Comments Thread For: Marquez on Why He Didn't Choose Provodnikov Bout

[Weebler I]

People are delusional in this topic ruslan gets laid out flat by Marquez. Ruslan gets picked apart and dissected it's not even funny. Ruslan brings nothing to the table for Marquez, come on clowns nothing about ruslan is going to add to Marquez legacy or Alvarado for that matter. Both of them are tune ups fights.

Yet Provo beat Alvarado and Marquez chooses Mike at a catchweight. Everyone can see what's happening, he's taking the lower risk fight in the hope of landing Bradley (will probably avoid Pac).

JMM, you want a belt at 147?
Why didnt you ask for Porter or Maidana? Ah, they are too big for you and powerful..hence you going for the small ones Manny or Bradley...cherry picker there...Ruslan too big at 140..

Bradley-JMM 1

Final numbers: (landed/thrown = percentage of accuracy)

Jabs
Bradley: 82/337 = 24.33%
Marquez: 38/169 = 22.48%

Power punches
Bradley: 86/225 = 38.22%
Marquez: 115/286 = 40.20%

Totals: Jabs + Power Punches
Bradley: 168/562 = 29.89%
Marquez: 153/455 = 33.62%

THAT IS NOT a "schooling" by any means.

It was a split decision.

The judge who favored the aggressive, power-punching, more accurate boxer, chose JMM

The two judges who favored the less aggressive, jabbing, super-defensive, less accurate boxer, chose Bradley

So, being "schooled" is a synonym to not being able to KTFO a super-defensive --or let's say it bluntly, COWARDLY-- adversary? Yeah right.

What??? Bradley vs JMM was not a close fight. 8-4 Tim and I don't even like that bozo Bradley.

He didn't challenge Maidana or Porter because they're both with Golden Boy and Marquez is with Zanfer Promotions/Top Rank.
There is this thing called the cold war, you might have heard of it.
