Comments Thread For: Provodnikov Willing To Go To Cali For Bradley Rematch

[Public_Enemy]

I would like to see a rematch. Why not? It probably won't live up to the first fight but it makes sense for both fighters.

Provodnikov can be outboxed. That is clear. He needs to improve on cutting off the ring, using his jab to set up his offense, staying active and not just following his opponent when tired and staying committed to a body attack. Despite all of this, fighters go through hell when they face him. He's closed eyes, knocked down, given concussions or some type of injury to all of his recent opponents. Even if you think Bradley boxes his ears off, he won't be safe in the ring until the final bell. That's compelling imo.

If Bradley boxes, Prov will complain that he ran the entire fight and didn't stand there and let him hit him. Prov is entertaining to watch but is not a boxer. He wants you to stand there. So let him go fight Rios to make himself look good and build his stock back up like others have done.

I think Pacquiao has turned Bradley into a 'Sergio Martinez'. In the sense that he has given him some major injuries. Not talking trash, I just honestly think Bradley is somewhat hesitant about facing Ruslan. He did try to talk the fight down, in saying that Since Ruslan lost his last fight, the rematch has lost some momentum. But yet he doesn't bring up the fact, that he himself just lost his last fight also. Not to mention a Title and his first career loss.

actually tim did bring up the fact that he lost his last fight also, but he said he lost to one of the best in this era, while ruslan lost to a nobody.

Man Up Bradley

Provo won't complain. He's calling out Bradley to fight any way he wants to, in his own hometown. Take the fight then Bradley, if you're not skeeeerd!

The main things that Ruslan needs to improve on are cutting off the ring and MOVING HIS HEAD. He should also keep his hands up better is he is going to constantly pressure his opponent.

You better let him know.

Bradley vs Provodnikov 2 is actually a pretty decent fight to make; crossroads fight between two guys coming off of losses, while also being between two guys who have started to establish names for themselves.

Definitely not a PPV fight, but would hold up as a pretty strong HBO Championship Boxing showcase.

Bradley doesn't have the reach and height advantage Algieri did, it will be much tougher to keep Provodnikov at a comfortable distance.

Lmbo! Ruslan is talking like he has a back yard...saying that he's willing to go back to Cali to fight Tim. Hell, Tim doesn't even have a back yard...Cali is where he fights out of, but he doesn't have a fan base.

Ruslan is talking like he's Sturm or somethin'! Gotta love Ruslan though...he'll fight it out with anybody, anytime.

So you "beat" Bradley now, Provo?
