Who is the fag? Is that the fag they were talking bout as the first out of the closet boxer ever? And I love the guy behind him pointing his finger saying "He's going to clinch YOU"
Who's everyone got? A couple years ago I'd lean to JMM but he's an old ass dude and I think he was showing signs of decline vs Pac before fluking that shot. I can see Braddles just beating him to the punch/outworking him
Ridiculous. He was looking for that punch the whole fight. It was perfectly timed and wasn't thrown out of desperation. That ko was a thing of beauty.
I'm really on the fence. Marquez is just the better fighter and should win clearly if he can muster another legit performance, but being that he is 40 years old and all, it's very possible Braddles outhustles him to a decision. I'll stick to Marquez by KO though, 40 years old or not, he's just better, and I have faith he has enough left to dispatch Braddles.
Yeah, in the 4th fight after fighting one way for 36 rounds he just decided to switch to being consistently beaten to the punch and outscored for 6 rounds straight. Tactical masterstroke.
I wouldn't think it likely either, but Marquezelles is a pretty accurate counter puncher and you know Braddles will be the one pushing the action. After absorbing punishment from Manny and Provo he could be softened up.
Well, it seemed it paid because he knocked pac out rather brutally. A fluke shot for me is a lucky shot thrown out of desperation after being beaten up. The fight wasn't out of reach for Marquez, he was trailing on the cards 3-2. You make it sound like he was beaten up a threw this shot with his eyes closed hoping for the best. I don't see it that way but whatever.
I can definitely picture KDs. Bradley is pretty tough though and Marquez won't be the puncher at welter the Pac KO suggests
As i remember, I' given Pac almost every round up that point including the 6th, I think 3-2 is mighty generous. I mean it's kinda a philiosphical/semantic debate really isn't it. He certainly meant to throw a right hand, he was aiming it for Pac.....fluke probably isn't the right word. But if they fought 100 times I'm not sure it'd ever happen again.
I don't know, I might be wrong but I really felt Marquez fought that fight with a different approach, he boxed less and tried to punish pac more than he did in the 3 first fights. He really seemed to look to time pac with something big instead of working with combinations as he usually does. Might have a lot to do with his age too though. Anyway you're right, it's a rather sterile debate. At the end of the day Marquez knocked Pac out, that's all that matter. :eye:
REED Reserved his Prediction for the Weigh-In Pics... 1nce Again, Juan Manuel Marquez Looks STRONG @ the Weigh-In, Which Suggests the POWER will Be There...Being an EXQUISITE Counter Puncher, it's a GIVEN Marquez is Gonna LAND Leather on Bradley...The Question is, Can he HURT Him???...REED's Betting he Can... Bradley's ACTIVITY will Win More than its Fair Share of Rounds & of Course Marquez WILL Be Hurt or Cut &/or DROPPED @ Some Point...That's Simply WHO he Is...But he'll Land the HARDER, More TELLING Blows...Marquez just Might STOP Bradley Late (his Chin WON'T Be the Same After the Provodnikov War), but REED's Going the SAFE Route, Picking Marquez by a VERY Close, Majority Decision... REED:hammert:
Bradley looks like a juicer, but he's always looked like a juicer so at least there can be hope he's not. JMM, on the other hand, is a glow in the dark, piece of shit. Fuck this fight. I hope the ppv bombs and I think it probably will. Replay version is good enough.
I'm really not sure on this one. My first pick was Bradley to outhustle the old Juan but on thinking about it the hot Jew is onto something - Marquez really might KO Braddles.
It's the chance for Marquez to be recognize as more than the guy who got Pacquiao number. I think Bradley beat him rather confortably though.
Dunno man, Juiced Marquez looked to be punching really, really hard against Pacquiao in that fight. I wasn't actually that surprised at the first KD when it happened, as Marquez's shots looked very hard and meaty leading up to that. You could hear the thuds and see the impact. If he's on that same uber juice, I think there's a great chance he stops Braddles. Especially considering Timmy MAY have been a wee bit softened up by Provodnikov.
