Timothy Bradley vs. Ruslan Provodnikov & Jessie Vargas vs. Oyewale Omotoso RBR

His chin is not terrible, if it was he wouldn't of seen the third round. Those shots he took from Ruslan would of knock out any other fighter. Bradley just fought the wrong fight.

 

Also, he took way too much punishment in this fight. His technical defense must be called into question. Why he was repeatedly getting hot with looping hooks and hook/uppercuts... I've got no idea.

Let's keep things in perspective though... Prov is a JWW fighting at 147 for the first time. This should've been a stroll through the park for Bradley. Should have been.

 

Well just so you guys know JMM just said a couple of days ago he is done with Pac and wants Bradley or Rios next. sounds like this will intrigue him to choose Bradley.

 

I admit I am biased and just don't like him as a fighter. WW is a weak division right now, and Timmy may be the best champion, but he may not be better than Guerrero.

I think Garcia may be able to beat him. Peterson is a bit better, too. Alexander, depending doesn't have the mindset to beat Timmy.

I'm just hating, so don't mind me.

 

Bradley doesn't need to fight again until early next year.

 

I scored the fight for Bradley, 7-5 rounds, 114-113 points. I gave Provodnikov the 1st, 2nd, 6th, 11th, and 12th, differing only from Lederman in the 11th, which I thought was the only difficult round to score. This fight surely won Bradley legions of new fans, and probably more big fights, but he won't last long with this style, especially with his lack of power. Not even sure why he fought so many rounds that way, it seemed he was doing it just to prove wrong all the critics from the Pac fight. He had his best success fighting from distance, not that he was very effective doing it, just that Provodnikov took so many rounds off. It all culminated in the 12th, and I could not believe Bradley was trading with Provodnikov in the 12th, it was reckless and stupid, and almost cost him the fight. Bottom line, I'd love to see both of these fighters again, but while this is probably the style that best suits Provodnikov (more so if he sticks with Roach), it is a terrible fit for Bradley, and will cut his career short if he sticks with it.

 

Solid win for GSP.


Bradley needs to be medically assesed, he then needs a minimum of 6 months off, and needs to maintain his weight better this time.

 

He's taken lots of punishment in his last two fights. Pacquio whipped his ass, too. Tim was really hurt this time, thought. He was shaken and stirred in lots of rounds.

 

a bunch of idiot fans getting mad because a late knockdown is supposed to win you the fight, learn to score please

 

The guy ate NUMEROUS flush shots, right on the button, from a MONSTROUS puncher, and kept finding a way to come back. His recovery rate is absolutely ludicrous..and recovery is a critical part of the chin category.

 

Prov did almost KO'd him, MANY times. If not for Timmy's heart, he'd be a laughing stock right now (rounds 1, 2, and 6 he almost went). Props to Timmy on that. manny didn't hurt Bradley anywhere near like Prov did. Styles make fights though. And Timmy coming off ~10 months ring rust?

 

Buddy, I'm sure that's a typo.

 

Nah... he really didn't
Timmy won the fight no controversy.
