Bradley vs Marquez Fight Thread

  Probably about 20-30 minutes away from the start.
  
  Last fight just ended.

  Overwhelming crowd support for the Mexican born Marquez against the California born Bradley, in Vegas. Each have contributed to the last 2 losses for Manny Pacquiao.
• Azubuike24

  

  Crazy. Bradley booed the entire introduction. Crowd already starting "Marquez, Marquez, Marquez" chants within 30 seconds of the opening bell.

  Bradley just sitting behind the jab, no real combinations and is trying to steal rounds in the last 10 seconds by getting busy.
• Azubuike24

  

  Hell, Marquez has been laid back until the last 30 seconds of the round it seems.
  
  Bradley isn't dominating, but he looks good and he's comfortably up after 6, IMO...

  Bradley doing the smart thing and forcing Marquez to come forward.
• robj55

  

  Bradley just outworks people, has very limited power but sits behind the jab well.
• Azubuike24

  

  Yeah. I'd like to see it, but a Mayweather/Bradley fight would be tough to stomach.

  Well, Bradley up 8-2 or 7-3. At best, Marquez needs to go all out in the last 2 rounds if he has any chance.

  It would be ironic if we had a controversial split, but I'm thinking it's going to be a split in favor of Bradley. Then again, maybe karma for the Manny decision. This is boxing though...

  Damn, that last 45 seconds of that 12th was crazy...where was that all night???

  Yeah Bradley got blown out by Pac, one of the worst robberies in combat sports I can remember recently.

  LOL. 115-113 Marquez???
• Azubuike24

  

  Bradley wins in Split Decision 113-115, 115-113 and 117-111.
  
  Good call on scorecards all over the map.

  Thought it was a bit closer than you because MArquez landed the harder, crisper shots, but Bradley outworked him enough with the jab.
