What was clear tonight is that Marquez based his world around fighting a southpaw of a certain style. Every uppercut he threw tonight that landed on Manny missed Bradley.

I've said all along and maintain if Marquez wants to be at his best he needs to lose some of that bulk. Unless he intends to sit on one punch all fight every fight it isn't serving him well.
FTR I was rooting for Marquez but thought Bradley clearly won.
I'll do replay in the morning but wasn't one of Marquez better shots landed a right uppercut that rattled Bradley, one of his that actually made hbo replay that is? It was one of his better moments. Changing corners right now for Marquez would be a none factor, Nacho as much as Marquez is why he is able to keep going right now. Bradley looked like a guy balancing a glass of water the last few rounds worried more about spilling it. He fought a much more intelligent fight but fell asleep at the wheel for me late on.
His left uppercut worked well under the jab with Manny but he missed the same punch tonight with Bradley. No body attack at all either but Tim deserves credit for that also. Not sure why he never tried from the right more? A kind of south paw affliction and then w/o that his right hand was a non factor.
He knew he wasn't fighting Manny. and yes his body attack was lacking too. The punch he rattled Bradley with was a right uppercut I'm pretty sure. Bradley seemingly had a solid hand speed advantage but took himself out of the frey but settled a large part of the time. Pick your poison, this one was no whitewash. Bradley lands one solid jarring shot in 12th and opts to walk away with his hands raised like he just conquered the Kraken, nah man.
@IamInuit as I mentioned in the other thread you yourself posted you had this 6-4 after ten, very reasonable to score last two for marquez don't you think, thus givin him a draw. Also compubox is shit but they had this a close one as well somethin like 168 to 155 in favor of bradley, sure as hell not what you'd expect in a 10-2 fight as hbo n the ring had it.
Lucky fooker ha. Sometimes I miss the meany green. Might have to come out of "retirement" soon.
Anyway, I actually sat here and did the standard replay. Made it into the 6th thus far and have rewatched...in slo mo frame by frame. What always amazes me is how it always reveals Lampley and his habit of calling fights like he is reading a comic book outloud..."Biiiggggg right hand....booooom....bang-bang-bang" haha. It was such a difference in style and approach. Marquez literally stayed in the pocket and was actually able to keep up when Bradley got off. Bradley jab was very very active, but it was also very inaccurate and he didn't bring much behind it at all. Just to break Marquez stance and leads. Bradley covered alot of realestate but blowing combinations and settling on matching jabs. I still have Marquez 4-2 here but really round 3 was very difficult. Easily 3-3. Beginning was coin flip and a staring contest.
Bradley 115-113 . Close fight but Bradley finally did enough too win
I think it was way too close a fight to claim robbery on either side. Bradley fought a great fight, utilized the jab very well and got the better of most of the exchanges IMO.
I dont even think it was close. Bradley quite comfortably
...didn't like much the way he fought but credit to him, his face was totally unmarked, testimony to his superb defense. Another pretty boy in the making, huh.
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
Haters gon hate
