Marquez vs Alvarado a done deal for May 17

[BUNGALOWS]

he's going for the highest chance of a W, so he can go after Timmeh later this year

one more loss at this stage and the pressure to retire could be unbearable

Pretty much this. How can you not understand why this fight is being made?

I doubt he's going to get a second Bradley fight if Pac beats Bradley.

The only people who think Bradley/Marquez was a Split Decision were the judges, at least I hope so. That was a clear cut win by Bradley, no need for a second fight.

If any fight, I would have loved to see a Garcia fight.

It was close and competitive enough to warrant a rematch

I had it 7-5 for Tim

This fight does nothing for me. I don't give Alvarado much of a chance. I expect him to get knocked out in the middle rounds. I just don't understand how Prov brings nothing to the table yet they are fine with fighting Alvarado.

Man... JMM ain't done making ****** ass matchups. The legend continues.

Because he talked a ton of shit to Provodnikov and then fights the guy he obliterated.

Highest chance of a W would be the tune-up fights he fought before Pac 3 and 4.

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

Marquez made himself look really bad by saying he only wants legacy fights and that's why he won't fight Provodnikov, then turning around and facing the guy Provodnikov just knocked out. If Marquez really didn't want to fight Provodnikov, he could have just said he was only fighting at 147.

yea marquez acts like we don't see what hes doing lol hes just waiting around for pac Bradley to be over then fight pac again most likely he acts like he wants to retire but really he aint goin anywhere

Wish it was Marquez VS Prov.

WTf is there to get? Both good fighters coming off an L the winner moves on to a bigger fight. And it's on hbo not ppv plus there both warriors who make good fights so why complain. Damn
