Alvarado v Marquez

I watched this bout up close and personal and the reason why marquez looked younger and fresher than his age was because alvarado allowed him to fight at his own pace. It is the same mistake that other young fighters make against bernard hopkins..

Alvarado would have had a better shot if he went for broke earlier.. u dont try to box with the master boxer and he gave marquez too much space in the first half of the fight.

People keep raving about how young marquez looked so young and how he might be on steroids and shit but it had nothing to do with that. Alvarado had the wrong game plan..

If marquez were to face bradley again, he would have the same problems he did in their first fight.

Hey Finito, I was thinking about you as I watched the fight. I think I saw you, were you the black guy in the rapper outfit? You looked good. You picked a good fight to be at especially seeing how you are JMM fan. Seems like the crowd was electric, hope you had a great time.

I agree, Finito. I think I mentioned Marquez being 4-0 up because Alvarado didn't seem to be doing anything. You can't just do nothing for half a fight. Marquez looked awesome, but like with Pac sometimes, it was clever matchmaking too. Marquez looked much, much faster than Alvarado and would put together punches in proper hurtful combinations.
