Roach Upset: Ruslan Should've Had Three 10-8 Rounds
Carson, California - Shortly after Tim Bradley's epic unanimous decision victory over Ruslan Provodnikov at the Home Depot Center, the Siberian's trainer, Freddie Roach, said that his fighter will remain at 147 pounds. The twice beaten Provodnikov had been campaigning as a junior welterweight and Roach told BoxingScene that he is a much better fighter at welterweight. "He's definitely staying at welterweight. Making 140 pounds was killing Ruslan and it definitely effected his performance. He's 100% better at 147. That's where he is going to fight from now on," Roach stated.

Freddie Roach Takes Offense To Joel Diaz's Verbal Jabs
Freddie Roach responded to Joel Diaz’s disrespectful comments, but he would prefer that Ruslan Provodnikov gives the most important retort of all Saturday night against Timothy Bradley. “This is a big fight for Ruslan, the biggest fight of his life,” Roach said on a conference call to promote their 12-round fight for Bradley’s WBO welterweight title. “It is a great opportunity and I’m glad he has the opportunity.

Insider Notebook: Bradley; SHO; Mayweather vs. Guerrero
By Robert Morales - It was the kind of victory you sort of want to throw back. After sitting down with Timothy Bradley on Tuesday, it seemed like he almost felt that way about his win over Manny Pacquaio on June 9, 2012. Sitting inside a dressing room at Fortune Gym in Hollywood, Calif., Bradley entertained a reporter while Top Rank Inc. spokesman Lee Samuels listened in. About eight minutes into what turned out to be a 15-minute conversation, Bradley was asked straight out if the joy he should have felt by defeating Pacquiao was taken away by the hoopla surrounding his controversial split decision win. "Yes, absolutely," said Bradley, who will defend the welterweight title he took from Pacquiao on March 16 when he takes on Ruslan Provodnikov at Home Depot Center (on HBO). "There was really no joy in beating Pacquiao. There was really no joy after the fight itself. You know, all the backlash I took, all the comments I had to deal with. Walking down the street, feeling like, you know, that I got a gift was ... it's the worst feeling ever. "Especially for an athlete and a person. To have people talk about you in the media and don't give you no credit whatsoever. Granted that I was injured during the fight, granted that I stayed in the fight; there was no positive out of it." Bradley wasn't whining. He was simply showing a human side some don't want to show. "The sucky part about the whole thing is that the perception of the public is that I lost that fight and that alone really killed me," Bradley said. "You know what I mean? It really killed me."
