    Can't believe how disrespectful some fans are. Two great fights and people make threads complaining about it? Ridiculous.

    Timmeh would get better crowds if he could fight in Ontario at Citizens Bank, nobody in LA cares about a dude from deep Riverside County. Too bad for him that AEG owns that arena

    Who said Ruslan had no chance?lol I gave bradley the edge coming in but tough fight as expected.Still laughing at those thinking Bradley was going to run through him or pick apart.Somebody call Marquez to collect his belt(I smell a Jmm clinic).Marquez skools pac in third fight,puts him to sleep in 4th bradley goes life & death vs pac/Ruslan yet he ends up with the belt :lol:.How does that work??..Only in Boxing smh.

    Prov shouldn't have techically won. Bradley outlanded him by a mile. Bradley landed more combinations. That said, Prov obviously landed the majority of the harder more damanging punches. Bradley didn't exactly "sit" on the ropes. he was wobbled, concussed, dizzy, whatever you wanna call it and leaned back on the ropes. He was out on his feet but he didn't go down.

    fights like that are hard to judge, because Bradley was very active in the first two minutes of the round before he was rocked. if you treat each minute equally, 10-9 is likely the correct score. today's boxing judging standards are very weighted on whether there is a knockdown. and the HBO guys each give their opinion, which is usually different from one guy to another. (Lederman had it a draw, Kellerman said 10-8 first round because Bradley was rocked so hard, Steve Weisfeld then came in and noted how close the round was before Bradley was rocked and thus 10-9 was appropriate) it's all subjective and each of us has our own criteria on how a fight should be scored.

    what i find so fascinating though is just how debatale boxing scoring always is. just look at the differences between the HBO analyst when it comes to scoring rounds vs the official judges.

    Congratulations to Timmy on winning that fight. No one can say he is not a warrior. He went deep into the well tonight. I really loved his body punching. I had is 114-113 for the other guy, but I can why Timmy got the nod. This was a remarkable fight. Definately the best this year so far.

    Your just talking. And by that I mean not even believe what you just said. This is the second time I've Bradley come back from the dead and pull out the victory. His chin is adimantium. His heart is too. Garcia? Lucas? Zab? Broner? Paulie? Really? What have any of these cats done that makes you think they can beat Bradley? Yeah he looked beatable tonight. How bout those other 28 fight? Lucas lost legit to Zab and my vcash the same thing happens to Garcia next month. Paulie I love but lets be realistic and broner and zab both get pressed on till they crumble. Now the **** drinking Mexican? That's the one that gets the job done.

    The HBO analysts score fights as if they are fans, and you can tell by the way they talk about the fighters pretty much how they will score it. They are very biased. Showtime is better in this right.

    Don't ever follow compubox. Just don't.

    I scored a 114-114 draw, but I scored round 6 10-10 which never happens in boxing but I couldn't pick a winner that round.

    I am a Bradley supporter. I can't wait to watch this. I couldnt live. AFN onlyy showed the UFC card. It was disappointing, other than the Condit fight!!!
