Bradley vs Provodnikov RBR & Vargas vs Omotoso

Seriously can't believe he made it to the end of the fight. Trying to remember the last time someone spent so much time in a fight out on their feet. Much respect to Timmy.

 

Yep as much as Ruslan did a lot of good he was handed those openings by Bradley who stayed in touch to long in that first round. He felt he had a point to prove and also has the alpha male about him.

He accepted he wasn't stronger part the way through fight and that's when he won fight by outboxing Provodnikov.

In rematch you'd fancy one of those quieter rematches with the middle rounds being pretty much the pattern of the fight. Ruslan's got a lot of room for improvement. Decent fighter but tonight did Aram world of good it's inflated a decent fighter into a viable contender for a big fight in this tournament..

 

ruslan will feel sick in the morning. Lack of experience cost him the fight. Do you think if Rios is in there that Bradey sees the 3rd round. I don't. Bradley was a good two/three punch combination from going on a number of occasions

 

yep, would love to see ruslan in there with rios/alvarado/jmm. He's won me over big time ruslan, didn't think too much of him before this fight. ****ing approaching 5, time for bed.

 

was it the 3rd he just shut down and did nothing ??

that round could have decided the fight knockdown, stoppage or just nicked the round but he did nothing

 

Spunked his load so to speak mate. He was so tired after two rounds throwing the kitchen sink at Bradley and also taking punishment i think he couldn't get anything going.

How Bradley boxed the way he did at that pace throughout is unreal..

 

Think he'd punched himself out mate.

 

yeh i put down to bein knackered at the time then he kept goin for the rest of the fight no problem

bradley was class until he decided to have a tear up i think he had been told to be entertaining judging by the interview at the end

 

Rios would eat him up him. Ruslan isn't a top level fighter at all as we have seen by his Friday Night Fight performances. I give Bradley credit tonight for winning but elite guys would have squashed him with ease.

 

He's not a big welterweight at all. Timmy is just a wee one! That was his first fight at the weight and he didn't show that power before down at 140 lbs. I think that raises questions about Timmy tbh.
Rios is an excellent finisher unlike Provodnikov. Ruslan had Brads hurt plenty but just couldn't close the show.

 

I can't believe I missed this goddamn fight.
