Bradley: "When Provodnikov hit me my life flashed before my eyes!"

[Deevel916]

Prov hits harder than Pac, but Pac is the better fighter and boxer, and is more likely to hit you with a combination and landing punch after punch.

Here he talks about Pacquiao's punching ability and power.

I'm re watching this fight, just finished the second round, how the **** did Bradley not drop? He looked about as out of it as possible.

Bradley is honest when he said Ruslan hits hard, only an idiot would question Ruslan power. Everyone who fought him said he hits like a truck, this is why Algieri will beat Pac easy on points or body shot ko.

In this video that Deevel916 posted:

Elie tells Bradley here that Filipinos are mad at him because he tells them Bradley was never hurt by Pac, Bradley corrects Elie Sekbach and said he was hurt Pac hurt him in both fights, but if you hear him describe it, its not as bad as when Ruslan hurt him. So Ruslan is a vicious puncher, and Pac is a baby puncher in comparison.

That sequence Tim describes (from Pac II) was such a key moment to me in watching how Pac comes back from the JMM loss. That was the first time in the two recent fights where he immediately bounced back in to follow up and throw a second combination. A combination with more heat on it - whereas in the Rios fight he would throw one combination and then move.

I expect to see a lot more of it in the Algieri fight which is why I think he is in trouble. Algieri can move a bit, but he can't do it all the time...he does need to stop, earmuff and turtle from time to time and that is where Manny will look to pounce with no counters to worry about.

Easier said than done, Pac will have trouble trying to hit Algieri, chris moves a lot and has height and reach it will be hard for him to get in on chris.

Pac is supposed to be trimming down to 144, yet why does he look more muscular for this fight than he has in the rest? He came into camp weight 160 pounds.

Did those flashbacks consist of ducking Amir Khan and thinking if I did fight him it would've been worse than this?

He chose to fight Pacquaio over Khan hardly can be considered a duck.

KO's and power aren't the same thing. Some not-that-hard punches can put guys down by being accurate or catching them with their neck at a bad angle.

If Bradley says Provodnikov hits that hard I tend to believe him, seeing as he's fought him and you probably haven't.

Oh, I've seen this film before.

Bradley was in a close fight with Provodnikov so he's obviously going to say good things about him. It's basic stuff.

I agree with the first part of your post, but my opinion still stands. His power is overrated.
