Roach Wants Pacquiao Training Strictly Off Limits to Outsiders

With the 4th match between Pacquiao and Marquez on the hook, trainer Freddie Roach wants an impressive win from his boxer this time around.

Freddie Roach, Pacquiao boxing coach wants strict "off limits policy" when Manny Pacquiao begins training at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, California.

Roach wants stricter implementation this time around unlike in the past, when Pacquiao hangers, flood the gym premises whenever the boxer trains.

Roach wants an impressive outing against Marquez, especially after the Filipino's lackluster performance in his recent fights. He added that Pacquiao also wanted to put to rest all doubts of his victories over Marquez.

Roach earlier said he wanted nothing less than a knockout from PAcquiao when the Filipino slugs it out against Marquez.

A Manny Pacquiao - Juan Manuel Marquez 4 on December 8?

Manny Pacquiao next fight will be on December 8, but his opponent has yet to be named. Pacquiao's next opponent for his December 8 bout will be named on September 18, and talks are there will be a fourth match against his nemesis Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez.

I think I heard a saying that goes "One is enough, two is too much and three??well I forgot if there is a three or even a four" well you get what I mean. A 4th match against Marquez?? I'm not to upbeat on this fight though, if ever it will push through.

The two have fought three times in a span of nine years. They first fought in 2004, which resulted in a draw. The second fight in 2008 was won by Pacquiao via split decision. The third fight which was just last year was again won by Pacquiao with a majority decision.

The last Pacquiao-Marquez fight sold 1.3 million pay per views compared to only 900,000 for Pacquiao-Bradley.

I guess wishing for a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight would never be realize.
