Last nights fight & the history of a Ref calling the wrong shot

I say its the lack of a poor trainer to not have a fighter with the power like Ruslan, not go to the body more especially when he's hurting his opponent upstairs.

The first thing the greats like Duran and Chavez would do when they'd have an opponent hurt, was dig two or three shots to the body before proceeding again upstairs for the kill.

Same mistake Taylor made the first Pavlik fight. Lucas always goes to the body.

Provodnikov landed a right hand and a left hook, Bradley went down, when he got up he fell back down badly hurt like Judah did when Tszyu knocked him down. The referee also did not call a knockdown when Provodnikov knocked Bradley across the ring with the ropes the only thing holding him up. Bradley's referee helped him win that fight for sure. Pac easily beat Bradley, but Bradley's judges gave it to Bradley by split decision. Bradley has lost two fights in a row now. Bradley was taken away in an ambulance with a concussion and I just read that Bradley might have a broken jaw. Bradley will never be the same again. Another Euro getting robbed in America. Matthysse earned a shot at the winner of Garcia/Judah, but now he might be getting set up to fight Peterson in Peterson's home town with Peterson's personal referee and judges. Matthysse has already been robbed when he beat the crap out of Judah and Alexander......................Euros should be aware of the prejudice in America.............

what most people are dismissing is that Bradley was a huge favorite to dominate Ruslan. It didn't happen, and Tim barely survived. Props for surviving but the ref screwed Ruslan badly.
