Comments Thread For: Provodnikov: Tim Bradley Fight Gave Me Happiest Moment

[Respect Power]

Say what you want, I hope they even do a rematch because Tim would dominate the entire fight this time winning 11-1.

Kinda have to agree ... Tim had somthing to prove the first time comming off that controversial win over PAC . He wanted to prove that he was champion and he could be exciting .. He paid dearly for it by talking damage... Next time he will be patient and fight his fight . If he does that Provo doesn't have much more than a punchers chance .

I will say that I thought Provo's movement and cutting off the ring against Alvarado seemed much better but Bradley's in another class altogether IMO .

Also, Tim had to cut 20 pounds in less than 3 weeks time in order to make weight and he weighed in more than he had in his entire career for that fight. Most of us know what happened to Roy Jones after dropping all that weight after the Ruiz fight when he fought Tarver, you just can't take punches as well. There were a lot of things going in Ruslan's favor which definitely won't be inplay if a rematch ever happens.

I like Ruslan and think he is a tremendous boxer but his style is not a good mesh with Bradley's especially when he is in his "boxing" mode.

Excellent point.. I like everything about Provo and will always root for him ... But you gotta call it like u see it.. Saying that ,I also like Bradley and think he represents the sport and art of boxing very well.

I like provo but I hate hearing this. to me that's a losers mentality. he should be gutted over that loss. that's the mentality of a loser. I have never been happy over a loss

SMH at the people shaking their heads...it was his coming out fan. Hell many people on here didn't know who this guy was before that fight but you bet your @ss the world of boxing is on notice now. All those years of fighting in virtual anonymity...it has to feel amazing to see the people embrace you as they did to him.
