| Nacho Would Tell Marquez To Reject Timothy Bradley
|
|
By Miguel Rivera Trainer Nacho Beristain has no desire to see his fighter, four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez (55-6-1, 40KOs), face WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (29-0, 12KOs). Last June, Bradley captured the title with a controversial twelve round split decision victory over Manny Pacquiao. A few months later, on December 8th, Marquez knocked out Pacquiao in the sixth round. If Marquez decides to continue his career in 2013, the probable scenario is a fifth fight with Pacquiao in September. Another possible scenario, that Marquez has personally discussed in recent interviews, is the pursuit of a fifth divisional crown. If Marquez wants a fifth world title, then a fight with Bradley, the other boxer to beat Pacquiao, would seem like a natural match to make. In past interviews, Nacho has rejected the possibility of Marquez facing Bradley. The trainer's position is still the same. He doesn't like Bradley's fighter style. Nacho is confident their styles would make for a very ugly fight. "I have never liked Bradley [as a possible opponent] and I don't know if I can be leveraged in any way to convince my top fighter [to face him]. We would search for an opponent who would [be exciting], and give the people of Mexico everything that they deserve. A fight with Timothy Bradley would be a stinking fight and I wouldn't like to see my top pugilist in that type of fight, and present something like that to the people who have supported Juan Manuel since he was a six round fighter," Nacho said.

[QUOTE=B-Bomber]I am surprised to see so many people completely disregard such simple factors as age and style.
JMM is 40, if you put a 40 y.o man in the ring with somebody as slick and fast as Bradley(28-29yo), you can very well expect an extremely difficult fight. Tim is well rounded, can fi... |

If Marquez just waits for a Pacquiao rematch in September or something, than fine. I understand that, it's a huge payday once again.
But if he doesn't know about Pac-JMM V (for gods sake) and than fights another tune up, instead of Bradley, I mean what the hell??? |

what Nacho means by this is, he thinks Bradley is a stylistic problem and doesn't fancy his chances of devising a solution.
understandable. |
| Nacho Is Exactly Right; Bradley Won't Fight, Bradley Got Drummed By Pacquiao

Bradley is a bad fight because he won't fight. He's falling all over the place to get away from his opponent, he doesn't stand and fight, and he doesn't even stick and move. The guys (Bradley) just doesn't fight at all, UNLESS your name is Devon Alexander, and you don't throw a punch, and you're... |
