MANILA, Philippines – Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez again insisted he won his first 2 fights against now 8-divison champion Manny Pacquiao.
Marquez made the statement during the Manila leg of their global press tour promoting their November 12 welterweight title fight.
“I won the first 2 fights… In 2004 and 2008,” he asserted.
This was his reply when asked if his career would be complete even without a win against Pacquiao.
He, however, admitted being grateful to be given the chance to square off with the fighting congressman again.
“I feel very happy for the opportunity… I expect the best Manny Pacquiao for this fight,” said Marquez.
The two boxers will be fighting it out for the 3rd time at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In 2004, Pacquiao scored 3 first round knockdowns against Marquez. The Mexican, however, was able to salvage a draw.
