It's like this. Marquez is a GREAT counterpuncher, but he's modest at best when he pursues and has to be aggressive. It's just not his style and he doesn't look good doing it.
Bradley is very good at both boxing AND grinding out a win coming forward. He's said time and time again that he's not messing around in this fight, and he's going to back up and box w/ JMM, not exchange and stand in the pocket like he did against Provodnikov.
Marquez has overrated power. He knocked Pac out cold, so people overrate it. Fact is, Pac got knocked out b/c he leapfrogged headfirst into a perfect counterpunch, not b/c the punch was extremely powerful.
That's not to say Marquez couldn't knock Bradley out, but Timmy is 1) way bigger than him 2) is durable/has a good chin, and 3) will try to box and not let Marquez get counterpunching opportunities.
I think Bradley wins this fight just in general, but in terms of betting even if you think Marquez will win, getting Bradley as an underdog is very hard to pass up IMO.
The only way Bradley can win is if he knocks Marquez out. The judges know Bradley got a gift when he fought Pacq he wont get a gifts this time around.Both fighters are capable of knocking each other out. Marquez will have the fan support. It's going to be tough fight and remember Bradley had some physical problems after his last fight maybe he will be thinking to much in this fight. The big difference is age Marquez is 40 years old. If Bradley is back 100% he should win. This is a really tough fight because of all the intangibles but if you just look at the fighters you have to go with Bradley.The chances of Bradley knocking Marquez out are slim and none . Marquez went the distance with Mayweather and he went the distance with Manny 3 times. Put your money on Marquez to win by SD.
Bet on Marquez. He's gonna knock Bradley out.
Marquez. Bradley is going to get outboxed by a 40 year old.
It is wise to bet on Bradley. Just watch Heredia's azz around Marquez, then you might consider changing your mind.
Guys, who do you think will win?
Why and why not. I need to place a bet now.
I'm leaning towards Bradley. I have a feeling he wins the fight.
Jmm is a slight bookies favorite but i feel there's some sweet cash to be made on Bradley. Thanks.
