    Notice Provodnikov had stamina issues with Bradley, but was ready for Alvarado?

    I thought we were in for the upset when Ruslan was trading with Bradley into the middle rounds... But then he seemed to stop throwing the combinations... He fought in spurts... Bradley was hurt several times and still maintained a good work rate... Ruslan ran out of gas, otherwise he might have had Bradley's number that night.

    When he fought Alvarado, the punches kept coming and he took care of business throughout the middle rounds to a Knockout... Roach corrected the problem... But he trained Ruslan for Bradley as well.... Puzzling ???

    Was there a personal, health or injury issue unknown to us? Or was he not completely ready for the big stage vs Bradley ???

    the punches didn't keep coming, he paced himself in the alvarado fight

    he blew his load early vs bradley trying to finish him and could never refill a good amount amongst the constant punches of bradley

    stamina is the same

          Wasn't Provodnikov tested by VADA before and after both fights?

            Bradley's body work is underrated, there was a reasons why Pac didn't throw as much during their fight and I'm certain the body work was one of them.

            Against Prov, Bradley was landing beautiful body shots.
            Prov against Alvarado was just a one sided beat down, Alvarado didn't land anything really significant against that non-stop pit bull.

              Dude threw a lot of punches first two. Threw like 12 in the third, then Bradley started moving a lot more after that.

                He had inactive rounds against Alvarado as well.

                  Bradley threw a lot of punches and did a lot of damage and is an infinitely better mover than Alvarado.

                    Agreed, watched the fight again last night. Bradley landed some hellish body shots on Provodnikov.
