"We had a different gameplan in the Provodnikov fight. I came to take him out. I decided not to listen to my trainer. I know I can't do that in this fight (against Juan Manuel Marquez). I won't make the same mistake again."
"I've been in the ring with Pacquiao. So has he. Of course Marquez has more experience than I do. He's been in the ring with everybody... But I've always figured out a way to win. Even when I'm hurt." - Tim Bradley, June 2013

I like Bradley in this fight especially after hearing him recognize that he cant fight Marquez the same way he fought Provodnikov. He is a class fighter and it will take one to beat Marquez. Tim gets alot of hate from the pac fight but it wasnt his fault.
JJM may get outoxed & out manoeuvred by the younger man but I dont see him quitting. He isnt cut from that cloth. The only sticky point is the drug testing which JMM appears to be avoiding but if he does agree to the terms I expect a good 12 round fight with Tim winning not by the margins Floyd beat JMM by but still fairly comforatble. Around 116-112
I have a ton of respect for Timothy Bradley throughout his whole career he has fought great fighters and has had really good performances and the stuff he showed vs Provodnikov was something truly special.
I respect Marquez, but Bradley's frentic style, while powerful punching wise, is a lot of volume for an older fighter to take. But I think Bradley lost something in the Provodnikov fight. I'll pick Marquez, to win a close, but clear UD.
I like marquez but I think bradley is a bad style match for the 38 year old marquez. marquez needs someone to come at him. i feel he will have trouble with bradley's movement.
i know people will say that he didn't have trouble with pac's but pac is very aggressive while bradley can be defensive if he wants to.
"always find a way to win"
Code for Papa Arum bribed the judges again and anything short of blasting Bradley with a canon and then burning his corpse is a SD win for him.
Don't be such a damned fool- if you can help it.
Chaleeeee... ese Bradley se cre muy chingon, no mames.
Marquez le va partir la madre guey.
LOL
Can't wait for this fight! Idk who's takin it but it's goin to be a goowon
