Pacquiao confident of beating Marquez

I WOULD give my all, even if it means giving my life, to win the fight.

Manny Pacquiao promised this Thursday on the eve of his departure for the US to start serious training for his title bid against WBA-IBF featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico on May 8 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“All my fights I give back to the Lord, my family and my country,” added Pacquiao during a courtesy call on Manila Mayor Joselito Atienza Jr. accompanied by business manager Rod Nazario and his American promoter, Murad Muhammad.

The conqueror of Mexican featherweight great Marco Antonio Barrera last November will leave on a PAL flight at 10 tonight for Los Angeles where he will immediately hook up with trainer Freddie Roach at the American’s Wild Card gym to regain his old fighting form.
