Wow, do people seriously think that Provodnikov did better against Bradley than Pac?

    Marquez took your advice and planted his feet more firmly to the matt!

    I gave Bradley 2 rounds against Pac.
    I'd be very very VERY generous to give him 3.
    I'd be mighty stupid to give him 4, unless punching the arms is the new norm for scoring boxing fights now.

    That being said, no way did Provo did "better" in its strictest sense.
    Pac made Bradley look like a B class fighter on that night.
    Bradley was ducking low, holding on to dear life several times, and just running away from Pac the moment he felt the latter's power.
    If he fought similarly against Pac, then no way would he have lasted 6 rounds.
    I have to agree that Provo might have done a longer lasting damage on Desert Storm tho, but "better" overall is a bit of a stretch.

    If this is the case, then Pac did better against JMM since he did put him down several times whereas Mayweather only did once.

    Here we go again with ******* reviosionism. Right from the horse's mouth:

    Pacquiao said to philboxing.com [regarding Bradley] “I’m ready…To tell you honestly, I haven’t felt this good in the past several games we had before.”

    He hurt Bradley a lot more than Pacquiao, no doubt. I think even Roach said Provodnikov actually hits harder than Pacquiao. But this is also because Bradley didn't show as much respect, against Pacquiao he backed up the entire fight and at times ran, against Provodnikov he was a hell of a lot more aggressive...

    If you're more aggressive you're going to get hurt more, simple really.

    But saying Provodnikov did better is ludicrous consider Pacquiao won the fight 117-111 (116-112 if you really want to stretch the truth) in any reasonable person's eyes

    No question! A fighter like Marquez gets buzzed by Juan Diaz, and knocked down by Katsidis, and then does'nt even flinch to the incoming of Pacquiao in fight 3.

    The reason is Marquez having less respect for Dias and Kats, and opening himself more to be hit by incoming.

    Bradley fighting like he did last night against Pacquiao gets taken out on a stretcher.

    Pac won 8 or 9 rounds and it was a clear win. Anyone who thinks otherwise are too scarred by the volatile behaviour of *******s from a few years back.

    Ruslan damaged Bradley however. Pac didn't.

    He hurt Bradley more than Pacman did, but Manny was more in the fight in every round. I think Manny did better in a round scoring way. Provo hurt him in round one and I don't think Bradley recovered well.

    That is exactly how I scored it. After watching it twice I came to the same score both times and if I felt sorry for Bradley could have given him another round at most... guess we must be *******s Scar :patsch

    Depends on criteria. Pac landed way more punches and out-boxed Bradley, but Prov beat the living **** out of Tim and came very, very close to knocking him out on several occasions.
