Roy is such a horrible commentator some nights.

Seriously, Bradley got hurt by every clean shot, yet Roy is calling fantasy moments where he's saying Ruslan is more hurt. Wtf?

No rematch will happen. Arum wont allow it.

Bradley did exactly what I thought he would do, come in and try to KTFO Provodnikov giving him a chance to catch him early. That is exactly what he did land a game changer.

Bradley has great heart and he wanted to put on a show and prove himself, but he just fought foolishly early. After that, he was surviving the whole time.

Bradley will never be the same. He took too much punishment. Btw, he came in too heavy, too puffy.

I think he abandoned his vegan diet during training camps, I heard him talking about getting a steak after what was one of the open press workouts last week

The UD somehow left me feeling bad for both fighters. Still, got to see an awesome fight.

At one point he also said that Provodnikov wasn't hurting Bradley, even though Bradley was dancing on spaghetti legs at the time.

I can't feel bad for Ruslan; his stock went up massively tonight and the decision wasn't unjust.

Bradley won in my opinion , tough fight, Bradley got stunned many times, Ruslan should have worked body more . Great night of fights as good as PPV easily..

Interesting. He just did not look as healthy as his last few fights.

I think that was a KD in the first; bad call by the ref.
Should've been a draw.
I had no problem scoring the rounds, and it seems like pretty much everyone had it 7-5 Bradley except for Lederman and a couple people here.
Two KDs would've meant a draw.
Superb fight.

Round one should have been 10-8. I gave Provo what he deserved. That is why I had it 113-113.

Lol... He said that several times. Pretty crazy how much harder Provodnikov hits than Bradley. Bradley isn't a puncher but he can usually sting most fighters and he didn't come close to doing that to Ruslan. Roy kept bringing up Bradley's layoff but Provodnikov is coming off of one too from a shoulder injury. Horrible commentary and refereeing tonight. The fight was close enough for this to not be a robbery but the 1st round was a clear KD and if not you should still give Ruslan a 10-8 in there somewhere as well as the 12th, where the ropes held Bradley up, it looked like the ref didnt even want to count the kd when Bradley took it upon himself to take a knee and then he counted ridiculously slowly. I like Tim and all but he's been given some good treatment in the ring...

Absolutely. Best fight I've seen in a while and it was even more exciting because I was expecting a boring and one-sided fight.

I expected to land some good shots as I said earlier, he's a come forward guy and rugged, but didn't expect his punch to affect Bradley like that. I mean every damn shot shook Tim. Must've been concussed from the beginning as he stated. And that's not cool cos you can suffer permant brain damage if you take punishment while being concussed.

Prov clearly won the 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 12th; the 11th was close and I gave it to him too.

I'm not sure if I could give him any more rounds though.

I didnt keep up with my score but think it should've been 114-112 Ruslan or 113-113 draw and of course Bradley keeps the belt, but a loss for Ruslan? Close fight but that performance atleast earns him a draw. That shit wasn't a loss.

No.
Bradley clearly won the other 7, but I could see a 10-8 first for people who score those sans KDs, and one should've been called, so I think there's a very legit argument for a draw.
