Marquez - Bradley HBO face off

[Tam Seddon]

The video is on YouTube. Somebody please post it for me lol. Bradley seems confident, but he said how badly he was hurt in his last fight and it took him 2 months for him to get his speech back. Will he be able to take Marquez' pressure for 12 rounds?

Neither guy is much of a talker so I found most of it boring, but that is quite something that he admits it took a couple of months for his speech to come back. I think Bradley is up shits creek coming into this fight myself, but he's an honest hardworking fighter and wish him a relatively safe defeat

I do also but I hope Marquez remembers he's not fighting a southpaw or a guy that fights as reckless as Manny. Not saying a straight right cant work with an ortho fighter but his obsession with Manny and that punch could play a factor here. In addition can Juan even get up mentally for a fight after that unbelievable evening.

Fair points, but Juan has never been one to take opponents lightly or come in ill prepared. He is a total pro and will be the more intelligent fighter in the ring no question. There is a big question of whether Bradley can even physically be up for this fight, which is a lot more reason to worry if you're him imo. I don't know what Marquez will make for this fight or how likely a 5th showdown with Manny is, but if he didn't have the desire anymore I don't see why he would have accepted this or even fought on at all.

Bradley had really better hope there are no lasting effects of the Provo fight, I just think it's insane to have taken this on after the way that one ended and his own admissions of it.

Anybody that claims it took 2 months to get his speech back might want to consider another line of work.

I found it boring too , but i am looking forward to the fight. I think Marquez will be a bit too much for Bradley though going off recent performances. Bradley's been unbeaten for a long time, it will be interesting to see him having his first loss.

[p4pking]

I think he should have lost his last two fights, so that's completely moot for me. Honestly what the hell kind of call was this

[Act1107]

I give Bradley a little more credit then everyone is giving. He's not a stupid fighter and he also has speed and decent defense. If he mixes it up with Marquez it may get risky for him but I see him fighting a Mayweather type fight. In and out. Can't wait to see this one!

[Fenster]

That two months to get his speech sorted is shocking. Can you really fully recover from that type of beating? Marquez KO.

[imp]

Tim is only getting better.

He took alot of damage in his last fight but i have him beating marquez just like i said garcia would beat matthyssssse.

Timothey will die in that ring if he has too..all he has to do is fight a bit smarter.

We dont know if marquez is too old now or if hes in his second prime but this will be a great fight and could be fight of the year.

[FinitoElDinamita]

I think this speech thing with Bradley is getting blown out of proportion. I believe Bradley is exaggerating cuz not too many fighters would actually admit to something like that leading up to a fight. It shows weakness..

Bradley is just playing drama right now.

[walrus]

I don't see Bradley winning this. The only thing that kept him up several times v Prodov was the ropes. I don't dislike Bradley, he always comes prepared and his conditioning is beyond the beyond but I think Marquez will outdo him. You never do know with Bradley, his luck with calls is also beyond the beyond.

I agree, I think Bradley is a brilliant fighter and he can do it all. The only thing he lacks is a bit more pop, but he is hardly Malignaggi. He is fast, has output, gets straight back up, he can box, he can brawl, he can look fun, he can grind. Often he does all these things in the space of a single bout.

I can see him winning this too. Either Marquez stops him, or else Bradley is going to outhustle him over 12. Bradley has all the tools to outwork a very old Marquez.

Such a shame bradley is on top rank.
He deserves a shot at floyd more than anyone else.
If he beats marquez would a cotto fight at 147 happen?
That would be interesting..

I cant see cotto dropping to 147 so perhaps a rematch with manny or another fight with marquez depending on how good this first fight goes.
