I had a feeling that this situation would arise if Marquez lost. He would say he won, Bradley would be called boring, and Marquez would be called the whiner.
I couldn't have come any closer to a thought like this. I love both fighters so I'm going to refrain from commenting on each guy personally.
The only thing that I will say about this fight is that Bradley won in my book, and that Marquez is still a formidable opponent.
Marquez was just too slow for Tim. Marquez was not getting tagged, he was getting shoe shined. You can't slug with Marquez. Bradley executed a terrific game plan. Marquez had his moments, but you have to nail Tim to the floor to beat him.
Imo Tim was not motivated for Provodnikov, but he was for Marquez.
Motivation always plays a big part in fights. Not all of the time, but imo....in these two fights it did. The greats can pick themselves up even when they are not motivated and still win.
