	In the final round, Bradley came out looking to box his way to a win, before a landed power punch from the challenger again drew him into an exchange. A right hand sent Bradley stumbling, and an accumulation, while backed into a corner, caused him to take a knee at 2:49 for a count of seven. The bell rang to end the fight before the two men could exchange any further.

 Timothy Bradley came into the fight with something to prove, and for two rounds it appeared it would cost him dearly.

 A straight right hand badly staggered Bradley in the opening round and seconds later he fell forward and went down from what was ruled to be a slip. Much of the same continued in round two with Bradley being caught again and, by the end of the round, the champion was backed against the ropes taking heavy punishment.
 Apparently this was enough to get Bradley to listen to his corner who implored him to stop trading punches and instead utilize his quality boxing skills. Over the next three rounds, the champion moved, worked nicely with a jab, and threw punches in flurries to gain rounds.

	Rounds seven through ten were strong ones for Timothy Bradley. In the eighth, a cut opened under Provodnikov's left eye from an accumulation of punches and in the ninth, Bradley's strongest, a slit opened to the eyelid of the same eye. The champion continued to pour it on in the tenth as it appeared Ruslan may be starting to fade. By the end of the round, Provodnikov's left eye was swollen and looking as though it could potentially bring a halt to the bout. Prior to the start of the eleventh, trainer Freddie Roach told his fight that if he didn't show him something, he would stop the fight.		Rounds seven through ten were strong ones for Timothy Bradley.
