Marquez vs. Alvarado appears to be a done deal

I like JMM but I hope he doesnt get a hall pass for ducking Providnikov if this is true.

 

Hes holding on for the winner of Pac vs Bradley

People always call it ducking when someone doesnt fight a fighter they want them to fight lol

Hes skipping Provodnikov to get a loss from someone better (Bradley)

 

I actually like this fight, Marquez vs Alvarado... Alvarado is still a tough fight for Marquez.

 

It's a stay active fight while he clearly waits for the winner of Pacquiao-Bradley II. Nothing to complain about here.

 

I thoguth that was gamboa/garcia's date.

 

ts mentioned gamboa/garcia on the undercard. that makes it an interesting card but im more hoping for jmm/provo main event

 

jmm is getting up there in age idc really what he does. coming off a loss an so is alvarado so i think it makes sense.

right now for jmm it isnt a smart move to fight provo.

if true i like this fight. an i wander what weight class? 147 im thinking

 

Hahahahahahaha. :rofl:rofl:rofl Turns down the chance to fight Pacquiao to fight Alvarado. I thought he only wanted 'the big fights'? Cluck cluck cluck cluck.

 

Dude just needs to retire, he is no different from the other greats who did know when to hange them up when time was due. Sure he is still a A fighter, but needs to leave on top. Theres no point in a 5th fight with Pac, & Bradley soundly beat JMM. I hope Alvarado is his last fight.

 

Uhm, yes there is. Pacquiao was well ahead on points at the time of the stoppage and there are suspicions over whether Marquez was on the roids. You don't suddenly come in the ring at 40 years old with a better physique than you had when you were 25 Very fishy but it says it all about just how great Pacquiao is, Marquez needed roids to knock him out :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

You know this kind of statement has been echoed by many on ESB and rumors like this can be dangerous to state out loud unless you have veritable facts or evidence that can back up your claim.

Do you have any clear cut evidence to back up your statement? Or do we just assume what we want and start throwing out statements like they're absolute facts even though you can't back it up with any solid evidence??

 

Alvarado is a live dog and this will probably end up being one helluva fight. I expect there to be a lot of fighting in the pocket between these 2 guys.

I would've liked to seen JMM fight Ruslan, but this fight should also be VERY entertaining. It's not like he's taking on a tomato can, Alvarado is a proven threat at JWW and is one of the best in that division.

 

This. :deal

 

Boxing is scored on points by round, Pac was ahead but it was not a shut out. Marquez (even though he was loosing 6th round) was not hurt in the 6th round any more. Both had scored a KD. People like to talk about how bad JMM was hurt in the 5th round but don't ever mention the huge shot that JMM landed on pac right after he was knocked down that buckled pac again.

Any way point is that it was a competive fight, no one was dominating the other but you can say Pac had the edge. Jmm landed the perfectly timed shot that counted & Pac took a nap.

You can't say a rematch is needed because you "believe" JMM was on roids. I also have reason to believe Pac was on roids when he fought ODLH, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, Diaz, Hatton, Mosley & JMM 2/3. So using your logic then he should have to rematch all these fighters on account of him climbing weight so fast & avoiding the biggest payday for a boxing fight because he refused drug testing. I think thats enough reason to get suspicous.

 

^^Nice post textboxing.

It's a huge double standard on ESB saying one fighter is definitely on PED's without any actual evidence to corroborate that notion (i.e. a failed urine/blood test,) but if you mention that same suspicion about one of their favorite fighters, it's complete heresy and a personal, baseless attack on them. You can't have it both ways.
