Boxing Buzz: After a career defining win vs Manny Pacquiao, Timothy Bradley is fighting a relative unknown in Ruslan Provodnikov. Provodnikov is a come forward fighter who always delivers entertainment and, regardless of what the vegas odds are, is a real threat to Timothy Bradley and his undefeated record. By all accounts, Bradley has fought and beaten the better competition, but this is definitely a high risk low reward fight for him. I expect fireworks from the opening bell. Below are the tangibles;
Timothy Bradley:
AGE: 29
HEIGHT: 5’6” 168cm
REACH: 69” 175cm
STANCE: Orthodox
WEIGH IN: 146.6
RECORD: 29-0 (12KOS)

STANCE: Orthodox
WEIGH IN: 146.6
RECORD: 22-1 (15KOS)
KO %: 65.2%

2. Timothy Bradley received numerous death threats after defeating Manny Pacquiao
3. After selling out the MGM Grand in his last fight, Timothy Bradley will be fighting in the Home Depot Center in Carson California, a significant downgrade in opponent and venue.
