Provodnikov should be undefeated

C'mon folks, Provodnikov marched like a zombie throwing 15 punches all round for a good 5 rounds of the Bradley fight. He lost half the rounds in one sided fashion and Bradley did win a couple of the action packed rounds.

Provodnikov vs. Herrera was a toss up sort of decision. No robbery. No clear win... by either fighter.

 

I think he threw the Bradley fight away, there was numerous rounds where he did very little in that where even just one more round would have gave him the win on my scorecard *if you count the Kd). I am a big fan though.

Provodnikov vs. Herrera was real close, i had Prod winning but its what work you prefer really in that fight and i preferred Prod's aggression and meatier shots.

 

The Bradley fight was close, don't act like Provodnikov only won the knockdown rounds.
And i gave Ruslan no chance when the fight was announced, i thought Bradley might stop him after he turned him into a bloody mess.

 

It's not technically a knockdown...

But with Bradley so hurt with the ropes holding him up the Ref could have easily stepped in (NO QUESTION & probaly should have) and given Bradley a count therefore making it a 10-8 round to Ruslan.

Honestly was shocked the ref didn't step in to give a count & shocked how Bradley didn't touch canvas lmao.

 

:good Pretty classy and honest fighter.

 

I thought Prov lost the Herrera fight but beat Timmy. There were 2 rounds you could have called 10-8 rounds for Prov even without the knockdown. Tim was basically out on his feet. Neither were robberies.

 

Bradley-Provo remains a classic.

 

Provodnikov is a human punching bag and nothing more. Bradley won that fight.

 

:roflrofl:|

Provo is a great fighter. In a rematch I'll take Provo.

 

he did show never give attitude which is needed but he also to his detriment showed a fairly week chin an bad recovery skill. he never fully recovered from round 1 and admitted he doesnt remember anything from round 3 on but i ethink it was blank from round 1 on..

he better not get hurt anywhere near that against paq
4/5 instances the ref would stop it if it were paq. no standing 8, refs most of the time just stop it when a standing 8 is all that needed...

i did think timmie had a good chance but going back to this fight makes me think he has no chance what so ever

 

Bradley went down twice from one punch in the first the fight should have been automatically called right there but that biased ref did even credit Provodnikov with a KD.

People who thought Herrera won their fight are either guys who nuthug Latin fighters or hate on earstwhile Soviet fighters or both.

 

Yeah, Provodnikov was cheated by Bradley's referee, Hell, Bradley was knocked down, then went down again, a clear knockdown no doubt about it. Then Provodnikov left Bradley on the canvas. Provodnikov won the fight and everyone knows it. Plus, who would you have wanted to be at the end of the fight? Bradley had brain damage, was in very bad shape for several months. I have crooked referees and judges...............
