Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez: I'm Not Provodnikov, I'm Different

[LouIE G]

I used to like Bradley before he fought Pacquiao, now I dont. I just cnt like a fighter who brags so much about a fight was undeservedly gifted to him. I do admit that if you give all the competitive rounds to Bradley he does win 5 rounds, but the only rounds I felt he clearly won were the 1st and the 10th due to Pacquiao inactivity. I also felt he did enough to convincingly win the competitive 2nd round, but all rounds after that but 2 were Manny. After all he was the one landing the power shots vs a lot of feather fisted pop shots Bradley landed.

I feel the same way about marquez he cried robbery against every fighter he has ever lost too,yet when he fights barrera,barrera beats him and knocks him down,he denied getting knocked down and thought he won the fight,i remember watching that fight at a party,though the fight was very good,at the end of the day the marquez fans that were there were in agreement wit us barrera fans that barrera.pulled off that win....i still have not found a marquez fan that thinks he won....no class from marquez...he will lose this fight too and he will do the same thing he does every fight he loses :CRY ROBBERY...I CANT GO FOR A FIGHTER LIKE THAT!!

I'd believe that if you weren't easier to hit these days than at any other point in your career. If we take into account Marquez's four fights I think he took more damage over those 4 fights than he had in the previous 10 combined. Pacquaio refused to change his style for Marquez and paid the price for it..had he hit his combos and forced Marquez to reset over and over again by being less aggressive..today we'd be talking about him in another light. I do not expect Bradley to volunteer his face to being punched like Pacquaio did.

Not as physically strong as Provodnikov, but better in every other way.

Bradley too clever for JMM?? Did you see Bradley's last fight perchance? Bradley and clever don't belong in the same sentence.

He needs to jab, move and disrupt Marquez' rhythm. That should be the ebb and flow of the fight with counter shots when available. The lateral movement and ducking will be a big problem for Marquez who doesn't have the best legs. He is usually well balanced but only when moving forward or stepping back. He gets off balance moving from side to side and Bradley needs to use that to his advantage.

If Marquez makes his way on the inside, Bradley should neutralize the attack with the jab and tie up. Other times on the inside, he needs to throw the short uppercuts that he does and work the body before slipping off at an angle.

Marquez isn't really good on the inside, he inches backwards to create space for his punches to land. You take away all that space and keep him from setting his feet, he'll be off balance all night and have far less power on his punches.

Head Butting

Marquez is not very good at head butting. Bradley is an expert. Marquez may end up delivering his right hand to the top of Bradley's head.
