funny how ppl give garcia **** for the herrera fight...but herrera gets a pass for the provodnikov fight.
Bradley went in to make a statement and got drilled, he did better in a few middle rounds but Bradley always fights like that. his ONLY totally different performance was against the wicked old jmm because he knew his chin sucks and knew jmm was old and couldn't really move that well. chaves beats Bradley pretty easily, by tko. lots on here will be shocked but I expect it 100%
2nd half of the fight was all Algeri. Tho Bradley was hurting Prov pretty bad, Roach on the verge of stopping it, people seem to forget about that. Prov abandoned his body attack and went headhunting, missing badly, and frustrated easily by Algeri. So it seems Algeri was more in control when he was winning rounds. Bradley the warrior almost stopped Prov, but in the process almost got stopped himself. Many a referee might of stopped that fight in favor of Prov. No fight out there for Bradley more enticing than that Prov rematch.
Thats only if that dumbass Chaves doesn't get himself DQ'd. That fight should be called Headbutts vs Eye gouges lol.
Bradley and Algieri got more credit for surviving provodnikov than provodnikov got for beating the crap out of them. The Herrera fight was awsome.
In terms of clarity, Bradley > Algieri > Corley > Herrera. Anyone feeling sorry for Provodnikov for the Herrera outcome (arguing he "should" be undefeated) need only watch his own gift decision vs Chop Chop.
Provodnikov is nothing but an overhyped plodder. P4P he's not even on the level of an Arthur Abraham, so what does it matter?
didn't see the Herrera fight. between algieri and Bradley, I thought Provo beat Bradley. algieri-provo could have gone either way.
The scorecards were considerably worse than any in Provodnikov's "robbery" losses, and he was no more the rightful victor in that fight (and most certainly wasn't the right guy for sure) than Herrera was in their bout, despite whatever kvetching you and others may do about how he should be undefeated.
