Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez

[LeG00N]

Marquez ends his career.......

Hard fight to call but if Bradley resist the urge to trade and boxes instead then he wins this.
Norwood and John handed defeats to Marquez a while ago but he has got considerably more powerful since his got this dodgy conditioner so I can see his power causing Timn problems if he is quick enough to catch him. Floyd completely dominated JMM soTim just needs to apply the same strategy of movement with plenty of jabs I see Marquez being outspeeded and outboxed.

JMM by TKO or Decision.

I actually think this will be an easy fight for JMM. Bradley is not a smart fighter. He'll wanna prove something, JMM is gonna counter that poor head all night! HAHA!

Good fight..a close one too IMO. I'd go with Marquez though.

Rooting for marquez. It's a contrast in style for marquez since bradley can fight backwards and has good movement, but I believe marquez can time bradley coming in. And bradley should never think he can fight marquez the way he fought provodnikov. He should fight like he did against pacquiao, mediocre but constant work rate.

I first thought bradley can do a far superior juan diaz style against marquez a year ago, but things changed after the pac-marquez IV and bradley-provodnikov.

If it's an outside game, i don't think bradley can do better against marquez, since he has little power, marquez knows how to cut the ring, and throw feints all over the place.
On the inside. Marquez has face superior offense in pacquiao than bradley can ever offer. Marquez has this.

If they have the same power I would have root for bradley.

Bradley is not a smart fighter

He wasnt smart in his last fight but perhaps he has learnt his lesson. Better to learn against a guy that couldnt take advantage than for it to happen in a big fight. He was trying to prove a point vs Provodnikov but now he knows he cant punch and can be hurt then he should realise than boxing is teh way to win fights. He fell back on his skills vs Pac in the later rounds and it pulled him through vs Provodnikov.

Marquez would be reliant on Tim making a mistake so he can catch him with huge counters. If Tim plays it safety first he gives Marquez no opporunities and Tim wins a landslide like Floyd did vs Marquez. Depends how many risks Timmy wants to take.

JMM by decision and if Bradley makes a mistake JMM will make him pay and kncok him out...

[B-Bomber]

Great respect for Marquez, he's fighting a younger, less famous guy for less money than he would have done by fighting Pac a fifth time.

That said, Bradley by decision. I don't see how Bradley's style is tailor made for JMM. He's a jab and move kind of fighter, who only trades in short spurts 90% of the times.

Marquez is extremely clever and a tough opponent even at his age. A fighter tailor made for his style though would be Rios, to a slightly lesser extent Alvarado, not Bradley.

The outcome depends upon how much Marquez has faded - he'll be turning 40 in August.

bradley has some defensive holes, i think marquez will eventually catch him and ko him.
