Marquez: The Judges Did it To Me Again, I Was Robbed

Marquez: The Judges Did it To Me Again, I Was Robbed

Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas - Former four division champion Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40KOs) was far from happy with scores for his twelve round split decision loss to WBO welterweight king Timothy Bradley (31-0, 12KOs). Two judges saw it 115-113, 116-112 in favor of Bradley, and the third had 115-113 for Marquez. Marquez believes he was robbed for the sixth time in his career. The only defeat that he actually admits is the one-sided twelve round decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2009.

For Timothy Bradley, the night of Saturday, Oct. 12 will forever stand as an essential part of his makeup as a fighter. A slight underdog heading into his match with Mexico City’s Juan Manuel Marquez inside of the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) produced perhaps his most disciplined and intelligent fight as a professional in capturing a split-decision verdict following twelve tense rounds of action. And while Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KO’s) was dangerous every second of the bout, Bradley found a way to neutralize his offense despite absorbing the occasional heavy shot. At the post-fight press conference, Bradley was asked if he feels a victory over Marquez, one of the best Mexican fighters of all time, would finally get him the respect he feels he has been lacking. “I don’t know. I really don’t know,” said Bradley. “If I get the respect, great. If I don’t, keep betting against me. I’m just going to keep winning.”

Is Timothy Bradley boxing’s version of a cat having nine lives? There have been a number of times throughout his professional career the unbeaten Bradley could have suffered the first loss of his career. He could have lost to Kendall Holt had Holt finished him off after dropping and hurting him twice in their April 2009 fight. There was the controversial decision last June where a majority of media and boxing fans thought Manny Pacquiao and not Bradley should have had his hand raised in victory last June. Then there was the Fight of the Year candidate between Bradley and Ruslan Provodnikov in March of this year. A round scored in favor of Provodnikov instead of Bradley (as well as a possible missed knockdown) would have given Bradley the first defeat of his career.

The last several weeks of boxing have been overrun with fights that have proven to be as much of a mismatch in the ring as they were on paper. The lone exception was Julio Cesar Chavez Jr’s narrow win over Bryan Vera, a fight that was much closer than anticipated only due to the victor’s lackadaisical approach to the sport. There is no such cause for a letdown in preparation from either participant in tonight’s event. Tim Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez always both come to fight, and their pay-per-view headliner at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas is viewed as a virtually even fight. Bradley arrives on stage on the strength of his courageous, off-the-canvas points win over Ruslan Provodnikov in their Fight of the Year contender this past March. The performance helped remove a lot of the bad taste from the mouths of those who still haven’t completely gotten over his controversial decision win over Manny Pacquiao last June. There was no such doubt in Marquez’ most recent performance versus the Filipino, scoring a shocking one-punch 6th round knockout in their epic fourth fight last December. The feat gave the former four-division champ the type of career-defining win he had sought ever since his 12-round draw with Pacquiao way back in May ’04. Marquez was 0-2-1 in their series, with all three distance fights met with some sort of controversy, but he erased all doubt late last year to breathe new life into his career. Can the 40-year old future Hall of Famer keep the momentum going, even on the heels of a 10-month layoff? Or is Bradley too young, too fresh and too good for the ring veteran? Read on to see how the staff at Boxingscene.com believes tonight’s action will go down.

Later tonight, inside of the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley will look for a successful defense of his crown when he meets up with one of the greatest Mexican fighters of all-time, Juan Manuel Marquez. The HBO pay per view showdown is clearly one of the most significant fights of the year as well as hard match to break down given the strengths of each man. Several opinions of Bradley-Marquez have been gathered in recent weeks, with many observers unable to foresee a clear victor when asked for a prediction. Count former lightweight titlist Brandon Rios in as one of those who is one the fence. “It’s going be a good match. It’s going to be 50/50,” Rios stated recently. “We’re going to see how it plays out but it’s going to be a good match.” Bradley revealed a different side of himself this past March when he elected to stand and trade with durable Russian Ruslan Provodnikov for twelve thrilling rounds. Bradley was knocked down and suffered his share of telling blows along the way before ultimately finding a way to emerge with a unanimous decision victory as well as a newfound sense of respect from some of his peers.

by Cliff Rold - There are few things more exciting than fighters that fans know can be knocked down going into a big fight. There is one thing though. Knowing they get back up. This Saturday on Las Vegas (HBO PPV, 9 PM EST/PST), a pair of proven hearts will step to ring center for a belt, the championship of each other, and a safe place as the next best Welterweight in the world after Floyd Mayweather. Both have been through bumps in the road and still to some degree fight in the shadow of a bigger superstar. Manny Pacquiao won’t be in the ring this time. For this night, the stage is all theirs.The shadow of Pacquiao is at least there in common results against the man. Bradley got a ton of grief for getting a decision many thought he didn’t deserve in 2012. Marquez, always a good puncher, landed the A+ shot of a lifetime against Pacquiao at the end of the same year. Since that bout, Marquez has laid in wait while Bradley got himself in what might still be the 2013 Fight of the Year with Ruslan Provodnikov.

A chorus of boos embraced Timothy Bradley as he entered the Encore Theater in the Wynn Las Vegas for Friday’s weigh-in, but the welterweight titleholder was unconcerned with the hostile environment. An overwhelming majority of fans voiced their support for challenger Juan Manuel Marquez, who is attempting to become the first Mexican fighter to win titles in five weight divisions. “The booing didn’t bother me,” Bradley said. “I inhaled it. It enhances me. I have no problem. I expected it. I know what to expect on Saturday, and we got a taste of it here. It motivates me.”
