Provodnikov vs. Bradley... Who won?

Easy fight to score

Bradley 113 (3,4,7,8,9,10) - Provo 113 (1,2*,6,11,12*)

* = 10-8 round

 

who won the 5th round ?

 

The rounds were very easy to score. Both guys dominated the rounds they won.

I think I would give round 2 10-8 myself.

 

Yeah credit where it's due. Good call.

I am surprised to see others scoring it differently if I'm honest. The rounds were all very clear and the only debate is regarding 10-8 rounds early on.

 

I dunno, I think they better do it again just to make sure...

 

Prov won rounds 1 and 12 10 - 8 for me. He also won round 2, 6 and round 11 10-9 in my book, with Bradley winning every other round which gives a total of:

113 - 113

 

114-112 Bradley. I taped the fight last night and started watching it with my breakfast this morning expecting to be one of those fights you drift in and out of watching, bascially expecting a routine Bradley UD. Couldn't have been more wrong. Unbelievable action, full credit to both guys. That's why we love boxing.

 

Had it a draw myself. Definitely warrants a rematch, although that might not be the best idea for either man's long term health.

 

Whoops! Bradley won the 5th

 

DRAw!

 

Idem, except i give the ninth to Prod, because he hurt Bradley big in the last 30 sec, and that was worth more than any pitty pat that Bradley had done in the first 2.30.

So that's 114-112 Prod for me.

The question is how does Lederman score the 11 for Bradley ? Has to be a joke...

 

Ruslin should have gotten at least two 10-8 rounds, a draw would have been a better verdict but IMO Ruslin pulled out the win and gave away too man close rounds at the same time.

 

R1. Provodnikov 10/8

114-112 Bradley

 

With the knockdowns, I had it about even. One hell of a tilt.

 

I scored it a Draw. Had the first round knockdown counted Provodnikov would have won on my score card. Second Bradley fight in a row where eiither guy could have gotten his hand raised.
