Roach said that's as far as it should go.

Marquez Vows Not To Make the Same Mistakes Again

With the bouts have been made in their last two fights, Marquez sets sails to the conclusion of their third fight on November 12 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Marquez says this fight will resolve all the clouded issues in the past and will settle it good all in his favor. It took eight years to materialize the fight and it has come to the attention of many that the last third fight will definitely be a good one.
The wait is now over as the showdown between the two gifted warriors are all set to happen owing their promoters a great deal when it comes to a fantastic match of action packed boxing. The wait could have been longer but Bob Arum made the fight real.
Can the Mexican beat Paquiao’s speed and strength? Has the last two fights gave Marquez the experience he needs to take him down in his third fight? A warrior such as Marquez has reached to a high degree of excellence since he moved up to certain weight categories. By far Marquez is the only fighter that can trade punches with Pacquiao and hurt him much unlike any boxer Pacquiao has fought in the past.
Marquez has setting up some tricks up his sleeves by not rushing in through the first early rounds but rather neutralizing Pacquiao’s speed and power punches. But even with a fast knock out destruction early on in the first few rounds, Marquez needs to penetrate deeper within Pacquiao’s thick armor to really hurt him much. Juan Manuel Marquez must employ cunning tactics and innovative tricks to surprise Manny or nothing new might happen to their blockbuster fight. Pacquiao is set to defend his WBO welterweight title while Marquez is busy working out strategies to defeat Pacquiao in his last chance to redeem his name.
