    He clearly won 3,4,5,7,8,9,10 and boxed Provodnikov with ease over that stretch

    Ruslan did not do enough during that stretch and only managed to take 6 after losing the first 2 and a half minutes before catching Bradley and the 2 exchanged on the ropes Prov got the better

    Expert panelist Weisfeld appeared 50/50 on whether or not a knockdown was missed but thought neither 1 or 2 was 10-8

    to me a Prov left hook came in they clinched and Prov pushed him down, to me its not this obviously blown or missed call that some are saying

    also Bradley though wobbled fought back in round 2, I dont know if they can be viewed as 10-8 Weisfeld mentioned this when showing footage of exchanges in round 2 where Bradley was getting in as well

    i dont know what happened in 11 or 12 but in 9 he was beating up Prov and in
    10 he boxed him well but again got back to the unnecessary exchanges

    Also Bradley did throw his share of pitty patty shots but Bradleys uppercuts to the head stopped Prov in his tracks and some even moved his head back, the body punching seemed to do plenty of damage, Bradley when settled down and countered caught Prov's attention some left hooks too

    Prov to me did not do enough from round 2 to 11 he just let himself get out worked and Bradley moved and boxed a lot better than i remember live
     
  2. You should try it with the TV muted, microwave on, upside down the couch and 3D glasses. He looked WAY better.

    Clearly when you watch a fight multiple times you notice things you missed, Bradley really does better than most casuals think he does, I'm sorry you are still butt hurt over Pacquiao fight

    I gave Tim 3-11. Too active and too effective.

    i didnt think he did well last nite, but i thought he won

    watching it again he did much better 3-10 then i remember, i thought he boxed terribly but upon another watch he was in firm control didnt get hit much and Prov followed him around getting hit and not landing

    outside of the last 30 seconds in round 6 Prov was dominated 3-10

    Maybe if you watch it a third time Bradley will win by KO.

    when watching it live with the expectations plus the drama of a ko at any moment it seemed like Bradley did awful

    but when you watch it again and you dont have the excitement of when you watch it live you notice things that you didnt notice in the midst of getting carried away

    Bradley did **** up in 11 and 12 and got away from what worked in 3-10 he seemed to just abandon the boxing that was working

    Bradley was landing a lot of body shots that were clearly bothering Ruslan alot, and also was really landing some good uppercuts on the inside.

    You are right, but these people hate Bradley.

    5 rounds won, one knockdown, and another 10-8 round (either the missed knockdown in round 1 or round 2) still equals a draw for Ruslan, not a UD loss.

    If this fight was a sandwich, Provodnikov's the bread and Bradley's the peanut butter, nahmsayin?
