JMM far outlanded bradley in power punches showing he clearly won the fight you can't win a fight with pity pat jabs unless the fix is in which it was in this case at least 1 judge got it right the others were paid of by a-rum
let me guess
when pac outlanded very clearly in the third fight with jmm in power punches and jabs, you ignored compubox but now you are referring to them to back marquez?
dude marquez was not active enough, he needed to land more clean shots
as I said before, in the pac vs marquez 3, everyone expected pac to kill marquez, when he edged the rounds, because it was not so hugely one sided, people gave marquez the rounds, thank god the judges did it properly and gave pac the win
the same here, just because bradley was not killing marquez, does not mean he was not winning the rounds
you have to be fair, you can't give marquez rounds for surviving rounds with a few punches

Bradley won no need for compubox, in my unbiased Chicano opinion.

If I hit you 10 times in 1round and you hit me with 2 so call power punches without a knock down. Then I think I should win that round. That is how fights are scored right?
Yeah, of course.
But what I'm saying is, Bradley outlanded Marquez in most rounds, despite what Compubox might say. Many of Marquez's power punches that were recorded by Compubox as 'landed' barely scraped Bradley's whiskers. These punches shouldn't even be counted as 'landed', especially not as a 'power punch', because they have barely any effect.
On a side note the whole idea of recording any punch other than a jab as a power punch is just silly. But I'm not going to get into that.

Jab was definitely the key.
A lot of close rounds in the fight.
Only clear dominant rounds were 5,6 and 7 for Bradley but in most of the close rounds Bradley landed more punches and very clean with the jab.
Marquez landed the more cleaner punches IMO the problem was they were seldom (Due to Bradley).
