Could Provodnikov have gotten the KO if he picked his shots with Bradley on ropes?

Absolutely. Bradley was ready to go... so close. In fact, he was on ***** street pretty much the entire fight. Provodnikov made a major mistake by punching himself out in the second round.

One thing he should have done is blasted the body, because Bradley was stationary and moving his head like a madman, but his body was there for the taking because the body doesn't move.

With some good body head combos and more well placed shots, Bradley would have been ktfo.

As it is, Bradley is very lucky to have survived the full 12. At the end there he would not have lasted another minute. In a 15 rounder Bradley would have been ****ed.

Not taking anything away from Bradley, though. I think he did deserve the decision but it was a close, very entertaining match.

 

Maybe. He got really wild when bradley was against the ropes and missed like 4 haymakers in a row.

 

Yeah I fully Agreed...I'm not a Expert But I always thought the First thing any fighter should do when his is Opp is Hurt and on the Ropes is go for the Body, let him Drop his guard and Then go for the head but most Important pick ur shots and Not punch yourself out!!!

 

Thought he blew it in the 2nd and the 12th. More so in the 2nd. He had huge chances and sort of lost his composure. Bradley was so lost an open it was amazing he survived. Bradley did take some shots when already badly hurt so credit to him here. I still think Ruslan could've finished it in that 2nd round. He needed to fight the clinch better from Bradley in the 12th. He was buzzed and weakly grabbed on and Ruslan easily could've forced his way out of it.

 

Yes sir, bodyshots, and uppercuts
