I give Bradley the edge in power,speed,stamina,style,intelligence,determination,heart,chin,experience,and intangibles. But Provodnikov is European interesting matchup:think
Oh please, the fight wasn't even debatable and you know it. Never in a million years should that have been a split decision. Plovodnikov is wide open everytime he throws his telegraphed punches. Too left hand happy aswell, doesn't have the jab to establish any punches or keep Bradley from finding his rhythm. He gets put on his arse everytime he throws that stupid, telegraphed right-hook to the body that leaves him wide open with his chin hanging up in the air.
Bailey has campaigned for most of his career at LWW, whilst Mosely has been at WW for a long time now, and Randall isnt really known for durability as well as being a fighter who has aged in boxing years, so thats a poor comparison. Im talking about an undefeated puncher against a champ who has been put down by a seemingly lighter puncher. Bradley didnt lose to Witter, and ive never said he did I said it was a SD, and Bradley does get props for travelling, but remember the next time Witter stepped up in class again he was stopped and as said probably in hindsight scored his best win before he won his title, in a close run fight with Kotelnik. How have I wound you up by asking you to pick a fight between a champ who has gone down a couple of times against a resonable puncher against an undefeated big puncher.
I know right..Provodnikov is nothing special...A guy with decent power and has **** poor defense, and eats ways too many shots!atsch
You dont mention though that he is a solid puncher and Bradley was down twice to Holt who lost his fight after. How do you think it would unfold?
atsch Provodonikov isnt Holt so please stop comparing the two...Ruslan hasnt even fought a top notch contender yet and you're saying he's going compete against one the top fighters in the 140 division??? He gets dominated if not shut out! He just doesnt have what it takes to compete against Bradley as of now! He gets hit way too much...He doesnt use his jab to get on the inside.
Provodonikov isnt Holt. Holt just got stopped by a guy with 6 losses and 3 draws, and Holt was KOd by a journeyman before. So I agree Provodnikov isnt Holt.
Where have I made a comparison? I just noted that Holt had put Bradley down twice. Arent you the person who said Provodnikov isnt Holt...atsch
Settle down. Bradley is a PFP fighter. He's not just the best fighter at 140, but one of the best in boxing. He's experienced, he's proven, he's adaptable. He can put on pressure, and box off the backfoot. If you don't have a jab, you don't have a prayer. If Peterson, who's longer and more athletic than Bradley with a great jab got outboxed and outfought, how does Provodnikov have a prayer? Aside from that Provodnikov is green and unproven. This fight would a complete wipe out and may end in a KO. It's a different class. You're talking about one of the top technical boxers in the sport against a green one dimensional puncher. Be real...
