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.
