Marquez vs. Ramos
Tonight Juan Manuel Marquez fights Colombian Likar Ramos at 140 lbs.
The fight's a tune-up for the Pacquiao match in November. Marquez will be fighting above 135 pounds for only the second time ever, the first being in his notorious lopsided loss to Floyd Mayweather, Jr. This fight will be telling of how Marquez deals with the added weight.
Problem is, if Marquez loses tonight, the fight with Pacquiao is off.
He shouldn't lose. Ramos is lightly regarded and nowhere near the class of Marquez. Then again, so was James "Buster" Douglas when he fought Mike Tyson, and we all know what happened then.
The fight streams on www.toprank.tv at 9 pm ET. This is an important fight, and as with all Marquez fights, it's a must-watch.
JD's Prediction
Marquez by TKO in 5.
Update
Marquez KO'd Ramos in the first round. Seemed like it could have been fake. It came off of a powerful straight right hand to the chin, but not powerful enough.
Hate to say it--it could have been a setup. Marquez may get heat for this one.

Timothy Bradley
140 is a stacked division right now. Tons of tremendously talented fighters--Amir Khan, Marcos Maidana, Devon Alexander, Zab Judah, and Andriy Kotelnik to name just a few--have kept this weight class bubbling with excitement. The talent is astronomical and the competition is fierce.
One belt-holder in particular stands out among the rest, though: the Desert Storm Timothy Bradley.
