The Official Juan Manuel Marquez-Timothy Bradley & Undercards RBR & Discussion Thread

[joe strong]

this was a tough one to pick. my gut says marquez because he can counter & ko Bradley. he is a finisher. Bradley doesn't have power but he can box your socks off so I am up in the air on this one but I got marquez with a late stoppage... I did take in consideration marquez owes 1.73 million in taxes & he has a few distractions outside the ring so could that play a factor? we will soon find out...

Nice snide remarks, Jim. ****rider.

it was a much harder fight then what it needed to be...........lamechenko let him get off on him & make it a rough fight at times.

they were asking about rigo at the end of the fight........I'm here to tell you that i don't think he's ready for anyone in the top 10 let alone rigo. against rigo he's a ko waiting to happen & i am dead serious............

It was his first fight. He did what he had to do and definitely showed he has the goods. Rigo got knocked down in his 4th or 5th fight, what's it really matter if his opponent made it rough

Obviously he would need some fights under his belt before fighting Rigo

Lomenchenko is legit. I would buy him vs Rigo on PPV

[bojangles1987]

Funny.

He already has a better resume than Gary Russell Jr.

Don't sleep on TBD.

I agree on Rigo, he would beat Lomo handily at this point.

He did let Ramirez inside on him a lot without countering him, but he didn't seem flustered or worried at all during the fight. I think his output and aggressiveness will come the more comfortable he gets to the pro game.

Love the Max Kellerman monologues. Dude is brilliant.

Him and lamps have ATG chemistry.

Will I brand him the next big thing right now? No. I will tell you though for a pro debut, this kid got the goods. He will be a world champ, it is just a matter of time.

[BennyST]

TR, and Arum, aren't ****** enough to throw a brand new, one fight pro into the ring with any proven world champion. Sometimes you can, but this kid could be the popular mainstream version of the Klitschko's, just smaller.

Even the guys that won titles the fastest, Muangsurin, Jeff Fenech, Sahaprom etc etc, had either had long pro fighting careers in other disciplines or had a lot of fights very quickly ie Jeff Fenech. He had 7 fights in only 6 months when he won his title against a new champion.

You'd be nuts to take a completely unnecessary risk that doesn't matter or prove anything to anyone. There is no point whatsoever to throwing him in for a title really quick. A couple of fights in, if he lost, he could be mentally ruined. No need for it.

Anyway, he looked great. I hope he gets moved along properly and TR doesn't get caught up in any ****** hype. He could be really good, but I'd like to see him move in his own direction more and lose the southpaw Tyson influence. It gets you knocked out. He's not that big for 126 either so moving up and doing the modern division jumping thing probably wouldn't work too well.

Jim is still crying over the Marquez KO. He's acting like Marquez didn't had the same amount of KO wins as Pacquiao prior to the fourth fight.
