At all costs.
While recognizing the importance of his mandatory defense of the IBF crown against fellow Mexican Orlando Salido in September, IBF/WBA featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez yesterday said he wants a rematch with Manny Pacquiao even if it means fighting the Filipino fighter ahead of Salido.
In his first press statement since escaping with a controversial split draw decision against Pacquiao last May in Las Vegas, Marquez expressed his desire to take on Pacquiao first, either in August or September, and vowed to fight in his best form ? mentally and physically ? while guaranteeing to inflict the Filipino boxing hero more harm than the first time out.
