Poll coming. Wow, another of my threads deleted?:rofl Hmm... Poll borked. Can't add one. Oh well.... No wonder I've started to drift away from this place...atsch
I keep trying to find a reason to be really impresed by Bradley. He's a real tough guy, but skills win fights not toughness. His last two fights were very close. On the other hand At some point in time Marquez is going to get "old" someday. I don't think it will be during the Bradley bout. I think Marquez's ring IQ and counter punching will be the deciding factor.
Either Bradley PTS 12 or Marquez stoppage If Bradley boxes and doesn't just brawl like he did for most of the Prod fight, I think he can take a decision win over Marquez. However should he get reckless or impatient, which I can easily see him doing, I think Marquez stops him. Great fight though, excited and worth a PPV. Hope TR stacks the card though.
This could be one of the best fights ever. Marquez and Bradley are both very skilled, but can also be drawn in to tit for tat brawls (see Katsidis and Provodnikov) I reckon they will destroy each other. Bradley by decision 116-113
marquez via brain damage. bradley's last two fights have been very difficult. he took a lot of punishment. his manager's an idiot for taking this fight. marquez just knocked the great manny pacquiao out cold. bad fight for timmy.
Look for HBO to back this to the hilt to make Showtime blow their whole years budget on one production. Show 'might' win the battle and lose the war. Remember, they are into Floyd for big bucks so Floyd doesn't even need to have live bodies in front of him as far as he is concerned. Come, pick up paycheck, go home.
