Pacquiao vows to prove superiority over Marquez

Sunday, September 4, 2011
MANILA — Reigning pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao said Saturday that his much-awaited third act in November against Mexican challenger Juan Manuel Marquez will hopefully end doubts to his slim victory in 2008.
Facing the media before their two-hour promotional event at the Quirino Grandstand, Pacquiao said the boxing world will finally know for sure who the better fighter is on November 12 (November 13 in Manila).
WBO welterweight champion Pacquiao said the 37-year-old Marquez has no chance of beating him when they meet again in Las Vegas.
“I won’t let that happen,” Pacquiao said. “And I have to train hard for this fight and to give my best and to give a good show.”
“This is the fight that will answer all the questions,” he added.
If Marquez doesn’t accept the result this time, Pacquiao said he would “just challenge him to a basketball game.”
Pacquiao and Marquez faced thousands of fans in Manila on Saturday to promote the fight.
The two boxers raised their right hands and took an oath of “a true sportsman” in front of about 3,000 cheering fans, partly drawn in by Pacquiao’s television game show, Manny Many Prizes later Saturday night.
Fight promoter Bob Arum said less than 50 of the 16,000 seats for the fight at the MGM Grand were still available and he expected the pay-per-view sales to exceed the 1.4 million for Pacquiao’s last fight against Sugar Shane Mosley in May.
Not to be outdone, Marquez said he has been waiting for the third installment of their epic skirmishes in the ring for so long, adding that the first two fights were as close as any two battles could be.
“I want this fight. I feel very happy to be given this opportunity,” he said, as he launched his bid to snatch the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight crown from the Filipino ring icon.
Four years later, the two crossed paths again with both fighters jockeying for supremacy. The judges ruled in favor of Pacquiao, although in a one-point split decision.
The big question that looms over the prized fight is if Marquez can handle the pressure of winning over Pacquiao’s lightning speed and power punches.
Four years on from their last fight — which was at super featherweight — Marquez is expecting a different challenge this time around.
“This is a different fight, because he changed,” he said. “He’s working with two hands. He uses the right hand.”
He said he would “take care inside the ring,” noting that Pacquiao had improved his speed.
Marquez is generally considered Mexico’s top boxer. He decisively won a rematch with Juan Diaz in July 2010 in his first fight since losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. the previous year.
Pacquiao acknowledged Marquez as a “really strong fighter.”
The experienced Mexican said the fight “is very important to me.”
“I trained very hard for this fight,” he said. “I am looking very hard for victory for my fans in Mexico, for my fans around the world, for my fans here in the Philippines.”
His trainer, Ignacio “Nacho” Beristain, is also expected to draw up a solid game plan against the Filipino southpaw in the 144-pound catch weight.
“Of all the opponents I have fought, Marquez is the only one who was able to anticipate my moves and effectively counter most of them not unlike a chess match; but instead of exchanging pieces, we exchange punches,” Pacquiao said.
Underlining how both boxers are not taking this fight lightly, Pacquiao’s renowned trainer Freddie Roach said in a statement: “If those two fought ten times, all of those fights will be close.”
The 33-year-old Pacquiao has successfully defended his welterweight title twice, via unanimous decisions over ex-International Boxing Federation welterweight champion Joshua Clottey in March 2010 and former pound-for-pound king Sugar Shane Mosley last May.
Since losing his World Boxing Council (WBC) super featherweight championship belt to Pacquiao in 2008, Marquez, meanwhile, has won five of his last six fights.
Some 16,000 paying fans will troop to the posh MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada for their much anticipated face off while two million households are expected to watch the fight in the United States via pay-per-view.
Additional 20,000 tickets will also be released for fans that will converge outside the venue to watch the game on giant screens, Top Rank chief executive officer Bob Arum said.
After Manila, both fighters will travel to New York, Los Angeles, and Mexico City to promote their world championship trilogy. (Virgil Lopez/AP/Sunnex)
