Bradley-Provodnikov, what an amazing fight.

[Foreign Soil]

whats funny is yall never credit bradley at all u say it was all the russian who made it a good fight but if bradley was on his A game that night he would have easily shut out the russian without breaking a sweat

bradley has true heart of a champion

What's even funnier is people dismissing Ruslan's offensive prowess and writing it off as Bradley's folly. Bradley had to fight for his life that night, if he weren't at his best he would've been knocked out cold.

Rounds 1, 2, 6, and the 12th were amazing.

Bradley showed tremendous heart in that fight, what a fight. The two men went to WAR about half the fight. Had Provodnikov invested in the body early, it may of been a different fight. Provodnikov also punched himself out in the 2nd.

I rescored it, 115-112 for Bradley.

Ruslan; 1, 2, 6, 12
Bradley; 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

In short, Bradley's activity really helped him win on the scorecards, he was landing a lot and he marked up Ruslan's face with the quick shots.

i gave bradley every round. what heart!

[Daddy T]

it was a great fight. You guys saying it was down to one guy more than the other or whatever need to stfu. Both guys gave it there all and put on a great display.

[Weltschmerz]

Mhmm, that was a real fight. Watching Ruslan is always great, though. And I like how he doesn't whine about defeat. An honorable warrior.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Great fight,one of the best fights I've seen ever..

I think Diaz is so underrated as a trainer..

I hope these two mix it up again..I mean again,what a great fight..

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

This fight did a lot to raise Bradley's profile--even tho he did sit on the ropes on more than one occasion.

He may be the best athlete in all of sports.

And it may just be impossible to hurt Ruslan Provodnikov.

LOL. Provodnikov punched himself out and was too lazy in all the other rounds. He had competitive rounds no dobut, except the 3rd and 4th were really bad for him because he had obviously punched himself out in the 2nd. His punches dropped from like 96 to 16 in rounds 2 to 3. In the "exciting" rounds it was mainly because Provodnikov was able to find Bradley and really wobble him yet not drop the man. In those rounds he really tore up Bradley, i dont know how Bradley stayed up in those rounds because in those rounds Bradley ate serious leather.

Had he of been more reserved like the Alvarado fight he would of had more in the tank throughout the fight.

The fight was definitely amazing! I don't know if I've ever watched a fight with such back and forth drama. I've seen slot of great fights but this was literally like a movie...

My question is how long do you think this fight will be remembered? Do you think we'll be watching it on espn classic in 10-20 years?

Definitely, that fight made me appreciative of Bradley. I hadn't heard of him till Pacquiao, and that fight wasn't exactly a breakout fight for him in terms of being liked. But with Provo, I'm sure Bradley gained many fans that night.

After rescoring I see no possibly way to be a fair judge and give it to Provodnikov. I could give Ruslan an extra round and a knockdown that I thought he deserved and he would of still lost that fight on my card, Bradley fought a very good fight.

The night of the fight I thought Ruslan won, but not anymore, I see it as a great win for Bradley now.
