WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez is very, very confident and ready to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. right now. The fight takes place on September 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Marquez is finishing up his training camp in Mexico and preparing to head over to Los Angeles for some media functions and then to Las Vegas.
"I am ready! If they want, we can fight tomorrow. I am going up against an opponent with a difficult style and he is a great fighter. During the past few weeks of training, I have worked hard in the gym with sparring partners who have a similiar style to Mayweather and I already have a plan to that I expect will get me the victory," Marquez told ESTO.
Marquez is not paying attention to recent media headlines that involve Mayweather. He is only paying attention to the fight. Marquez is getting a lot of inspiration from the great Julio Cesar Chavez.
"I've read that he has had problems, even criminal, but I also know that he is a professional, and that he is going to arrive very well prepared for this battle. I don't place my trust in those things, I' going for the win," Marquez said. "I am inspired by Julio. I admire him for the great sportsman that he was".
"He says that he is going to be at the weight limit of 144-pounds. I will go up to 142, which I consider to be an ideal weight".
