JMM needs to mix it up start off with some uppercuts and straight right hands, some educated pressure as you say.

Then he needs to apply pressure and voulme punching.

In the middle rounds I think he should use his ring generalship and try to outbox MAB with his skills.

Then towards the end brawl, impress the judges if does well early in the fight with volume punching and aggression and he closes out the show brawling he'll get the decision..... IMO
Yeah thats pretty much mixing his work and trying to impress judges in what looks like a distance fight . Doing the same thing wont work cuz both men will be adjusting as the fight goes on .

A tactical approach from Marquez will ensure little action and little mistakes by both men . I cant see Marquez doing enough to take a title that way

Educated pressure would play right into Barreras hands . Marquez would be in punching distance like Juarez was , leading , being first but being open to counters . Barrera would box him at his own comfortable pace doing that

High volume agression from Marquez would be interesting but I doubt he could keep it up cuz it isnt his style . Marquez cant try to beat Barrera the way Pac did cuz he isnt Manny Pacquiao . Its a high risk tactic cuz if it fails after 6 rounds will he have enough to see out the last 6 .

box fighting would be his best chance IMO . Barreras got a heavier jab so Marquez has to make him uncomfortable by fighting him up close when Barrera wants to box and when Barreras wanting to engage then Marquez has to frustrate him by boxing . Its a big ask but there is no easy way to beat Barrera

If Marquez brawls with Barrera he'd be mad IMO . Barrera has faster hands and is a bigger hitter IMO . Erik came off second best with that tactic against Marco and I think Eriks a better fighter than Marquez . The intensity and focus will be there with Barrera so brawling wont suit Marquez at all .

Its hard to envision Marquez winning but if the judges like what he's doing he can pull off an upset . He just has to get it right and hope Marco isnt at his best cuz if he is JMMs in trouble
