Timothy Bradley vs. Ruslan Provodnikov Full Fight



Bradley won a close unanimous decision against Ruslan Provodnikov on March 16, 2013 for the WBO Welterweight Championship. Provodnikov was given the fight to serve as an easy target for Bradley, who was looking for a confidence booster after a controversial fight with Manny Pacquiao.

Bradley came out on the attack mode early, fighting in an uncharacteristically aggressive fashion. Provodnikov made him pay, tagging him with hard shots in the first round, and staggering him in the second.

Bradley said after the fight he was concussed by a shot Provodnikov hit him with in the first round.Bradley boxed more conservatively as the fight wore on, winning most of the middle rounds. In the last round, Provodnikov had Bradley hurt badly again but Bradley took a knee with just seconds remaining, and was able to beat the count, hanging on to win the fight on points. Bradley was impressed by Provodnikov's power and said "he's going to be a world champion someday."
