    Feel a little sad for timid Timmy, beating pac, albeit in a way controversial manner, was supposed to give him openings for mega fights. However almost a year of inactivity and then he faces this unknown guy from Russia by the name of Ruslan Provodkinov???? Where the heck did Arum get this guy from??? is he another stiff or do you guys think he could give Bradley a run for his money??? thoughts???:think

    Bradley wins without much trouble.. Provodnikov is a lower B level fighter.

    Im actually not against this fight at all.

    From what I can remember, I had Ruslan beating Herrera comfortably, so IMO hes undefeated anyways.

    This should be a decent fight, and one that could be fun if Bradley wants it to be.

    Im obviously worried about headbutts, but it has potential to be a good fight.

    Lol, this should be on FNF. I'd still watch it though. Bradley, at the very least, should be fighting Rios. Why, Arum, why? You could've easily put Bradley in Alvarado's slot. Instead you make a pointless rematch between Rios and Alvarado. Ruslan should fight Gesta at 140. That's a far more entertaining fight than Bradley-Ruslan.

    He gets cut in almost every fight and Bradley's forehead might turn him into a bloody mess. :verysad

    Bradley defo has the skills to beat the pants off of Provodnikov over 12Rds.
    But this dude is a ****en tank who does not stop coming forward.

    Timbo better get some respect early or else Ruslan is going to try & tee off.

    One of us need to rewatch that fight again, because I remember a highly controversial decision.

    Like Kirk I think Ruslan deserved the W against Herrera. Incidently I thought Herrera got a minor gift in his other big win, against Mike Dallas Jr.

    Provodnikov will make Bradley work, but he'll ultimately get ground down ala Abregu.
