How was the Bradley-Provodnikov fight?

I read that Bradley actually impressed a lot of people.

Is this true? Did Provodnikov do alright or did he embarras himself? Do you think Bradley has reached the level where he would do good against Pacquiao... etc.

    Bradley showed a quality of his that's hardly seen in most of his early fights. In the Provodnikov fight, he showed that he can both be brilliant as well as vulnerable. To his credit, he showed that his whiskers are tougher than many suspect. Indeed, he absorbed some helluva punches from the nail-tough, hard-punching Russian but he managed to clear the cobwebs and outboxed Provodnikov until the penultimate round. However, he almost paid dearly for trying to gut it out against Ruslan in the final round as the Russian proved he could wiled the big sticks up to last moments of the fight.

    I think Bradley acquited himself very well, notwithstanding those scary moments.And I think his Provodnikod fight performance makes a title rematch versus Manny Pacquiao more exciting and marketable..

    brilliant fight.Fight of the Year so far.I won't spoil it too much but both men put on an amazing display of heart.Bradley had the russian beat in terms of skills but the russians power had bradley out on his feet more than once.

    it was like rocky 1 but better.slightly controversial decision in a very close fight.

    can't say whether he would do any better against pacquiao.i think if he fought pac the way he fought last night he would of been KO'd.it's like he came out to prove something.when he was out on his feet he didn't hold half as much as what he should have but instead kept fighting back.it was quite a mad thing to watch cus he fought like that at several stages of the fight.he was there for the taking but the russian didn't have the speed/skills to follow up with another shot.a lot of other fighters would have finished the job.you'l see what i mean when you watch it

    provodnikov and bradley did great, they both came out the first 2 rounds slugging it out but provodnikov got the better of it and dropped bradley but it was called a slip(at least i think i'm sure the ref saw it better)..then provodnikov slipped...then bradley dominated until the 12th round maybe 1 round in the middle could be given to provodnikov but bradley busted him up bad..a few times they both were staggered. last round bradley got dropped in the last few seconds and he kept a knee and took his time getting up..but looked ok. and time ran out when he got up. the end
