    Missed the Marquez fight but opinions seemed to be either Bradley won clearly or Marquez was robbed. Which of the 2 fights do you guys think was closer?

    I had it 6-6 draw... (yet to rewatch - and probably won't)

    Gave Marquez the 1st and 12th...I think the 12th was clearly Marquez's round (although only 1 judge gave it to JMM)... 1st round was either way


    Despite scoring it 6-6 it did feel like Timmeh' won the fight...Marquez wasn't effective. Should have retired after Pac. Also after reviewing other scorecards the most plausible result is 115-113 Bradley.


    The rounds which JMM won were mostly due to Timmeh's inactivity.


    It's a hard one... Provo won the early and late rounds while Timmeh clearly dominated the mid rounds.

    JMM Vs Marquez the first 4 rounds were very close hard to score. had it 2-2 after 4 rounds. mid/late Bradley did most of his good work.

    Both close.. can't really judge it. Provo was a fight that Timothy shouldn't have made close...

    Bradley vs Prov was real close with Brad coming out as a 1 point winner on my card. whereas Brad clearly beat Marquez. it wasn't a close fight at all. Marquez did nothing.

    I think Bradley vs Provodnikov was an easy fight to score to be honest

    Provo took the first 2 and then possibly 6 for the late rally and then didnt win another round til the 10-8 in the 12th

    Bradley won razor thin but he won by dominating the middle of the fight, Provo tired out after the early attack and Bradley showed his difference in class until be caught later in the fight again and barely surviving

    if you showed 3-11 minus the last 30 seconds of 6 he dominated but people only like to talk about the rough parts of the fight for Bradley and say he didnt deserve the win despite winning more of the rounds. Provo won the fans however

    I thought Bradley won vs Marquez but I'll have to admit some rounds could swing one way or the other

    I thought Bradley won with relative ease as he really didnt take much of a beating and was the ring general choosing where and when the fight took place and everytime Juan landed anything of significance Bradley came back and took the points back

    Marquez just got out fought and out foxed, Bradley had a plan and stayed focused while Marquez looked confused and looked like he was just gunning for the KO

    I thought Bradley was extremely impressive with his varied punch selection, hit and run tactics, foot work changing directions, his bobbing and weaving and turning those bobs and weaves into those overhand rights were very impressive as he for being a pitty patty puncher by reputation turned Marquez's body on several good connects

    If the ropes are the only thing keeping a fighter on his feet, is that a knockdown or not?
