HOT POTATO via Hollywood, California – When Pound-for-Pound King Manny Pacquiao steps into the ring for the third time against his longtime nemesis lightweight champion, Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico City at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 12, he is going to knock the Chilango’s head off.
“This fight is personal,” says Pacquiao. “I am not saying I will knock him out. But, you know, I do not like that guy (referring to Marquez). He talks too much.”
Pacquiao continues, “I’m not pissed off or angry but I am very motivated in this fight because what more do I need to do to prove that I’m going to win the fight.”
Pacquiao, despite ranging anger inside of him in monstrosity, smiles and chuckles at times. And, then, he turns so serious with gripping hands and grinding jaws. He talks in much brevity. His dislikes of Marquez started after their last encounter in the ring in 2008. Marquez never stops ranting, saying “I beat Pacquiao twice and I will beat him again.”
