Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez meet Saturday night in a match for both the WBO’s world welterweight title and slightly more substantial bragging rights among the few men who’ve ever defeated Manny Pacquiao in a boxing ring.
Bradley is the WBO champion after winning the belt from Pacquiao via a widely-panned split decision in June 2012, then defending it with a narrow unanimous nod over rugged Ruslan Provodnikov in a fight many have already determined to be the best of the lot in 2013.
Marquez has not fought since his career-defining triumph last December, when he landed a counter right hand that rendered Pacquiao unconscious and provided the lone inarguable result of the four-fight series that’s spanned nine years and 21 pounds.
