Bradley survived vs Provodnikov mostly because Provodnikov tired out after round 2 and basically got out boxed and dominated in rounds 3-11 I think Lucas is quite capable of hurting Bradley bad and not failing to end it I dont think Bradley is where he was a few years ago
I'm pretty sure there were rounds in 3-11 were Provodnikov got a second wind and pounded Bradley like he just eaten the last raw moose liver. Might have to watch the fight again. Matthysse also got tired against Provodnikov and while Bradley has no where near the punching power of Provodnikov, he can still make Matthysse tired by making him chase and swing and a-miss. If Bradley fights smart, he wins this (Matty will still make it very tough). If it's a firefight...well yeah...But until Bradley gets KTFO, I'm leaning on his recovery to save him and his skills to get him through.
