Marquez himself was down against Manny before finding that homerun. He was looking slower, was getting busted up, and up until that point I was worried about him. Bradley is just as quick as Manny, but unlike Manny can fight in a truly versatile manner. He simply wouldn't wade in there with no respect for Marquez and at 40 I see him outhustling Marquez for a decision.
I can see Bradley going down, but keeping him there? Mind you, I say that by thinking about Bradley prior to the woozy post fight interview. I didn't like what I was seeing there.
If there was any time to fight Bradley I guess this might to the most apt of timings. If Bradley is really okay, I think it is a massive fight to make, and can really see him taking Marquez all the way for a typical Bradley decision.
