BRADLEY VS. MARQUEZ LIVE Fighting tv Online Free HD Channel.

It's Monday. Welcome back for another edition of Observe and Fight, The Boxing Observer's compilation of observations and random thoughts from the past 2 weeks in boxing. Get caught up on some of the most recent events you may have missed out on, including a preview of this weekend's big pay-per-view showdown, a dominant return by Miguel Cotto, another lackluster victory by Wladimir Klitschko, my Chavez Jr. vs. Vera scorecard, Adonis Stevenson's big statement, and much more. Without further ado, check out the latest observations from the Boxing Observer, David Kassel.

• The winner of Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez should move up to #3 in the pound-for-pound rankings. I know that P4P rankings are fictitious, but Marquez is currently in the Top 5 of most rankings, and Bradley continues to receive a lack of respect from the boxing public. Regardless of the Manny Pacquiao controversial decision, Bradley is 30-0 and has defeated some of the best that boxing has to offer. Had Bradley not signed with Top Rank, I have no doubts he would have challenged Floyd Mayweather last May instead of Robert Guerrero. If Bradley wins, no matter how he looks, I feel he needs to be acknowledged as one of the best in the game. If Marquez wins, he will have defeated Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley in back-to-back fights. The winner should only trail Floyd Mayweather and Andre Ward in the P4P rankings. Plain and simple.
• Miguel Cotto looked fantastic on Saturday night, but what should we make of his performance? Delvin Rodriguez is a solid opponent, but he has not been the same fighter since his 2-fight classic with Pawel Wolak. I actually thought Rodriguez would put up a much better showing against Cotto, but I was shocked at the lack of respect Cotto had for Rodriguez. The Miguel Cotto we saw Saturday night looked like the Miguel Cotto of old, but is that the same Miguel Cotto that would show up against a top-tier opponent? I don't think Cotto would look as spectacular against Canelo Alvarez or Sergio Martinez. Based on Cotto's comments after the fight, I would expect Cotto to face middleweight kingpin Sergio Martinez in his next fight. That bout would take place in early 2014 on HBO pay-per-view. It looks like Cotto wants to continue to work with Top Rank, which all but kills a potential clash with Canelo anytime soon.
• Wladimir Klitschko has less potential threats to his heavyweight crown than Floyd Mayweather has to his titles. I know people are complaining about the lack of competition Mayweather has, but at least Mayweather has some serious candidates between 140-160lbs. Wladimir Klitschko just dominated who most believed was the best heavyweight outside of the Klitschko brothers. While Alexander Povetkin put up a much better fight than I thought he would, he was still knocked down 4 times and lost every round in the fight. Wladimir Klitschko does not have a serious threat to his heavyweight crown (neither does Vitali for that matter). The only legitimate threat I see to either man is Deontay Wilder, but Wilder is still 3 or 4 fights away from being ready. I need to see Wilder tested, or dominate a real contender before he is ready. Everyone else is either too slow or too small.
• What was the big controversy over the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Bryan Vera decision? Sometimes, activity does not win a fight. After watching this fight 3 times, I gave it to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Through the first 7 rounds, I only had Vera winning the 5th. I understand that Chavez Jr. prepared for this fight like a unprofessional teenager, but if Vera was willing to agree to terms to get paid, he has to accept the consequences. The weight was most definitely the biggest factor in the fight because Chavez Jr. was certainly landing the more effective shots. Vera's punches, when landed cleanly, did not even back Chavez Jr. up. Most of Vera's punches were blocked by Chavez Jr., who displayed a strong defense. If you were to look at the 2 fighters faces after the fight, it looks like Chavez Jr. lost, but JCC Jr. happens to bruise easier than Bryan Vera. Look at Manny Pacquiao after some of the fights when he wins convincingly. His face looks like it went through a meat grinder, but nobody is complaining he lost the fight. I believe that the backlash from this decision came from the fact that Chavez Jr. acted completely unprofessionally and made a lot of fight fans angry. At the end of the day, if you can take your personal bias out of the equation, it should be clear as day that Chavez Jr. beat Bryan Vera. If the two fighters face off in a rematch at 168 lbs, maybe Vera's punches do some more damage, but they sure didn't win him the fight with Chavez Jr. the first time around. Chavez Jr. won the fight 96-94.
• Adonis Stevenson is proving to me that he is the real deal. Make no mistake about it, Tavoris Cloud is the real deal. Nobody has ever been able to make Cloud quit the way Stevenson did. I said that Stevenson needed to box, and not brawl, to beat Cloud. I just wasn't sure Stevenson was capable of executing that type of game plan. Stevenson showed me that and much more. He is the best light heavyweight in Canada, and I think he will beat the winner of Lucian Bute vs. Jean Pascal should he fight the winner of that January bout. I would personally love to see Stevenson face Andre Ward if Ward moves up to light heavyweight. I believe the more likely scenario we'll see is Ward vs. Chavez Jr. at 168 and Stevenson vs. the winner of Bute/Pascal at 175. If Ward and Stevenson continue to win, we'll see Ward vs. Stevenson in late 2014.
• Terence Crawford was very unimpressive Saturday night. Maybe Crawford wanted to make sure he didn't put himself in any danger of blowing a championship title opportunity in his unanimous decision victory over Andrey Klimov, but Klimov had nothing to offer Crawford. I thought Crawford should have stepped it up to go for the knockout. Crawford is the best the lightweight division has to offer and nobody is even close (with the expection of Adrien Broner, who isn't coming back down to 135). Crawford should clean out the 135lb division over the next year before moving up to 140lbs.
• The undercard for Bradley vs. Marquez is nothing to scoff at. The co-feature will be a war between Orlando Salido and Orlando Cruz. Vasyl Lomachenko's professional debut is very appealing because he is going 10 rounds against Jose Ramirez. Lomachenko has never gone more than 3 rounds as an amateur, and that's with headgear. How will he handle the punishment later in the fight? I think he is going to need to knock Ramirez (25-3 15 KO's) out within the first 5 rounds or he might be in serious trouble.
• Does anyone think Jessie Vargas is regretting his decision to leave Mayweather Promotions to sign with Top Rank? Vargas probably thought he would get more TV dates and a shot to be a welterweight player, but all he's gotten out of the deal is a few TV appearances on low-level boxing broadcasts. This weekend is no different as he headlines an UniMas TV card on Friday night as a prelude to Bradley vs. Marquez. The fact that Vargas couldn't get himself into position to open up the PPV should tell you what Top Rank thinks of him as a fighter.
• It's looking more and more likely that Amir Khan will face Floyd Mayweather in May. The fact that Khan has played more games regarding an Alexander or Mayweather fight than Elizabeth Taylor has had marriages shows that Khan is holding out for a Mayweather clash without taking any risks. Luis Collazo, a native of Queens, was mentioned as a possible opponent for Alexander after Khan fell out, but now it looks like Shawn Porter is taking Collazo's spot. Why not have Khan take on Collazo as the main event December 7th, with Malignaggi vs. Judah as the co-feature? If Khan cannot beat Collazo, he certainly will be out of the running for a Mayweather fight, and that card will draw plenty of interest in NYC.
