A lot of people thought a lot of JMM's punches were landing when they weren't. I want to counter the claim that Bradley isn't a technical boxer by posting .gifs of these moments.

I remember this moment ion particular. Bradley avoided a flurry of punches, maybe one might have landed. To stay clear he leaps back to the ropes. However, during the fight the crowd roared as if JMM landed and knocked Bradley back. Bradley walks out after, clearly unharmed.

Here Bradley feints to set up the right, already predicting JMM's shot and going under.

Huge exchange here, but look closely and not many are actually landing on either side. Bradley edged it though.

Now here's Bradley almost blatantly going in for a head butt. However, watch how he enters. JMM throws pretty much four punches and since this one is in slow mo clearly see not a single one lands.
now show me what Bradley landed other than an occasional jab or some weak counter. anything powerful? NOpe.
Keywords you spoke; Bradley Landed. The whole fight Brad looked confident, in control, and made it look easy as hell to me. JMM looked desperate and out of control. Even when he landed, his punches were coming from a desperate man that was just searching for something. That alone made it a white wash to me. I dont judge based on affective blows. Its all about who is relaxed, confident, in control, and who looks hopeless, and panicked. Bradley dominated this damn fight based on that alone!
I saw so much of Hopkins in Bradley that night
Nah it looked kind of like Floyd vs JMM. Bradley was much more smoother with his footwork, and finess. Bradley can f.king BOXXX his azz off!! He looked smooth as hell. If he had some flashy speed, it would look better.Floyd vs JMM had that Roy Jones type of feel to Mayweather!!
Tim boxed beautifully, ran away a little in the end, but landed that huge hook in the 12th that rock marquez to seal the deal.
People that keep thinking marquez won are the same people that think marquez won all 4 fights vs pac. Just being biased, not open minded. Bradley clearly won the fight, marquez just couldnt get to him and land his big right
lol at these gifs, they basically tell how close this fight was since nobody really did anything substantial
Most of the .gifs show Bradley slipping punches and JMM getting hurt.
Lol that headbutt rocked Marquez. You are correct though. Bradley slipped a lot of JMM's punches especially in the first half of the fight. He also caught a bunch on his shoulders. JMM started to find a home for his punches late in the fight.
On the other side, JMM started to slip punches better in the second half of the fight as well. It was an interesting chess match.

Bradley takes numerous body shots on his arms then rolls on JMM's jab and counters. Also notice how Bradley jabs and pushes Marquez at the same time.
