I was happy with the scoring. The judges saw a close fight that Bradley won and I am cool with that.

Got newfound respect for Bradley after tonight. He's got a chin & damn sure has heart. Good for him.

Great job by the Russian too.

Ruslan moves Bradley with every punch including jabs yet Roy is saying that Bradley is hurting Ruslan. What the fukk is he talking about?

Roy wasnt that off-base. HE was calling it from a fighters perspective. Most of those shots werent "hurting" Bradley, if you look close you could see the ones that were hurting him. Dont confuse staggering with hurting. Every shot did move Bradley and make him stagger, but the dude had NO LEGS. Like Roy said, any shot that Ruslan landed on the chin definitely hurt him. The dude had no legs and a concussion, he has a chin and a heart but not that much if every one of those shots were hurting him. If they were he wouldve been stopped. Was he hurt a lot of times? fukk yeah, but every shot that made him wobble didnt necessarily hurt him.

Never thought it would be a fight like that. shyt was :wow:

Great fights but two Top rank robberies kills the feel for me, always some fukkery with top rank cards, at least we'll know there be a rematch:beli:





SN: Hopefully Arum doesnt try to put the russian in there with Manny

One entertaining fight out of 30 is the definition of sucking in today's boxing world where you are measured by how big of a draw you are.
Unless Bradley makes the decision to fight the rest of his career like he did in the first two rounds of this fight he will continue to be a fighter that no one gives two fukks about.

IF Bradley fights like that from here out he wont be around for anyone to give a fukk. Like I have said before...his speed, power, boxing ability, etc are all average or slightly above but not elite. His best attributes are his conditioning, chin, and will. That has earned him some paydays but his days are numbered when he meets a fighter with as much will as him but the skill to match. Ruslan had equal will but not greater skill.

That was a great toe to toe war props to Bradley for standing and trading although that final bell saved his ass, but fighting that type of style doesn't suit him. That performance might entice a big name to fight him which is what he wants, but he took a beating tonight.
