: (landed/thrown = percentage of accuracy)

Jabs
Bradley: 129/489 = 26.38%
Provodnikov: 32/162 = 19.75%

Power punches
Bradley: 218/511 = 42.66%
Provodnikov: 186/514 = 36.18%

Totals: Jabs + Power Punches
Bradley: 347/1000 = 34.70%
Provodnikov: 218/676 = 32.24%

So there you go.

Bradley-Marquez was a closer fight than Bradley-Provodnikov. It was a boring fight, because Bradley made it so, by running and avoiding trading with Marquez all night.

Bradley outdid Provodnikov in every single statistic.

Bradley ONLY outdid Marquez in jabs and total punches landed (by just very little BTW). In everything else, he came short.

Bradley was willing to trade with Provodnikiv almost all night (he threw 1000 punches to Provo!), whereas he threw only about half the punches vs. Marquez (only 562 punches), because obviously he feared a knock-out from Marquez, Pacman-go-to-sleep style.

Provodnikov knocked Bradley down 3-4 times simply because Bradley was willing to trade with him all night, but Bradley was obviously scared of a Marquez' big colossal right counter, that's why there wasn't any knock-downs.

Just clearing up things here, that's all. That Kornilov guy is either a liar or an ignorant, because he clearly is mistaken about who did better vs. Bradley.

You forgot to mention how Bradley put Marquez on ***** street with a right hook and had him doing backstrokes near the end of the fight. Bradley can thank the incompetent ref for his victory over Provo, how anybody can rule the first knockdown as a "slip" is beyond ******ity. Bradley literally tasted the canvas in that fight.

[R.I.P Chico]

Newly crowned WBO super lightweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov's manager Vadim Kornilov advised BoxingScene.com that his client's top choice for his next opponent is Mexican icon Juan Manuel Marquez. Kornilov feels that if Manny Pacquiao ends up facing Floyd Mayweather or Tim Bradley next, Provo***ov is the only fight that would make sense for Marquez.

Marquez complained that Bradley flwouldn't stand and trade (I had the fight closer than most). No such problem with Provodnikov. I think JMM could pull it off. But a 40 year old, who can be hit, that is sla notoriously slow starter; could be his first stoppage loss and retirement. PAC/Marquez was shaping up to be one of the greatest fights of all time - Pacquiao was in ruthless mode before KO. Would love to see a 5th. Manny never needed to give JMM Those rematches.
