Fight Preview: Marquez v Bradley

This Saturday Night at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Juan Manuel 'Dinamita' Marquez will meet Timothy 'Desert Storm' Bradley.  Bradley will put his WBO World Welterweight Championship on the line against ring legend and 4-time World Champ, Juan Manuel Marquez.  Both fighters are coming off wins against the great Manny Pacquiao, and are now trying to escalate their status, especially Timothy Bradley.  Marquez has proven and made his mark into the sport, Bradley is attempting to leap into stardom by defeating 2 ring legends in consecutive fights.  These two fighters have the ability to make this a great fight, but they both are going to have to be willing to trade.  Despite  Bradley stating that he will use his boxing skills against Marquez, you have to believe Bradley will feel he has to show Marquez that he can trade blow for blow against the future Hall of Famer.  Marquez is coming towards the end of his career, and how would nothing more than becoming a champion for the fight time in his illustrious career.  Bradley must be careful if he does indeed decide to box against possibly the greatest counter-puncher in the fight game.  Marquez would not mind turning this into a war, knowing that he has the power to test that chin of Bradley's that took quite a beating on his last bout versus Ruslan Provodnikov earlier in the year.  This becomes the classic, new and upcoming champ attempting to polish up his profile going up against a future hall of fame boxer who is trying to prove that he still has plenty of gas left in his tank.   Despite the circumstances, fight fans are always in for a treat during a Juan Manuel Marquez boxing match witnessing one of the best ever to lace up a pair of gloves.
Marquez v Bradley is promoted by Top Rank promotions and will be televised on HBO Pay-Per-View, live from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Also in action will be Orlando Cruz versus Orlando Salido for the vacant WBO Featherweight Championship.  A classic Puerto Rico vs Mexico boxing match.

Noez Prediction:
Juan Manuel Marquez by Unanimous Decision
Orlando Salido by Split Decision
