By Dan Ambrose: Former WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley thinks that Mike Alvarado (34-2, 23 KO’s) must come directly at Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KO’s) this Saturday and focus on throwing a lot of punches for him to have a chance at beating the 40-year-old fighter at the Forum in Inglewood, California.
Bradley doesn’t think Alvarado has the boxing skills to move around the ring the way he did in beating Marquez, so he must focus on doing what he does best by trying to outwork him. Marquez is a counter puncher who is capable of throwing little more than 40 punches per round under the best of circumstances, Bradley says. If Alvarado throws more shots each round, he has a better chance of winning.
By Alon Calinao Dy: In many contests, the ultimate winner is the one who fights anybody, and is not afraid to lose in a competitive fight. Not so for Marquez and Mayweather Jr. despite the fact that they have the defensive styles that would make the fight difficult for Pacquiao. I don’t know, but these boxers have big worries that they might not have enough strength and determination to beat the Filipino congressman.
By Dan Ambrose: HBO’s Max Kellerman is giving Mike Alvarado (34-2, 23 KO’s) a decent chance of pulling off an upset on Saturday night in his fight against Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KO’s) at the Forum in Inglewood, California. Kellerman thinks that Alvarado’s size and youth could be a factor in him beating the 40-year-old Marquez. 
By Chris Williams: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is already thinking about putting his Filipino star Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KO’s) back in Macao, China despite the fact that his previous fight over there against Brandon Rios did poorly in terms of pay-per-view numbers last year. 
By Dan Ambrose: Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KO’s) will have a lot on the line this Saturday night against Mike Alvarado (34-2, 23 KO’s) at the Forum in Inglewood, California. Not only will the 40-year-old Marquez have a big payday fight against Manny Pacquiao on the line, but you can pretty much say that Marquez’s career will be on the line. 
By Chris Williams: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum doesn’t want to stage a potential fifth fight between Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KO’s) and Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KO’s) in the United States. Instead, Arum wants to take the two fighters and bring them over to Macao, China, where they can dodge the taxes that they would be hit with for the loot they would make if the fight were to take place in America. 
By Dan Ambrose: 40-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KO’s) will have his career on the line next Saturday night when he faces former WBO 140 pound champion Mike Alvarado (34-2, 23 KO’s) in a fight at the Forum in Inglewood, California. Marquez wants another shot at the WBO welterweight title, so if he beats Alvarado, he’ll very likely be fighting WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao later on this year in what would be a fifth fight between them. 
By Gerardo Granados: Next May 17 at the Forum Inglewood, California, U.S.A; the former multiple division champion veteran Juan Manuel Marquez (W55-L7-D1) returns to the ring against top contender Mike Alvarado (W34-L2-D0). In his last two fights “Mile high” Alvarado got to be considered for the fight of the year award, first against Brandon Rios wining a thrilling rematch and then lost a competitive battle against the current WBO light welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov. On the other corner “Dinamita” Marquez lost a close boxing match against Tim Bradley.
By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach badly wants to have his fighter WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KO’s) get a 5th fight against the soon to 41-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KO’s), because Roach thinks Marquez has aged and deteriorated somewhat since knocking his fighter Pacquiao out cold two years ago in 2012. Roach believes that Pacquiao can beat Marquez now, and he thinks the fight will bring in over 1 million pay-per-view buys on HBO as well. 
By Chris Williams: Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KO’s) says he has zero interested in fighting Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KO’s) for a 5th time, as what Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is hoping for. Instead of Marquez fighting Pacquiao, he wants him to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. in order to give boxing fans the fight that they really want to see. Marquez feels that he’s had enough fights against Pacquiao, and he doesn’t want to waste time fighting him a fifth time.
