    Should Provodnikov have gotten the decision against Bradley?

    It was close, but I believe he nicked it. That knockdown in Round 1 was ruled a slip and could've made a lot of difference. Even a Draw, but unfortunately Bradley doing the Standy Leg wasn't enough to be called a knockdown.

    Provodnikov is a beast who only has one true loss on his record and I'm not talking Herrera. I think he won't leave it to the judges this time. Good thing Mattysse also comes to engage. I definitely think Provo got this.

    However, what do you think? Should Provo had gotten it?

    I believed he knicked the W but it was so close and bradley showed mad heart so I can see why bradleys balls will give him the edge in the close rounds.

      It should've been a draw, Ruslan knocked him down twice in the first round, Bradley's legs were gone.

      Had the fight taken place in Britain, it would've been a round 1 TKO and rightfully so.

        I scored it a draw by official boxing rules... but visually Ruslan beat Tim's ass

          The fight could have easily been stopped by the ref when bradley attempted to stand up and ended up doing a somersault

              if i don't remember wrong i saw him win 4 rounds, with a KD. the thing is, every round that provo won, he really hurt bradley, you could see that. so maybe. it was a close fight.

              one thing, bradley outboxed him easily when he decided to box, and provo was out of gas too fast. after 2 ferocious rounds, he didn't throw a punch in the 3º and he came back to the fight around the 6º or the 7º

                If that KD in the first was scored, that would be 10-8 1st and 10-8 12 that 4pts with 10 round left to score, so Bradley would have to win 7 rounds just for a draw. I thought the second round could have been a 10-8 Provodnikov the way his punch were landing compared to Bradley (harder, more damage) good 2 way action though.
                At worst it should have been a draw (I was at Chaves draw, it wasn't even close, Bradley won), but I thought Provodnikov did enough to win.
                I think thee real question is who would you have rather been at the end of the night? Bradley was pissing blood I think, had a concussion and would have gotten KO'd if they still went 15.

                  I felt that it was a close fight, but each round had a decisive winner, no swing rounds. I think Bradley is a fair result.

                    I voted for a draw. I thought it was very close and could have gone either way without being a robbery. The better known fighter got the win which is what usually happens in close fights.
