ESPINOSA SAYS MARQUEZ WILL NEVER BEAT PACQUIAO


PhilBoxing.com




Former world bantamweight and featherweight champion Luisito Espinosa says Mexico?s Juan Manuel Marquez will never beat Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao ?even if they fought ten times.?

Espinosa made the statement in an exclusive interview with Viva Sports prior to his departure for the US today.

Espinosa said Pacquiao had ?too much power? for Marquez backed up by incredible courage. The former world champion in two fiercely competitive divisions said he was amazed at the kind of fighter Pacquiao was and said he would remain champion "for many years provided he remained disciplined and looked after himself."

At the same time Espinosa said he felt there is no need for Pacquiao to give Marquez another chance saying ?he beat him already. What for? Marquez can never beat Manny.?

Espinosa revealed plans to return home in May and together with a close friend open a gym in Tagig and begin training young fighters. He said that while the gym is taking shape he would train fighters at the Elorde Gym along Sucat, Paranaque.

Over the past few days Espinosa spent time training the grandsons of the late Gabriel ?Flash? Elorde, Bai and Mig, sons of Johnny and Liza Elorde who had made Espinosa?s visit for the Flash Elorde Annual Awards possible.

Espinosa who lives in Daly City and works at Cosco said he is hoping Games and Amusements Board chairman Eric Buhain will be able to help him get his long-delayed $150,000 purse for his title defense against Carlos Rios in Koronodal in a fight card promoted by then governor Larry De Pedro.
