    To an extent I see it as a battle of Ross's jab versus Marquez's coutner right. JMM is definiately susceptable to being outjabbed as the John and Mayweather fights showed. But there is a pretty good case he beat John and I think Ross and John have allot in common stylistically. Ross isn't a big LW so that shouldn't be an issue in this fight and Marquez was a very big FW and by the standards of same day weigh ins a good sized LW. Overall I like Marquez's better balance, speed, timing, accuracy and power to win through in a close contest

    Marquez SD (1 judge will get it wrong ;) )
