    Bradley is one of my favorite fighters. Dude has a chin of steel. No, of diamond. Provodnikov couldn't knock him out. Pacquiao couldn't knock him out. He straight up outboxed Marquez, outslugged Ruslan to the point where Roach was about to call off the fight!!!

    Bradley is still top 5 P4P. I really hope the fight with Cotto happens. It begs the question, if you can't knock Bradley out, how do you win!? The dude only has 1 loss!!!

    It was an absolutely great fight. I really, really hope that both boxers got payed well in this. I am not really someone who appreciates Bradley's general style but the dude is a warrior.

    I personally thought that he seemed kinda out of it for weeks after the fight, he somehow had strange eyes and a strange view, looked like he saw the other side

    Out on his feet for 12 rounds and still wins. Pretty impressive

    for our generation of fighters it was probably the most outrageous display of "back & fourth" in a ring at the championship level.

    It was great to to watch but at the same time a shame he won by going that route, i only say that because if he has any lasting effects from thsi fight it would be bad.

    They should make a movie about it called, "I Boxed with a Zombie".

    Bradley has a ton of heart, great fighting spirit (thats why I think Brad vs Khan would also be a great match up).

    Still think he lost vs Prov though.

    One does not simply knock Timothy Bradley out.

    A chin of diamond, indeed :think Apparently hard, but fragile in the end.

    He got hurt by every single punch Provodnikov landed clean. Provodnikov's punches didn't have the same effect on any other boxer, apart the early can of his career.

    Algieri took his bombs without flinching.

    Paquiao, too, hurt Bradley badly every time he landed a good clean punch, and that was rare.

    When Paquiao unleashed that 10 punches combination when he was on the ropes, Bradley said every time Paquiao hit him he saw a flash of light, there were flashes eveywhere.

    Bradley's chin is decent, that's it. When he fought Marquez he was always on his backfoot, running away and keeping the distance.

    If he really had that iron of a chin, he would have tried to hurt him, or to impress. He never even tried.

    If Provodnikov wasn't that big of a bum, he would have, in the first 3 rounds. Bradley was literally a punch away from being sparked out for half the fight.

    Provodnikov couldn't land on a drunken opponent. Look at the tapes. He alway throws the same punches, in the same sequence. The most automatic and predictable ducks and movements leave him baffled and swining to thin air.

    There's a moment in wich he hurt Bradley with a single left hook. Bradley stumbles to the ropes. Provodnikov is there, a mere foot from him, and he throws the same combination 4 times in a row. Left hook, right hook. He pauses, surprised, because Bradley saw that coming from a mile even with crossed eyes, and simply lazily ducked to his left.
    Provodnikovs throws hit away.
    Bradley still just ducks to the left, while standing on the same spot.
    Provodnikov is surprised. "How can i hit him, if he doesn't stand perfectly still and upright?" "This isn't how the heavy bags i train with behaves. Strange. Is this even legal?"
    Again. And again.

    And then people were surprised when Malignaggi predicted Algieri to embarrass Provodnikov :patsch

    Anyone with the most basilar skills can boxe Provodnikov's ears off.
    His power punches aren't a problem even when you stand still in front of him.

    It definitely was exciting. I'm not sure why anyone would stand and exchange like that with Provodnikov. Chris Algieri figured out that puzzle.
