Boxing: How did you score Bradley/ Provodnikov?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
I had it 114-113. I gave Provodnikov 1,2,6,11, and 12 (12 was ac10-8)

I scored it a draw, 113-113.

I gave the 1st, 2nd, 6th, 11th, and 12th to Provodnikov. I scored it pretty much the same as you did, except I gave Provodnikov a 10-8 round in the 2nd. IF a fighter thoroughly dominates a round, there does not have to be a knock down to score it 10-8. While watching it, I scored it a 10-8 in the 2nd round and then moments later Max Kellerman said the same thing I was thinking, that's a 10-8 round.

I think the referee should have counted the "slip" in the first round as a knock down also, as proven by Bradley almost going down again when he tried to get up. He was shaken. That was no slip.

In the 2nd round, with 23 seconds left, the ropes held Bradley up. That should have also counted as a knock down. The ref didn't count it as such. However, the round was so dominated by Provodnikov, that I gave him a 10-8 round.

The judges scored it pretty similar:

Judge Marty Denkin 114-113

Judge Jerry Cantu 114-113

Judge Raul Caiz Sr 115-112

I scored it 114-114, the slip in round 1 should have been counted as a knock down, but if it had, there would not be any controversy, or discrepancy in the scoring. Bradley was clearly hurt and thrashing all over the canvas, looking like the Apollo 11 astronauts walking on the moon, in 1969 .Provodnikov was really marked up from eating those left jabs and right hands of Bradley's, but he kept chugging forward. Bradley kept getting tagged again and again from Provodnikov's looping right hand that appeared to be loaded with granite. A great fight to watch.

Personally I felt Bradley scored more points, but Provodnikov was definitely the harder puncher and 30 seconds more he may have won with no question. I think a draw would have been better accepted.

I gave it to Ruslan by a slim margin

The Bottom Line was Ruslan hurt Bradley more than Bradley ever hurt Ruslan throughout the fight

well im not 100 percent sure how boxing is scored all i know is bradely was unconscious and in my sport mma hed of lost right there. i understand he landed more shots but theres no he won the acual fight he wast gunna hurt im and given a few more rounds hed of got knocked out cold. hes a good fighter and deserves credit its a shame he gets wins this way. and honestly i going into the fight i thought he should of fought a thougher opponenet. but once again im not sure i understand boxing i do understand fighting tho and bradely bot beat up

that fight proves.. Bradley is the Judges Champ...
