Pacquiao: “What Happened With Marquez Will Not Happen Again!”

Manny Pacquiao (60-7-2, 39 KOs)  will fight  Adrien Broner (33-3-1-1 NC, 24 KOs) on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Broner will want to drill Pacquiao in the same manner that Juan Manuel Marquez pulled off in 2012, but Pacquiao says that won't happen. “I know he is going to counter me but we’re ready for that. What happened in the Juan Manuel Marquez fight will not happen again. It was a mistake and I learned that mistake. We’ve worked on that in this training camp. I am prepared for Broner’s style," Pacquiao said. “This is a challenge because it is my first fight as a 40-year-old. I have something to prove to everyone about what that means. Age is just a number. What matters is how you prepare and that you’re working hard. “I don’t need to dislike my opponent to want a knockout. I’m just doing my job in the ring. If the knockout comes, it comes. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, I’ll be there."
