I think Bradley will win a decision, and I bet big on him considering he's an underdog on most books (I got him at +135 on my sportsbook).
Timmy is more versatile than Marquez. He can come forward to grind out a win, AND he can outbox his opponents.
On the flipside, Marquez is a sick counterpuncher, and he'll punish you badly if you try to come at him. But what if he has to pursue you, and is forced to be the aggressor?
Marquez looks modest at best when coming forward. Bradley is a much better boxer off his back foot than JMM is in the stalker/aggressive role.
So I think Bradley wins a competitive decision, and I'm confident in that bet. As you said though, I could see some sketchy sh*t happening here if it goes to decision. I don't see either guy getting stopped, unless a cut or something bizarre happens.
Marquez by TKO in the 9th.
Bradley took WAY too much punishment in his last fight, and probably shouldn't be fighting this soon. They reported he had slurred speech for 2 MONTHS after that fight. He may well have a strong chin, but referee Byrd may have to step in to save the rest of his body from being killed. JMM can HIT!
If this goes this distance, Bradley will have the edge, but it won't.
Marquez by TKO in the 9th.
if marquez doesnt knock him out Bradley WILL outbox him and win a decision period and i Kinda doubt he'll knock Bradley out. Bradley is not going to make the same type of careless mistake pac did he's not going to say fu** my defense and start fainting at marquez with his hands down Not being aware of marquez newly found punching power so i doubt marquez will get that lucky wide open golden counter and knock him out and Bradley is one tough mf to knockout even if he does take a shot like that from marquez i doubt it would knock him Out but you never know about marquez these days lol.
Without Heredia around Marquez, Bradley wins.
heredia's job is to turn jmm's punching department to nuclear... pac got hit w/ those same punches before but never made any impact, heredia's job was for a specific purpose; made sure pac gets blasted to kingdom come when those punches hits him again, and it did as revealed on round 3 of their 4th fight
beristain already laid all his cards on jmm, there's no more technic he can add...
his last fight showed nothin new but same old punches pac already took in the past
style makes fights they say...
and bradley's style was very different than pac who has troubles on counterpunchin
if jmm will do the same, waiting all night so he can counter, bradley could outbox him to win via decision
Marquez by UD
Markez da bos
Marquez the living legion what else can you say about this guy he has done it all if you go by his resume he wins this fight easy. Well we are not going by resumes here we are going by what we know. Marquez is 40 years old with a lot of miles on him and he has nothing to prove. Sure he wants to win another title in a different weight class, but is this enough motivation for him to walk through hell to get it at 40 years old? Can Marquez get up for another big fight after knocking out his biggest rival Manny Paqc? Let's not forget what Floyd did to Marquez in knocking him down and shutting him out. Marquez has lost many times before so he knows how to lose.
Timothy Bradley undefeated 30 years old world champion ok,ok I know he lost that fight against Manny but the judges gave it to him and his ego and all his fans, and family are telling him he won that fight so in his mind he really thinks he won that fight. In Bradley's last fight he proved what kind of fighter he is I don't know of many fighters in the history of the sport who could have taken the punches he did against the Russian . Bradley still feels that he is not getting the respect he deserves and he is willing to fight his way to the top to earn it.
I love both fighters but I am betting with Bradley IF the ref or the judges don't screw this fight up it should be a good one. Bradley is only 30 years old ,he is undefeated and I believe he wants it more. I see Bradley backing Marquez up cutting him up,knocking him down a couple of times and his corner stopping the fight in the 9th round.
