MANILA, Philippines – Boxing congressman Manny Pacquiao can’t wait to start training for his third face-off against Juan Manuel Marquez.
Pacquiao said in his Philboxing.com column, “Kumbinasyon”, that he has a score to settle with his Mexican nemesis.
“I can't wait to step into the ring and train for this fight because there seems to be some unfinished business with Mr. Marquez,” said the 8-division boxing champion.
Pacquiao scored 3 first-round knockdowns against Marquez only to settle for a controversial draw in 2004.
He again knocked down Marquez once during their rematch in 2008 en route to a split-decision win.
Pacquiao vowed to pull off a convincing win in his third fight against Marquez on November 12.
“Marami akong dapat tapusin at patunayan sa ikatlong laban namin (I have something to finish and have a lot to prove in our third fight),” he said.
Pacquiao will again kick off his preparations with high-altitude training in Baguio City following their world promotional tour.
His trainer, Freddie Roach, already laid out plans for a longer training camp for the fight against Marquez.
“Magsisimula pa rin ang training para sa laban na ito sa high-altitude camp namin sa Baguio City at tatapusin sa Los Angeles, kung saan mahigit na sampung taon na akong bumabalik-balik,” said Pacquiao.
(I’ll begin training for this fight in our high-altitude camp in Baguio City and will finish our sessions in Los Angeles, where I’ve been training for more than 10 years).
