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

[theocdog]

I dont like Marquez-Alvarado. I would have preferred Provo instead. Provo's aggressiveness and Marquez' counter punching style would make it a very exciting fight. And Marquez can definitely beat Provo and vise versa.

[ElCaneloAlvarez]

Marquez will probably lose to Alvorado, he's done as an elite level fighter.

Only biased and ignorant "fans" say Tim "schooled" JMM

Why does he even deserve another title shot??? Bradley schooled him! So beating Alvarado at a CW, not even at full ww gets him another title shot??? While the guy who just trashed Alvardo is calling him out. Sorry JMM, you're ducking and that's that. Fans can give him a pass but let it be written in history that JMM ducked Provodnikov. Nacho and JMM understand that deep inside too.

Ofcourse they can! JMM got schooled by Tim. He doesn't deserve another title shot. And if he wants to make a case for himself, beat the guy (Ruslan) that put the biggest beating on the guy (Tim) who just schooled u. Not Alvarado!

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.

Marquez got the easier fight. He is ducking.

Its for my legacy my ass man. Why are fighting the loser man, fight ruslan at 147 than. You get nothing in fighting Alvarado dipsh&t, he would get the chance no matter is he fight alvorado. But even more of a chance if he beat ruslan. He can just close his mouth and fight stop coming up with BS to not fight Ruslan. I know the term is used alot so i will just say Marquez es un gran Pato

[kiaba360]

But he's fighting Alvarado at a catchweight....stop bullshiting.

[Senor_frogs]

why does he keep pretending he was really a JWW champ?
he got an interim belt, got upgraded, then never defended it
piss drinker is old and has a right to do whatever he wants
no problem at all with him facing Alvarado
but stop with this 5 title crap, he wasn't a legit JWW titlist
wishing he'd just retire, it ****** seeing Bradley take advantage of him

Same goes for Pacquiao. When he moved up divisions. He fought the weakest link of all the champs. He basically fought paper champs. Never taking on the lenial champ of the division or defend most belts. So get outta here with that 8 division crap. Marquez put him to sleep and he's the one who has to retire. Pacquiao fights a guy taylord made for him to look good and know he's back to his old self? Gtfoh. The Alvarado fight is nothing more than a tune-up for Marquez.

[mathed]

Bradley would dog him out again.

[Weebler I]

If it's really about a title, Marquez should go to Golden Boy and fight Porter or fight for the IBO strap.

But, we all know it isn't hence fighting Mike Alvarado at a catchweight.

He's hoping Bradley beats Pacquiao so he can fight Bradley again, even though he won't get the decision even if he wins.

[Senor_frogs]

Difference here is that, PAC's win over De La Hoya and Hatton proved he'd clean out 135 pretty easily. And all of PAC's other wins over bigger guys prove that too. PAC would've stayed at 135 for a bit longer, but De La Hoya 'cherrypicked' PAC when Floyd refused to fight him. After beating Oscar, there was no turning back.

Diaz was at least on par with Juan Diaz and Katsidis. Fedchenko is a level below.

Roach new oscar was weight drained.

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.
