Juan Manuel Marquez tells how Bradley could beat Pacquiao
If there is one pugilist on the planet who knows what it feels and know what it's like to fight and beat Manny Pacquiao, it's his Mexican archrival Juan Manuel Marquez.
Both fighters traded punches with bad intentions inside the ring on four occassions with Pacquiao earning a record of 2-1-1 against his rival.
In their last bout held on December 8, 2012, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, Márquez defeated Pacquiao by knockout with one second remaining in the sixth round.
A week before Pacquiao's third fight with Timothy Bradley, Marquez publicly gave tips to the American fighter on how he can possibly defeat the Filipino ring icon come fight night.
"I do not think there will be many changes [with Bradley] with his new trainer Teddy Atlas," Marquez, who put Pacquiao to sleep in their fourth fight in 2012, told ESPN Deportes.
"He will need to adjust in terms of speed, the speed of his hands and his feet must be moving in the ring and cannot allow himself to be a fixed target for Pacquiao, a fighter with speed and punches very hard."
Furthermore, Marquez cited that ring generalship would be key in the fight, and that Bradley can't afford to panic once Pacquiao starts unleashing his dreaded combinations.
"So Bradley has to move in the ring, stay in the comfort zone and in the combat zone," says Marquez.
"Use side to side movement and not allow Pacquiao to use speed against him." — APG, GMA News
