Tim Bradley vs Ruslan Provodnikov | ON THIS DAY FREE FIGHT | 2013 FIGHT OF THE YEAR |

[@richb5477]

Both men showed a tremendous amount of grit! Great fight.

[@sirvandovargas1182]

Awesome fight, brutal. Both are experienced , well trained fighters. With big hearts.

[@user-zv8pr4je4g]

How the hell did Bradley survive that? The guy is nuts staying in the pocket looking like a drunk and swinging for the fences trying to counter.

[@NeroDrum011]

Survived?😂😂😂 The wobbly legs won the fight and he was two times KO

[@dillathekilla3110]

Not only survive, but to bloody win as well?! 🤔 judges watching like 🙈

[@starfox8006]

This one of the best fights I ever watched back then.

[@superjoseco7279]

Bradley doesn't drink alcohol, but if he wants to get drunk, all he has to do is fight Provodnikov.

[@spencer8173]

As much any fight I've ever seen, this one deserved a rematch

[@pelle4971]

A banger. Bradley had the Holyfield-like ability to return fire while being semi-conscious. Unfortunately, it took years from both fighters' lives. Ruslan said it was the first time he had pissed black at the urine test after the fight, and Bradley said in an interview that he had headaches and blurred speech for a month. Provodnikov is a monster and Bradley has the heart of a lion. One of those fights you can watch over and over again.

[@818deadboys]

The fight that got me into boxing. (First fight I watched all the way through anyways)

[@HiperMiranda]

Provodnikov Ruslan commented on this fight by saying that he was incredibly happy that he was given such an opponent. He approached the fight as the most important thing in life and was ready to die in the ring. That is why they don’t like such opponents; in this fight Bradley lost a little of his health)))

[@Neo-Midgar]

Same dude, same. It was the buildup to Marquez vs Bradley, and they played this right after a little vignette about the upcoming fight, plus showing Marquez flooring Pacman. And then right after this fight, I saw Provodnikov beat the snot out of Mike Alvarado for the championship. It was like real life Rocky. That magic moment in time turned me from a nerd with a lifelong fringe interest to full on obsessed with learning about the sweet science. I still adore the sport, but I struggle to watch it because the promoters are killing it.

[@TheLongWind]

Outside of big hyped fights this is the best match I've ever watched live.

[@DeanDangerousTDD7]

This is one of the most intense boxing matches I ever saw. The crazy thing was, back then I had no idea who Ruslan Provodnikov even was. So I was totally caught off guard once the action started. I know who Ruslan Provodnikov is now though, that's for sure.

I don’t disagree with you. But he did take a lot of rounds off after the 2nd. Didn’t turn it up again till the last 3 rounds

[@bryandungee1029]

No he didn’t… he was stupid and shot his load in the 1st two rounds!!! After that, all he did was have 1 or 2 moments each round… Bradley easily outboxed him every sec between Ruslyn rounds

[@Abraxas.Ouroboros]

I disagree with the both of you. What many people fail to forget is that boxing is a point scoring system. It truly isn’t subjective, for anyone who argues otherwise. Although Bradly out scored Provodnikov, I would preferred to be Provodnikov and not Bradly because clearly, more damage was inflicted on Bradly. But truth be told, Bradly won, fair and square.

[@kevinstandow2943]

I remember this classic on the edge of your seat fight, Bradley had said in the second time he was out on his feet near Bob Arum side of the ring that the last punch on the right side of his head actually woke him up and cleared him up , Probably centered his brain for my lack of a better explanation, I do remember that and awhile later his trainer Joel Diaz wouldn’t work with him as he noticed early slurring and other symptoms of that war and Bradley took time away to be very fortunate and heal to compete again ! Hey guys watch the tough Russian warrior battle Lucas Mattysee ( spelled wrong) but you’ll find it, Great war also , loved boxing since I was a kid and miss how showtime and HBO and Top Rank and USA Fight nights really had the formula down during that era , They could learn today much from it.

Man I'm so tired of the whole boxing scene cause so many Boxers have been cheated out of Wins that it's just Crazy. Clearly Ruslan hit Bradley with two Rights which he had a clear delayed reaction to,then fell down from those hits and this old ass Ref said it was a slip but when Bradley tried to get up he falls down again..any Ref with common sense should've known he was added and should've been given a standing eight count. Ruslan won that fight period..just like Pacquiao beat Bradley..I'm sick of this BS!

[@mulamula5776]

He said it was a slip because Bradley tried to clinch and Providnikov pushed him down. You’re not allowed to do that in boxing. Ruslan lost. You need to learn how to actually score fights buddy 😂

Had it 8-4 Bradley. 115-112. It's crazy how much more damage Provodnikov did, but still couldn't win on points. Even if Provodnikov got credit for that knockdown in round 1, which in my opinion he should have, I'd still have Bradley up 114-112. Boxing's scoring methodology sometimes doesn't feel right. Bradley won it, but I would MUCH rather have been Provodnikov that night. Bradley took outrageous damage in a few of those rounds.
