    Solid 8 for me.

    He's been in with some very solid punchers before, and i've never seen him hurt before tonight.
    I hope nobody comes on here talking **** about how Bradley, or his chin got exposed tonight. Ruslan is obviously a BIG puncher, and Timmy obviously had a ******ed game plan through alot of the fight, and ended up taking some massive punches flush on the chin... sure his legs went wobbly a few times tonight, but there aren't many who would have taken those shots better than he did imo.

    I know that there are people on here who will talk some **** about him for this fight, which is a real shame... because the guy is obviously world class, and not some overpaid hype job who hasn't proven anything yet. This guy really is proven, he's been in there with world class fighters, and he's ALWAYS held his own, in every single fight (yes he won a BS decision against Pac... but he still held his own and made it a competitive fight)... and apart from that fight (and maybe tonights fight) he has easily beaten all of his opponents!

    If this was Barrera or Morales we were talking about, i think everyone on here would be talking about what great heart, and what incredible courage they showed tonight. But nope.... Timmy doesn't get much respect on here, which is a damn shame because he def deserves some respect considering .A) Who he's beaten in the past. B) How well he did against Pac, who most considered the p4p #2 at the time. And C) What incredible heart & balls he showed tonight!

    So lets not pretend like he is some fraud who got exposed tonight... he just simply got caught flush with some bombs, and obviously didn't fight a smart fight at all for most of the fight.
    I for one have alot more respect for him after this fight... not because it was an exceptional performance skills wise, or because he beat anyone special tonight, but because he showed us a side to his character that we haven't seen that much of in the past... that he is an absolute warrior!

    Those shrugs and chin push ups he does obviously help a lot, he has a very good chin and look how weak his legs are, he has no punching power and can barely stand up at times. If he had strong legs he'd have incredible punch resistance. I rate his chin as an 8, if he did heavy squats he'd be unknockoutable.

    His Chin is like an 8... Provi isn't just a hard puncher like Maidana... He delivers his punches with actual skill... Even Matthysse's a bit of a slapper... Provi's punches are straight not only makes him more accurate, but makes his punches faster and stronger and it took 12 rounds for Bradley to take a knee...

    7-8 chin, his defense lets it get tested often. He gets stunned but his recovery is amazing.

    Whatever it was, I think it was knocked down a few points tonight. Bradley took getting hit worse than I've ever seen him. I'll need to see his next fight to know if this was an aberration or a trend, but it's definitely a red flag.

    They really are. Calzaghe-esque in that regard.

    That's why it was troubling to see the effects linger in him like they did. Tim can usually clear the cobwebs almost immediately, but Ruslan kept him in a fog for long stretches of time.

    For me he showed fantastic heart, but I wasn't overly impressed with the chin.

    chin is solid. he got cracked alot last night. way more then wut kendal holt or pacman did to him . then there was abregu who got him once or twice but nuttin major. his D isnt that great n when he gets hit he feels it alot. ill give his chin barely a 7. ton of heart tho. very strong mind that he can get through nething and takes pride in being such a tuff son of a gun n when the oppurtunity presents itself to prove how u can get him outta there he loves the challenge of gettin back up and comin back strong.
