Wow, do people seriously think that Provodnikov did better against Bradley than Pac?

Apparently Pac the monster landed more punches on Bradley than Ruslan did, yet Ruslan busted up Bradley's face and almost had him out of there on more than one occasion. Bradley was defensive against Pac and aggressive against Ruslan, and Pac landed more punches?
It just goes to show how bullshit those compubox numbers are, they're either bullshit or Pac can't punch. Pac barely landed anything the whole night against Bradley, Bradley was slipping everything and sticking the jab in Pacs face. Ruslan landed clear punches and clearly hurt Bradley, Pac was almost completely ineffective against Bradley so of course Ruslan did better.

Its pro boxing, damage, power punches are more important than dozens of bitch slaps. Provodnikov did much better job than pac and other bradley opponents.

Just like you don't know shit about anything else, you don't know shit about boxing too.

First off, Roach admitted that Ruslan was a harder puncher than Pacquaio.

Secondly, Bradley stood right in front of Ruslan, who is a slow, durable, slugger with some basic skills.

That goes down to styles. Bradley is at his best as a volume puncher, which is the worst style to utilize against a durable slugger. Unfortunately, Bradley is not the most proficient boxer, so he could not utilize a gamepland that perhaps, Cotto or Mayweather would have used.

(Assuming Mayweather can still use his legs, because Mayweather is no Hopkins, and Cotto has a better jab, but his right hand is still not fully developed)

Bradley was slipping and rolling the punches to take off some of their effect. Pacquaio did manage to make Bradley's head spin around like the excorcist, but Bradley went in there respecting Pacquaio's power.

Again though, Bradley is not a very good boxer, and when he tried to box Pacquaio, he was completely ineffective. He landed practically nothing of significance.

In contrast, he hit Ruslan with damn near every shot he threw, many of which were "power" shots.

Pacquaio won at the minimum 8 rounds unless you're a biased retard that doesn't know shit about boxing.

I know you said you were an amateur champion and the best in the world or some shit, so you must know the difference between running around the ring, arm punching, versus landing with authority.

In any event, Ruslan not only lost, but absorbed one hell of a beating in the process.

If both fighters got brain damage, how can you say one guy did better?

Pacquaio won cleanly and absorbed a FRACTION of the beating Ruslan took.

And a TINY FRACTION.

Honestly, it wasn't even that grueling of a fight for Pacquaio. High intesne, but not too grueling. Bradley took some serious shots though.

His inability to box made it look like he was running rather than engaging.

Pac got outboxed by Bradley, everything Pac threw was being slipped by Bradley. Bradley's weak ass legs and ankles made him look like he was getting tagged and hurt but if you have eyes that actually work and ears that don't believe everything they hear then you know that Pac wasn't landing shit. Meanwhile Bradley was regularly putting the jab in Pacs face (which counts when you score a round) and landing body punches. Pac would throw a spastic combo in the last 10 seconds of every round to give the impression he was in control and steal rounds. There were very few clear rounds in that fight and I don't subscribe to the theory that one power punch from Pac is the equivalent of three punches from Bradley, so I had Bradley winning a close fight. Bradley isn't the greatest boxer, but Pac sure made him look good. Ruslan isn't slow either, he can throw some explosive punches. He landed some flush shots on Bradley really hurting him and yet an apparent speedster like Pac couldn't land anything significant the whole fight? I understand that Pac can't cut off the ring or anything but if he was as dominant as some people suggest then where was the damage and why wasn't Bradley ever noticeably hurt? Bradley didn't land a whole lot during that fight either but he still outpointed Pac. Pac doesn't get rounds just for being Pac.

Complete and utter nonsense. Did you watch that episode of "The Fight Game." Did you have Pac winning that round?...
