Run from a 40 year old, Bradley ! Run !

Bradley = 'he's in trouble!'

Gets on a ****ing bike!

 

You actually take things like that said in the buildup to a fight seriously, when a fighter's entire resume tells you that the exact opposite is more likely?

Oh well.

 

Divac, usually I really respect your opinion and what you have to say is generally useful to me. I'm still somewhat confused, my posts are essentially saying the same thing. I DO think Marquez did great. I posted several times that both fighters fought a great fight. I DO think that Marquez adjusted, but it was too little too late. I see the work he did, and I commend it. Marquez is my favorite fighter, but he and Nacho dropped the ball here. That's just my opinion. I really like how Marquez came on in the later rounds, but he should have been pressing him by the second quarter of the rounds.

Also, Divac, seriously, quit posting examples of boxing matches that are similar to this. I get your point, I just disagree. I know that there are times that a better boxer doesn't get the nod. I really do think that Marquez is a better rounded boxer, in the literal sense, than Bradley. But what matters is who was the better boxer that night. I think the technical war was won by Marquez. He is obviously the smarter, more technically savvy fighter. But he lost a really close, tough match. It's that simple. He came on too late, and for that the judges saw it another way.

I DO think that scores either way are acceptable in this match though. I think that you can make a case for both a Draw and a Bradley win, and from a more hard-nosed, technical boxing point of view, could give it to Marquez. I just think that is much harder to sell to the boxing public, and it should be, it takes quite a bit of boxing knowledge and match-up expertise to really understand it.
