Freddie Roach wants to shut up Juan Manuel Marquez

After knowing that is almost certainly the third fight between the ?Pound for Pound King? Manny Pacquiao and the Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez, the popular trainer Freddie Roach was in favor of it, because that is the fight they were looking for.

?It?s the fight I want. It?s the one we were asking for cause we want to shut them up and to prove they never get robbed.? Freddie Roach assured to the cameras of ESPN en espa?ol.

Neither Marquez nor his team have accepted the two previous results of the long feud between him and Manny Pacquiao, and consider that in both fights, they deserved the victory.

?What makes me nervous about that fight thus, it?s that sometimes people have people numbers, and he [Marquez] might have Manny?s numbers.? Said concerned the Wild Card Gym owner.

Of all the ?Elite? fighters that have faced the ?Demonio Filipino?, Marquez is the only one he never could dominate, having to deal with his counterpunch style for twenty-four rounds in two fights.

The results of these fights were so contentious that even today, no fans or experts agree on who was the winner among the two warriors.

?I know Manny Pacquio has came along weights in and he is a much complete fighter now than he was back then in. This is not an easy fight [?] I?m a little nervous by the fight, yes, but I?d love this fight better than Mayweather.? Ended.
