HBO - SKY SPORTS -Marquez v Bradley - SATURDAY NIGHT FIGHT CHAT THREAD

7-3 Bradley. He was busier, landed the harder shots.

Marquez needs to go for broke. He looks his age with the activity and inertia.

Thank you Harold

6-4 Bradley. I was worried that we might see a different Marquez and we have. No body work, no head movement.

Marquez round 11, Bradley again taking time off and Marquez hunting him down.

7-4 Bradley.

Bradley has been hurt at least 3 times late...meaning over motion! I've got Marquez winning last 3 round...Bradley fighting from the backseat, to me

Harold only gives him 2. I'm being a bit more generous.

I got this a close ass fight and do not see it as wide at all and bradley deciding to coast the eleventh n poswsibly twelfth is very stupid

I got it for Bradley going into 12 but Marquez may have been two rounds up during the ring walk.

Nothing matters except what the judges say.

I got bradley by one round going to the 12th

He gets hit clean, rocked and drops his hands and does shit??? Almost don't count for DID.

Bradley was extra careful after getting blasted so often by ESPN Provodnikov but he won the fight.

I stopped relying on judges to tell me real world results 20 years ago.

This is Vegas. It'll be a SD for Marquez only because a UD would seem ludicrous.

I thought Marquez was doing enough in that round and then almost gets knocked down. :-\

8-4 Bradley.

Marquez just didn't get going until the championship rounds when Bradley slowed. Early on Bradley was just too elusive and quick.

bradley is on crack if that's a boxin lesson , boxin lessons don't have close rounds

Patricia Jarmin with 116. Go figure

Well I'll be damned.

Neither fighter proved a thing.

Lol. At least two got it right this time brother.

Personally a draw for me and did not see domination at all comentary kept sayin how marquez wasn't landin shit, I didn't see bradley land much of anything. Marquez should hang em up tho he's not the same guy combos weren't there nor a bounce in his step

I like Tim, but Marquez already covered that awhile ago.

Bradley getting booed like the fight was held in Mexico City.

Marquez was picking off bradleys punches in the middle rounds.

Precisely.

At least Bradley was being honest this time about the fight plan and what happened.

I think Marquez is a bit deluded. He was clearly outlanded and did very little in those early rounds. He should have been more aggressive early, but didn't do anything. He let Bradley pot shot and just land more thus winning rounds.

Don't see how any of you guys can call this a draw. 2 point win for Marquez is borderline slippery. I thought Bradley won quite comfortably and deserved the ud. And I take little pleasure if any in saying that.

If/when Manny gets a Bradlet rematch it'll be a giggle if Marquez starts crying about not getting Manny 5. Maybe Bradley has retired him.

Good thing it wasn't a WBC title fight. Heads would've definitely rolled.
Sulaiman doesn't put up with those damn, just decisions.

Bradley won on points because you cant see every punch. I didn't see compubox. what happened to it?

I like and respect Marquez. But justice was served tonight.
Bradley won and that's all there is to it.

Not sure how tight the puppet strings are with Tim and Arum but he might have a slight shot at Floyd.

The problem with Marquez is he is a pure counter puncher and needs offense to get his game going and when facing the outside style he needs to be juiced by a cattle prod. Marquez is clearly the a better fighter, even at 40.

Anybody know what Bradley's Top Rank contract is? Maybe he's a free agent in a fight or two.

I don't think Marquez will go out with a loss. If he does he is truly full of it. He says he wants a 5th belt.

I had Marquez taking it. Just saw him stronger down the stretch and countering hard with little fanfare. Bradley was working the jab early and picking shots but got caught up in alot of posturing and posing late and forgot to get off.

The judges cant. I see more then them from my living room with all the camera angles afforded us. No blind spots really in comparison. Most of the fight would not have been effected by those blind spots and the judges at ringside should have seen everything because of the way it was fought.

Compubox is a sad attempt to excite the broadcast and is done by technicians holding clickers with multiple buttons that dont know the difference between a shot to the junk and a jab and if they did broadcast the numbers I'd wager they would still show Bradley way ahead in both thrown and landed % pts. Marquez looked like I was hoping he would not and proved at least to me that he blew his last wad in the last Paq fight.

I hear what you are saying bud but this looked pretty cut and dry after the first 4 rounds.

I mean I had it evening up at times and trying to find way fro Marquez but Tim kind of ran away with it over the last half

Well we have a problem then :D We both think judging is a dubious profession at best and agree I would say 99% of the time. In fact I would wager you and I would call most of the close and/or close fights over the course of history the same way.

This I suppose is that remaining 1 %.
