I actually like this fight. I hoped Marquez fought Alvarado or Rios.
And what do you want Marquez to do? He just came off a loss? Shouldn't he be subjected to the same pass as Pacquiao? It was okay for Pac to fight Rios after his loss. Why can't Marquez fight Alvarado after his loss?
Err, maybe because Marquez didnt get KTFO in his defeat.:dunno:
That's a good fight, but it's very funny after what Nacho said about Provodnikov bringing nothing to the table.
Poor Ruslan, the guy nearly beats Bradley and kicks the crap out of Alvarado, yet somehow doesn't land either Pacquiao or Marquez. Who's he going to be stuck fighting?
i have the utmost respect for marquez but if this fight happens, then the old man should just retire. he gains nothing with alvarado. if he loses, expect him to cry foul play.
That's exactly what I have been saying wtf is the point now then I actually would have been less baffled if he didn't fight anyone til the Pac vs Bradley winner, but to straight up sidestep Provodnikov and go with Alvarado that is not a good look. I really really hope it doesn't happen I would rather he retired he is just looking bad doing something like this .

Yea looked like he spent 8 weeks at concentration camp, not training camp.
Which is a main reason he lost.
I just read the article and yea winner gets Pac or Bradley. To all the people saying marquez is ducking prov here goes. The fight is taking place at the great western forum guess what the main demographic is there? That's right Mexicans and guess what Alvarado is? Yup Mexican American. Alvarado wasn't on his radar till arum said you beat him you get crack at the 147 title .
Now what's Ruslan bring to that fight in la ? Nothing nada zip zilch .
Will prov give up his belt @140 to fight Marquez at 147 ?nope he wants jmm to move down so no on that part
what about a mexican fan base ? Nope on that
will he win a title he's never had? Negative ghost rider
Will he get next crack at bradley or pac? Nope
So now what's in it for Marquez?
Alvarado is gonna fight on the back foot. What weight is this fight gonna be at? 147 ?
Probably, Alvarado looked like a Skeleton at the weigh in for Provo
Was talking what Alvarado was going to do. I doubt he'll sit back and let Marquez take the lead.
i cant picture alvarado who's going to be the obvious aggressor having success coming forward against marquez. even if hes faded he wont have to move the old legs much. cause if the power is still there i think he KO's alvarado... alvarado has got the chin cracked by rios and now ruslan.

I am a Marquez fan, but he cannot reject Ruslan fight and then take Alvarado. I agree with his focus on 147 lb. title. Therefore, any fight at 140 or 147 that is not for title does not make sense, unless its a tuneup or stay busy fight at 147. The point is he should either wait for winner of Bradley-Pacquiao, fight another champion at 147, or maybe an easy tuneup at 147. Alvarado at 140, like Ruslan, does nothing for him.
so basically what he did against bradley? he'll have more success against an easier target in alvarado. the handspeed gap is alot closer JMM won't be countered as much this time like the TB fight

Depends on how he fights....he'll probably move and jab a lot, then throw the occasional combo.

JMM fight a touchup.... alvarado will be hungry he's coming off a loss. i still think JMM beats alvarado. but alvarado will be tough for him, at nearly 41. this fight should be a good gauge to see if JMM still has it to beat pac again

this is not a tune up marquez is 60 years old now its a 50/50 fight and will be a bad azz must watch event if JMM pull this off it will look like provo-brad all out war
Yea, I wouldn't say this is a tune-up either. Even though Alvarado got the dogsh1t beat out of him, he'll put up a good fight
Marquez is coming off a loss, he needs a tuneup.

I'd watch it... just find it awkward after he said Provo has nothing to offer and can't sell.
That's everyone's problem. Ruslan ain't **** but you go and fight the guy Ruslan just beat the piss out of???? I don't get it.
