Marques will end the bout 12bet update 11/04

Juan Manuel Marquez says his third bout with Manny Pacquiao should end all doubt over who is the better fighter.

The Mexican is out to prove his worth after failing to come out on top in the first two contests between the pair with the first clash ending in a draw and Pacquiao claiming a close split decision in the second.

Marquez faces the pound-for-pound king again in Las Vegas on November 12 and he is determined to show that he was right to claim he won the first two encounters.

"That's why we are doing this third fight (to settle all questions)," he said.

"The first two were very close and this fight should end all doubt. We are not the only ones saying we won the fights.

"There are a lot of fans and media out there saying the same thing - that we won those two fights.

"I am motivated just as much as he is. We all have opinions and my opinion is that I didn't get the decisions I deserved."

The 38-year-old Marquez doesn't think his age will be a factor at the MGM Grand and he is also paying no attention to the bookies making him the big outsider.

"I don't believe age has anything to do with it. I prepare myself very well and I'm going to be just as good as I would have been a few years ago

"People can make bets and if they like to odds that is fine with me. It has nothing to do with my fight.

"I have to go into the fight with the mentality that I have to win each round and if the opportunity comes I go for the knockout.

"I am not going to hesitate if the opportunity is there." - http://www.sportinglife.com

Bute and Johnson face with Hopkins 12bet update 11/01

Both RING No. 3-rated, IBF super middleweight beltholder Lucian Bute and former titleholder Glen Johnson say that they would consider a bout opposite 46-year-old WBC light heavyweight titleholder Bernard Hopkins beyond their Showtime-televised clash on Saturday night from Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.

A Romanian-born left-hander, the 31-year-old Bute is 29-0, with 24 knockouts and will be in pursuit of his seventh consecutive stoppage when he enters the ring against the durable, 42-year-old Johnson (51-15-1, 35 KOs) at Pepsi Coliseum.

Hopkins is coming off a controversial fight against Chad Dawson on Oct. 15, in which Dawson was initially declared a second-round technical knockout victor when Hopkins suffered an apparent shoulder injury. The WBC voted to declare the fight a technical draw and let Hopkins keep his belt, though the California Athletic Commission has yet to rule on an official appeal filed on behalf of Hopkins by his promoter, Golden Boy.

Hopkins had been considering Bute as an opponent if he got beyond Dawson, and Bute said he would still consider the future Hall of Famer as a viable opponent.

For Johnson, a clash with Hopkins would amount to a shot at revenge. Johnson was unbeaten at 32-0 in July 1997 before being knocked out for the only time in his career in the 11th round by Hopkins.Johnson also offered his opinion on the way that Hopkins-Dawson ended.

Against Bute, Johnson will be taking part in his third fight at 168 pounds after having fought 22 consecutive times as a light heavyweight.

Johnson  is coming off a unanimous-decision loss to WBC beltholder Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KOs) in June in the semifinals of Showtime's Super Six World Boxing Classic.Froch will meet WBA  super middleweight counterpart Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KOs) for THE RING and Super Six championships on Dec. 17.

Johnson's career-best efforts were in successive victories over Roy Jones by ninth-round knockout, by decision over Clinton Woods, and by split-decision over Antonio Tarver in 2004, earning him Fighter of the Year honors. - http://ringtv.craveonline.com
