For all Marquez fans I think Tyson tweeted it best

    Title fights used to have that extra intensity and meaning because challengers are expected to take the title from the champ and not just win much less fight to survive.
    Exactly...

      When you have a bunch of American Idol judges judging the fight this is what happens.

          I think your only error is labeling this a "championship fight." I thought it was too but after what went down, Its clear that this was nothing more than a TR movie production.

              1st post here despite reading for a while. Hopefully not setting my stall out in either of the Pac/Mayweather camp as I've seen some of the comments going back and forward!

              Anyway, I thought that Pac won the Marquez 3 fight by 1 round. Either that or a draw.

              Pac should have won this latest fight but stepping off in the last few rounds cos him despite Bradley having no power whatsoever. I think he landed one decent shot in the whole fight and I think it was a body shot in round 3.

              Hope to enjoy the fourm.

                Challengers are expected to drag the title from the Champ and not meekly get over the line.

                  Stop comparing the Bradley fight with the Marquez fight.
                  Thank you. Completely different circumstances.

                    No it wasn't, not even close. JMM vs Pac was close and competitive, this was a ***in joke.

                    I had JMM winning too but at least it was competitive.

                      Mike knows more about boxing than you and me and everyone in this forum, so relax with that comment.
