Juan Manuel Marquez ? I want to leave it out of the judge’s hands

The press tour for Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez?s third bout on November 12 in Las Vegas, Nevada hit New York City and the Mexican fighter made it clear ? he is going for a definitive knock-out victory.

?I want to leave it out of the judges hands,? said a confident Marquez. ?I am going to look for a knock-out.?

In their first encounter Marquez earned a draw, after being knocked down three times in the first round, and then lost via a closely fought split-decision against the current pound for pound champion.

Most boxing experts believe that the welterweight version of Pac quiao, Marquez will now fight, is too strong and fast for the lightweight champion; a sentiment Pacquiao shared today.

?I have changed since the last fight,? said Pacquiao. ?I am better technically, and stronger.? Advertisement

The first two fights were challenged at the featherweight, and super featherweight classes.
