I think he will mix it up with Marquez. He will start out making it a chess match, but by round 7 he will go at him like he did Nate Campbell. He will throw flurries and combos to the body and head. At this stage, Marquez will not be able to handle the speed.
    hell no... bradley better stay on his bike like Rigondo and just make JMM chase him. the blueprint is with Floyd/JMM... Floyd was just more patient than JMM and JMM was getting caught. But JMM landed a few right hands on Floyd... so if JMM has them power pellets he might be able to hurt Timmeh bad if Timmah has lost any punch resistance from the Ruslan fight. There's a small chance that even if Tim runs, he might get caught by a punch fueled by power pellets and get KTFO

      Here's a source: www.boxingscene.com

      Former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez (55-6-1, 40 KO's) has revealed that he plans to continue his career by challenging WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (30-0, 12 KO's) for the WBO welterweight championship on September 14th at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. The fight is almost sure to land on HBO Pay-Per-View

            This is a really interesting fight, imo.

            However, as much as I love JMM... I have a gut feeling that Bradley takes this one.

              I'll Take Bradley By Decision! Bradley is not WILD enough for a Counter Puncher to be effect against and he is also quick and uses a lot of head movement...I don't see Bradley fighting like he did against Provodnikov probably ever again, if he does? Then JMM will beat him! But JMM don't hit as hard as Provodnikov so you will see Bradley get into exchanges with JMM but I think Bradley can out-work JMM

              Respect to both fighters, I actually like both fighters and would be OK with who ever wins this match up

                Extremely difficult to call.

                It really hinges on how Bradley fights

                1) He goes hard like round 1-2 against Ruslan: Then we have a fight; JMM may KO him

                2) He weaves and bobs like against Pac: a chess game that in his prime JMM might win, but i'm afraid his reflexes and speed have declined considerably, so Bradley likely UD.

                I'm rooting for JMM (favorite current boxer), but after the end of round 6 against Ruslan, I have massive respect for Bradley.

                  Marquez has Pacquiaos number after 4 fights, thats wht he fights as well against him as he does. I mean, he had more problems with Michael Katsidis and Juan Diaz.

                  Pacquiao won the Bradley fight 10-2 IMO. So no triangle theories here but I think Bradley is too young and fresh for Marquez to beat him, except that thundering punch he landed on Pac Marquez doesnt seem to punch that hard.

                    No.

                    I've seen his fights with Lemont, Alexander, and Manny. And I can say with all certainty that, that his inside game is sloppy. He balls up, tucking his head in, and covers up his body with those massive arms ala Clottey. But when he opens up, he swings to wide. Marquez on the other hand, clamps down and throws combinations on the inside using short hooks, and uppers.

                    At a distance its competitive, I would say Tim edges out due to better handspeed. However Marquez is the better counter puncher.

                      Pacquiao couldn't last another few rounds with Bradley, what do you think he will do to JMM?
