    How does this fight go?

    How does JMM deal with Abril's length and boxing from the outside?

    "How does JMM deal with Abril's length?" :rofl


    On a serious note, JMM would try and draw the lead from Abril and outer it with his super-duper combo punching. Those long levers would give him something to think about though.

    JMM UD.

    Yeah, I see a tricky night for JMM. I think he could have a bit if a hard time forcing Abril to open up for his counters.

    Urgh, horrible fight to watch as a fan. Marquez is a great counter puncher, but doesn't look nearly as good leading off, something that Abril will make him do.
    Marquez is, however, very good at drawing leads, and I think Abril may just be outboxed in this one. But I don't say it with any confidence.

    Marquez by razor thin decision

    It wouldn't be pretty.

    Marquez would struggle early, but adjust like all great fighters do.

    Marquez points.

    The same Abril that looked like turd against Prescott and took rounds and rounds to put away a man whose legs had been replaced by damp twigs?

    Surely with the official decision Bob will still roll with JMM-Rios?

    As for the fight, Abril is so-so IMO. Marquez by UD.

    Could be a difficult fight for Marquez but I'd still favour him to win. Agree that it's not a good watch though.

    Yes, I'm judging him completely on that fight from years ago and not the other two recent, widely available fights I also referenced.

    It would be just like the mayweather fight, after all Abril has perfected the shoulder roll :)
