Marquez - Bradley HBO face off

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.

No kidding. And if Bradley gets hurt at any point there's good reason to wonder if he can still recoup quickly, let alone fight off a guy like Marquez. Wouldn't at all surprise if he's rocked and beaten down quite early if he can't clear the cobwebs.

If that 2 months thing is true, Bradley has a bad case of "I'm Invincible", but then he is young. On the other hand, fighting is what fighters do and Bradley wants everyone to believe in him as a fighter. If he wins against Marquez I would say his stock jumps a good bit.
Marquez is a hard nosed, crafty, merciless veteran who does not back off so Bradley is in for a tough night one way and the other.

Can't view it for some reason as Craptop is spotty lately. But as much as I've defended Bradley and rooted for him last few years..he just gets on my nerves off Provo fight. Dude has a self righteous little man complex almost, its there when he speaks and its there in his last fight. A balls to the wall warrior and I respect that, but if you ask me he has had Christmas come early back to back now. It wasn't his choice to "stand and slug" last out...he was sucked into a brawl trying to play macho man, pull out high and ended up just fighting to survive. He can box but when his bell is rung...he'll stand, load right and fight, he always has, and against a peak momentum ring general like Marquez I think he'll be lucky to walk out of the ring with less than 4,5 conflicting personalities. Cybill style! Mannys wreckless and Tims wreckless are two different worlds and I think Marquez will exploit Bradleys holes in a big way.

No kidding. It surprised the shit out of Max. He looked at him like "are you fucking kidding me"

I d not believe the 2 months story, it is only to sell the fight. If it is real then he is damaged goods v an old legend. It will not be about who is the better fighter but who has regressed the least.

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
