En el arranque de la gira promocional de la cuarta pelea del filipino Manny Pacquiao y el mexicano Juan Manuel Márquez, el multicampeón oriental admitió que aceptó enfrentar de nuevo a 'Dinamita' pues aún tiene cosas que demostrar.

El pleito de revancha está pactado para el 8 de diciembre en el MGM Grand de Las Vegas, Nevada.

"Quiero borrar la duda de la mente de los fanáticos, quiero mostrar el viejo Manny Pacquiao. Como cuando tenía 24 o 25 años, el hambriento peleador", dijo el filipino, quien tardó cerca de cinco semanas en dar a conocer el nombre de su rival.

Tras mucha insistencia y una espera larga, Márquez aseguró que ésta es la oportunidad que estaba esperando pues quiere demostrar que es mejor en todos los sentidos que el peleador que es considerado uno de los mejores libra por libra.

"Quiero que el referi me levante la mano. Estoy entrenando muy duro para esa pelea. Estaré listo para pelear y ganar de nuevo", agregó Márquez Méndez.

Manny reconoció que eligió la pelea pues ve en el mexicano el rival más duro de su carrera, alguien que sabe anticipar los golpes que recibirá.

Para seguir con el tour de promoción, los peleadores visitarán el miércoles Nueva York y el viernes cerrarán con la Ciudad de México.
