    Will Bradley be the same fighter?

    I just rewatched Bradley vs Provodnikov, and wow, he was taken to hell and back in that fight by the unheralded Russian.

    I'm really intrigued to see how he performs against Marquez, because after the beating he took against Provodnikov, I find it hard to believe that he'll be the same fighter.

    Bradley has always had a good chin, but Provodnikov probably weakened it somewhat, which can only spell trouble against Marquez's hard, well aimed, counter shots. It's going to be interesting to see how Bradley takes Marquez's best shots, especially considering Marquez is coming off a huge KO victory over an iron chinned fighter.

    I expect Bradley to win, because Marquez is old, and I doubt Bradley will want to engage too often, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is stropped in the mid to late rounds either.

    If he fights smart he should beat Marquez, but I feel his scrappy style might suit Marquez over the course of the fight.

    I fully expect Bradley to win looking extreemely unimpressive as is the case with every big fight he has. Other than that, he robs Marquez.

    Hope and pray Marquez finishes this hype job.

      Guess you gonna just have to order the PPV and find out..Hopefully not stream it..This is a PPv worthy fight,I'm interested in seeing how he looks as well..

      I also find it interesting that almost everyone who picks Marquez(who is not a Bradley fan)say's that Bradley will win due to Marquez age..Funny..Is this not the same Marquez who just KO'd Pac??Did he suddenly get old out of left rack??Come on now..If Bradley wins it's due to him having the better style,and being the better fighter that night..The same thing if Marquez wins,it's not because of the fight with Prov..It's because Marquez trained hard and was the better fighter on the night of the fight..Plan and simple..Stop with the build in excuses already..

        piss drinker is too old for Bradley
        the big Pac KO was piss drinker's last hurrah
        Bradley will outwork him for a boring, uneventful UD
        he's not a big enough puncher to do anything to Bradley
        don't expect him to get off much in the fight

              I agree, Bradley is definitely not a hype job and I've always respected him as a fighter. His fight against Pacquiao literally had some of the worst judging in history but I don't hold that against him.

              Tim is fast, throws a lot and can counter effectively when he needs to. JMM has slowed down considerably but seems to have developed Earth shaking power, can he get to Bradley and hurt him? If can't I see Bradley dragging out a UD.

                Pac ran right into the punch, it's literally that simple
                newsflash: timing can generate KO shots for non punchers

                  Exactly,Bradley can also run into something as well..Newsflash:Bradley was timed by Prov,a lesser fighter then Marquez at any age..Once again stop it..

                    If he is the same fighter he was in the Provodnikov fight he will have a short career. He did not fight a smart fight. When was it where boxers started trading with punchers?
