    I scored it identical to Lederman, even if the first KD was score Bradley would have still won. Judges got it perfect.

    Mad respect to both, what a fight.

    The difference is between a win and a draw.

    Either way Ruslan doesnt win, and with a Draw Tim doesnt lose either that sixth round you can easily score that for Tim as well though I gave it to Ruslan Tim was working for most of that round until he got buzzed in the last 40 seconds

    What? Let's look at this as objectively as possible. Prov got robbed of a point. Bradley won by a point on two cards. Do the math.

    Robbed? No sir that ref had to make the call on the fly, considering the circumstances I wouldnt say robbed a point bad call if anything at best but not even a bad call more less it was bad luck.

    Bottom line you could call it a KD you could also call it a push down either way its not a robbery the only case you could make for a robbery is if it cost Ruslan the title which it didnt a draw doesnt win you the title.

    Oh bull****. Anyone would take a draw over a loss any day of the week. Not only for pride, but for future bargaining power.

    True in general, but you can already see he's not a guy networks will seek out for his record, or smooth skills. He's gained a whole lot in the loss, and some fans even feel for him not winning the decision. Nobody really gave a **** about him last week. I'm not sure even a TKO1 would have done much more for him, it would have looked flukey like Ishida Kirkland. Other than the belt of course, that is a big deal for most guys esp a fringe guy like him.

    THE LAUGH PARADE is active

    To begin with I had predicted Manny P would not defeat Bradley.
    And, once again, Timothy was in a fight where he demonstrated
    his winning ways.
    Now, all of the anti-Bradley folks are having a field day with heaps
    of more criticism of Timothy. Of course they are wrong.

    The first round slip or knockdown would or should not have made
    a difference in the bout which Bradley won without any doubt.
    Now his opponents face was pretty beat-up, and his opponents "great"
    cornerman was talking about stopping the fight or was that
    just the good old feint bs in the corner.

    Well said! :hammertime Bradley knows how to move, and he has the
    right stuff to adapt to the bangers or the boxers. Good all-around boxer
    and does not deserve any of the crap thrown at him. :nono

    Bad prediction, hope you're not crowing about it unless you had money on it, and even then you gotta feel a little dirty collecting.

    The "slip" made a difference on the fight result, that's factual. It was a 1 pt win, the math is not hard.

    Why don't you ask Provadnikov what the difference is.

    Imagine what he was just robbed of, both financially and career-wise.


    And you think this is OK, because the ref "made a mistake?" (in quotes, because it was obvious that Russell did everything in his power to help Bradley for the entire fight.)


    It's really, really NOT ok.
