Juan Manuel Marquez objective is to knock out Filipino pound-for-pound boxing champ Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao to assure his victory in their upcoming fight on November 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
"It is necessary to knock him out," Marquez told BoxingScene.com.
Marquez said that he does not want the fight to be decided by the judges' scorecards.
"When we fought, I landed more power shots, but the judges didn't see it that way," he said.
The November 12 fight will be the two boxer's 3rd meeting in the boxing arena.
The first 2 bouts between the 2 fighters were controversial.
In 2004, Pacquiao settled for a draw, despite knocking down Marquez 3 times in the first round. While their 2008 rematch ended in a split decision victory for Pacquiao.

Parang malabong mangyari yan.. hahahaha
he's not the same as he was in 2004 and 2008... He's now 38... Plus He is a natural Featherweight, coming into 144 lbs catch weight would decrease his speed and punch precision... I predicted it as another unanimous decision or by late round stoppage in favor of Manny.
