Enjoy.


---------------

Announcer Dude (Jorge Eduardo Sanchez): Here we are in the Golpe A Golpe Ring- Juan Manuel Marquez, Jorge Eduardo Sanchez. We have a little bit of time, so let’s go Juan; we have to talk of Tim Bradley against Manny Pacquiao on June 9th. It would seem that Pacquiao takes it easily, but let’s elaborate beyond the short of it: If they picked Bradley so that Pacquiao would shine, they already made a mistake.

JMM: Yes, it seems that they did it with that goal in mind, so that Manny Pacquiao would look his best, but we know that Timothy Bradley is a very difficult fighter due to the style he has: very fast, very elusive, and very hard to hit, regardless of the speed that Pacquiao has. Bradley is a fighter who’s always moving to all sides, who also ducks down very low (side steps and ducks down); you can’t hit him, and he uses lateral steps well (jabs while stepping); he uses his speed a lot (throws combination.) But it’s trouble if he stands in front of Pacquiao, because Manny Pacquiao is a quick fighter, an aggressive fighter. But what Timothy Bradley can do is use lots of lateral steps, crouch, and suddenly throw (circles, crouches, and throws), quickly; throw very quickly. And the important thing that I think he’s going to do is not allow for Pacquiao to get comfortable with the shots that he can throw at a distance.

Announcer Dude: Manny Pacquiao landed on you in a certain moment in this last fight you had against him; the changing of the angle, with those marvelous feet Pacquiao has…

JMM: Yes…

Announcer Dude: In one given moment, he notoriously employed that game of footwork, doing a dance, and he succeeded in getting in a right hook. If Bradley doesn’t study that, he can end up going (down) to the canvas.

JMM: What happens, what Pacquiao has studied well, is that you jab, and he waits on it and throws the right hook (throws jab, takes counter over the top). Always he’s waiting, he’s waiting for you to throw the jab so that he can catch you there (takes hook), and take advantage of that moment. If Bradley doesn’t throw the jab quickly and keep back-stepping, he can find himself in danger with that right hand.

Announcer Dude: It’s going to be much more difficult than the people think.

JMM: That’s right; much more difficult, because that’s his style. He’s very elusive, very fast, and he moves very quickly as well.

 

Gotta love JMM

 

thanks!

so jmm thinks that both fighters should not be too complacent of each other since this fight is dangerous for each one.

 

Bradley is gonna make an ugly fight but like Marquez said, if at any moment he stops moving he will pay against Manny's speed.

 

I thought it was interesting when Marquez commented on Bradley's very low ducking. I tend to believe that Pacquiao may have trouble landing on fighters with a low center of gravity more so than taller fighters, who are a bigger target and Manny can bob and weave under easier without fear of anything coming up from under.

 

I think Bradley wins it with a clear MD

 

For real?

 

How in the world is it clear when one judge differs from the other two


oh and thx for the translation. It feels to me like JMM is getting his retribution by laying out these blueprints from his fights with Pac so maybe someone can "finish the job he started" lol

 

I agree but if your ducking without any use of lateral movement or staying out of range your gonna get caught eventually.

Bradley doesnt have the style or the skill level to do what marquez was able to do. It takes precise timing and punch placement to fire off those counters / combinations that JMM throws. Bradley has more of an aggressive mentality and he pulls his punches a lot. He's gonna get caught with punches all night, guarantee it. At best he might make it look ugly, but he's gonna get mauled.


edit: I will say this though, Bradley has a decent enough IQ and he has the chance to make this an ugly/ spoilerish type fight. But I don't see how he can possibly win though.

 

Thanks, Bogotazo!

"Announcer Dude":rofl

I quite like this fight, I don't think it's gonna be the white-wash that most think it is. Bradley's not spectacular in anything but he's very competent in everything.

 

I'm with you Bama.

Bradley's got Joel Diaz. Very good trainer.

 

ty

 

Let's hope Marquez is right and this won't be a boring repeat of Pac-Mosley.

Thanks for the translation!

 

I can't see Bradley going past the 9th against Pacquiao. I want to believe it will be a competitive fight, but I can see Bradley's lack of experience holding up past mid-fight. He'll be out 7-9th. TKO.

 

I definitely favor Pacquiao for some of the reasons you gave-just found it a point of interest that applies.

You're all welcome; I too hope it will be a good fight, it has the potential to be. Watching two boxers like Manny and Timothy compete should be plenty entertaining, so long as spoiler tactics don't overwhelm the feel of it.
