Juan Manuel Marquez Must Make Bout with Timothy Bradley a Brawl

Juan Manuel Marquez is at his best when punches are flowing—from him and his opponent. The 40-year-old Mexican legend is quite possibly the best counterpuncher in the sport. When he faces WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley on Saturday, he must entice him into as many exchanges as possible.

Bradley is the quicker, slicker boxer. If he dictates the tempo with in-and-out movement, Marquez will have an issue finding his mark. Despite the fact that Marquez is in exceptional shape, he’s still 40. He has never been overly quick, but at this stage of his career, he is bound to slow even more.

What Marquez has in his favor is Bradley’s apparent obsession with earning respect. This desire could help to create the brawl Marquez needs.

Ever since Bradley was awarded the controversial split-decision win over Manny Pacquiao in June 2012, Bradley has been the target of ridicule. He carried a massive chip on his shoulder when he faced Ruslan Provodnikov in March. Because Bradley disregarded his trainer Joel Diaz’s instructions to box, Provodnikov nearly knocked it off.

Bradley was rocked on multiple occasions and took a knee in the 12th round.

If Marquez can get Bradley to adapt a similar game plan against him, he will finish what Provodnikov started. Marquez has captured 40 of his 55 wins by KO, and he is one of the premier power punchers in his weight region.

Pacquiao can confirm that statement.

Though Provodnikov is powerful and tough, he is raw and under-skilled. Bradley easily outboxed him in every round—even the ones he was rocked in. Marquez is far more refined and not nearly as much of a one-trick pony.

Bradley won’t be able to fall back on such a huge advantage in boxing skills against him. Though the champion holds the edge in speed, his margin for error would be small—even if he sticks to a game plan that employs movement.

With just 12 knockouts in his career, Bradley has never had the type of punching power that is ideal for a slugfest. The more Marquez can get Bradley to plant and throw, the better chance he has of landing scoring punches. The man that controls the identity in this fight will win.  By Nevel

WWE Raw : The Shield goes hunting and Kane puts Bryan through hell

Image
Stephanie McMahon called out WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan Something is not sitting right with one of WWE’s principal owners, and it’s the state of affairs surrounding the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan. Despite the heartfelt address the “Yes!” Man delivered to the WWE Universe less than an hour earlier, Stephanie McMahon – who’s lately asserted herself as Bryan’s primary front-office foe thanks to Triple H’s preoccupation with The Shield – more or less insinuated Bryan’s injury was proof positive of what she’s been saying all along: That Bryan can’t hang with the “A-plus players” of WWE. Watch: Kane puts Bryan through hell She demanded a face-to-face with the Champion of Champions, but what she got was a glimpse of just how far she’d gone by returning Kane’s mask to him: The former Director of Operations emerged instead of Bryan, dragging the bearded husk of his former tag-team partner and depositing him on the stage Stephanie, who ...

the best and MLB worst players of april 2014

Happy days are here again – it’s time to discuss the best and worst players of the first month of the 2014 MLB season. As usual, there were several standout performers you never expected, and several stars that fell flat. AL Best Hitter of April – Jose Bautista. With all due respect to Mike Trout, who is a better all-around player than Bautista, Toronto’s slugger was in vintage form to start 2014. He hit .293/.467/.598 with eight homers and *30* walks. That’s right – Bautista has already matched or eclipsed the 2013 walk total of Yadier Molina, Chris Johnson, Manny Machado, and Jean Segura. Needless to say, he’s leading the league in that category, and his .304 ISO is third in the American League behind Jose Abreu and Albert Pujols. Yeah…I think his wrist is healthy now. Honorable mentions: Trout, Abreu, Pujols, Matt Joyce, Nelson Cruz AL Worst Hitter of April – Billy Butler. Billy Butler is a designated hitter. He has an .031 ISO thanks to just three doubles and no homers. He has w...
