Master Marquez will give Alvarado a f**kin Boxing lesson

[Max Power]

Alvarado isn't good but Marquez is so damn slow these days. Marquez can still win fights on skill but I don't see anything coming easy for him anymore.

He is ageing sure but he is a tremendous athlete. I mean these guys are not like they used to be, 40 is the new 30 these days

As long as those 40 year olds aren't matched with good 25-30 year olds sure. I've always really liked Marquez but I think quite a few guys at 147 could take him out now. Alvarado is not one of those. I think the TR stable is benefitting greatly from the cold war. It always sticks out in my mind how when MAB was matched against the completely average Rocky Juarez Emmanuel Stewart said "you don't want to match older fighters against young lions". I laughed it off because it was Rocky frickin Juarez then I watched Rocky frickin Juarez give MAB all he could handle. That's how this cold war works. Manny and Marquez will never "get old" as long as they fight each other because they're both eroding at the same speed. Put them in with a Thurman type though, a guy you would think they should beat and I suspect we'd be surprised by how fast, strong, and most importantly ferocious he would appear. Not because I think so much of Keith Thurman but because he's not in a new age prime but simply prime.

Yeah you make a good point actually there Swanson. I guess Marquez is going to find it increasingly difficult from here out to be sure.

I still think he will produce here though.

Incase anybody accuses marquez of ducking provodnikov, here's an article on why he chose Alvarado.. it very simple really but some haters want to ignore his goal.

Marquez is a great fighter, but like any great fighter he has got old. At his best he boxes Alvarado's head off, but Marquez isn't getting any younger. Marquez should win, but I don't think it will be easy at all with age leveling it out somewhat.

Mexicans hold their looks well. Marquez still looks like a young fella. Lucky bastard! lol
