Manny Pacquiao vowed to end disputes and controversies bugging him and his fans
against his archenemy, the Mexican superstar Juan Manuel Marquez in their upcoming
fight this December at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
After two controversial
wins against the Mexican fighter, Manny told People’s Journal
that he “would like to win this time impressively,” and by impressively, he
meant a “knockout.”
“I don’t really make
predictions in my fights, but this time, I promise that I’ll knock him out,”
Pacquiao told People’s Journal.
The eight-division
world champion wanted to prove his critics and Marquez wrong who expressed
doubts on the judges’ decisions in their last fights.
“I want to erase any doubts this time around. To do that, I will not
underestimate him like I did in November. I will stay focused in my
preparations, study and apply new techniques I did not use in our previous
meetings,” Pacquiao said.
“I need to be
aggressive. I want this fight to be different than the last ones. I want a win
that is decisive,” he added.
Meanwhile, Buboy Fernandez,
Pacquiao’s longtime trainer and friend told People’s Journal on
a separate article that his friend will be a little cautious this time around.
After the
counterpunching and alleged foot stomping that Marquez displayed in their last
fight, Fernandez told that his friend “will give more emphasis on defense, while not forgetting the
all-important offense.”
Pacquiao
will face Marquez for the fourth time after their unimpressive third fight in
November 12 last year.
