What channel is this fight on? Or is it only via the net? I did a quick google search but couldn't get a definitive answer.

Thanks

Bradley I wins 12 round shut out.

Of all the top 10 p4p fighters, Bradley is the least respected.

Besides two fights with Manny, he has won every fight, and has done so clearly.
He got roughed up by Provodnikov, but he scored a clear win.
Clearly beat JMM. How many guys do that?

It's on HBO in the States. I assume allegedly will pick it up in the U.K.

Bradley will win at least 9 rounds out of 12 I think.

Rios has been fighting guys to make him look better than he is, don't be fooled, Bradley is going to make Brandon look slow as hell and cruise to a ud unless he goes in Provo mode which is the only chance that Rios has for a win, don't think it will happen

I agree.

Bradley doesn't get the respect he deserves in my opinion and it seems to me like there is still backlash from the first Manny fight.

I don't see it as a complete shutout, expect Rios will provide Bradley with some tough moments during the fight. Bradley should win U.D like 9 rounds to 3.

How exactly... by outboxing him

Providnikov is tougher, bigger, more powerful man with a ton more heart. He out-Rios'es Rios in every way.

Bradleys going to go back to a defensive style and give him a boxing lesson, will probably win most rounds but always a risk that bradley wil get caught and would start to brawl and act macho again. I think at some stage in the fight that will happen but he'd get slapped by his new trainer and would get made to box again.

Bradley on points

I bet he can also drink more tequila than Rios

uhhhhh no he didn't. algieri outlanded provo like 10-1 and provo threw
onlylike 3 punches some rounds and you were giving them to provo that night.
i remember how silly that was. throw some punches at least if you want to claim
you won a fight. alvarado is provo's best win on his record.

that's why provo's corner kept telling him between rounds they wanted to stop
the fight to save him from that hellacious beating? rios lands every punch he
throws all night and provo probably retires after.
this is what some call provo walking through an opponent

Provodnikov is not bigger than Rios not just height but overall.

Rios would out Provodnikov- Provodnikov his body attack is bettter, he's a better power puncher(Provodnikov ko power is overrated big time )and his a better defense.

Rios actually rolls with shots Provodnikov just literally stands still.

The American hate here is strong.

Rios fuucks up Provodnikov no doubt in my mind.

1. Matthysse is significantly quicker in foot and hand than Rios, a better boxer, and hits harder.
2. Tell me 1 other fight Matthysse has boxed on the back foot instead of coming forward, other than Provodnikov.

Let's not act like Rios can box, or can hit harder than Provodnikov. He's as static as a potato, slow as a snail but can take a punch, which in a fight with Provodnikov, wouldn't be such a good trait.

not a good trait against provo, who is more static than said potato, slower
than said snail, and who has taken WAY more big punches than he should
in his career compared to mr snail-potato? rios moves on his feet and moves
his head to avoid punches and steps to the side after exchanges MUCH more
than provo, and puts his punches together MUCH better than provo, hits at least
as hard as provo, takes a punch at least as well as provo...
don't get me wrong. i think this is a good fight. i just think your hero worship
of provo and disrespect of rios is ridiculous and bears no resemblance to what
they actually bring into the ring. rios > provo.

rios doesnt even train hard

There is simply no way Rios hits anywhere near as hard as Provodnikov.

Bradley will easily win every second vs Rios but after months of slurred speech he wouldn't dream of rematching Ruslan.

Provodnikov would kill Rios. He would be landing all night.

he is a very impressive boxer and man. I've been a little worried about how he seems to 'go' a bit when whacked hard but imagine it's natural, he's been in with some excellent fighters.

bradley would fight anyone if the reward was right, and wouldn't think twice about fighting provo.
if bradley fought provo again, he would win every second of every round. bradley's last 4 opponents
since provo would also beat provo, 2 of whom also fought rios. rios was tied on the cards with
chavez who was dq'd and went 12 rounds with pac as a heavybag and never close to going
down, so how ridiculous is it for someone to claim provo is going to do something to rios that
pac couldn't? pac would rip provo to shreds. provo's face is literally made out of a magnetic material
that attracts leather.

Because styles make fights. Pac landed little clean shots on Rios because Rios made like a tortoise and shelled up. He's been hit more by lesser fighters than Pac because he hasn't given them the same respect. If he traded with Provo like Matthysse did early on, he'd be on his bike, like Matthysse.

Luck?

He schooled Vargas for 11 rounds. And clearly beat Chaves and got screwed with a draw. Luck?
