The Official Juan Manuel Marquez-Timothy Bradley & Undercards RBR & Discussion Thread

[Tay Roc]

I like Marquez in a UD. It's going to be a chess match all night. I think Bradley suffered career-altering damage in that Ruslan fight. Said he was concuss and was slurring his speech for months. Plus he blows up in between fights.

JMM UD.

Willing to bet hefty puntos.

Great call Maxy on Bradley-Provodnikov, really showed RJJ how it's done IMO.

Just rewatched Bradley-Provodnikov, say what you want about Timmy, his heart is unreal. That being said, Provodnikov was timing and catching him with counters early and often, and he doesn't have near the skills JMM will bring into the ring. JMM's straight right is shorter and crisper than Provodnikov's, while Provo's might pack a little more power. Bradley got countered over the top of his jab a few times, he needs to be wary of this early against JMM.

While I agree with you,about Prov catching Bradley..Bradley also left himself right in front of Prov early in this fight..He continued to not fight a stick and move kinda fight(which I expect him to use against Marquez)..I really think his fight with Prov is a bad fight to assess Bradley game plan he will use on Marquez..

I don't wanna take anything away from Prov,but I've watch Bradley for some time,I never really seen him fight the way he did..Like he had something to prove..Standing toe to toe..That's not his style,even when applying pressure it's in a smart manner..I did not see any of that in the prove fight..

I can't see Bradley winning this unless Marquez's age has caught up with him. I suppose it's possible - he didn't look "great" vs Pacquiao, although he obviously did what counted - and Bradley's quick and young. Still, Bradley's boxing skills are severely overrated here and he's very possibly going to be made to look silly by a guy with real, tried-and-tested skill.

More excuses..How about this,only way Marquez beats Bradley is if Bradley had took to much damage in his last fight..

It take away from both fighters with this wack azz excuses..Whoever wins is the better fighter,end of story..Stop getting this built in excuses ready,it's really pathetic already..

True, he did much better against Provo when stuck his jab and threw the occasional straight right and worked the body, which is probably how he'll fight Marquez. But Marquez won't just follow in circles around the ring either, his experience and knowing how to cut off the ring will help him get to Bradley enough to where there will be exchanges and I just tend to favor Marquez in those, mostly due to counter punching ability and Bradley's tendency to throw his shots a little wide.

It is true that he fought Prov different than he had fought before. He tried to prove a point and he might have hurt himself permanently doing so. I think he may show some residual effects. I hope not though, I want both guys at their best.

I hope not too..I just don't want any excuses,if Marquez beats Bradley you will not hear me say it's due to the fight with Prov..If Marquez loses you will not hear me mention age..These guy's are pros and I believe both will be ready for a great fight..

Your right Marquez can cut the ring off and is all around smarter then Prov..This is not really a strong suit of Marquez tho(cutting the ring),he is a counter puncher who loves his opponent coming to him..He is also not fast of foot..Bradley is,I expect a great fight..Cause I respect both of these guy's so much..Whoever wins will be the better man,and I'll tip my hat to um..

BTW,great sig..LMAO..

Agree, just want a great fight between two of the most fan friendly fighters in the sport.

And thanks everyone loves this gif.

Ugh... you.

Marquez is a lot better than Bradley. Stylistically it is somewhat interesting, but Bradley just isn't some master technician. Unless Marquez is shot, he'll beat Tim. Plus, funny how you ignored the other "excuse" I made for Bradley: that he's possibly going to be damaged from the Ruslan fight. So what, am I making excuses for both fighters?

I like Tim but he got a beating in his last fight and his skill is overrated. He'll lose unless Marquez looks like Father Time in there, which will be obvious if it happens. You're only as good as your last fight, which is what I'm judging them both by: Marquez looked a little old and Bradley got a concussion. Unfortunately we're not seeing either fighter at his best.
