WITH less than five weeks before the most awaited rematch of the top two boxers in the super featherweight category Filipino boxing icon Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and World Boxing Council super featherweight titleholder Juan Manuel Marquez engaged in a slight exchange of words this week. Recently from his training camp in Mexico, Marquez told Paquiao to “Get ready and be prepared” and added that “It’s going to be a different Juan Manuel Marquez on March 15.” Pacquiao answered and said the Mexican should also train very hard”. The Filipino superstar is also happy to hear that his opponent is serious in their upcoming 12-round rematch in Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas dubbed “Unfinished Business”. “It’s good to hear that he’s training hard because that only means that we are going to be in tip-top condition on fight night,” said Pacquiao in a report posted at fightnews.com. The Mexican champion is not thinking of hanging his gloves for good and is confident that he will come out of this fight still the WBC super featherweight champion. “I am not thinking about losing and even retirement. It’s not even on my mind. I am going to win this fight” said Marquez. The 34-year-old is sparring daily with Nicaraguan Eusebio Osejo, Venezuelan Rafael Hernandez and Japanese super lightweight Norio Kimura, who used to be Erik “El Terrible” Morales’ sparring partner.
