"You know, actually, I do not need to see the battle once again. I do not assume Marquez can be a very good battle for Manny," said previous WWE star turned combined martial artist Dave Batista, who shared his views around the December eight showdown in between 8-division globe champion Manny Pacquiao and 4-division globe champion Juan Manuel Marquez. Boxing followers could remember observing the Filipino-American Batista escorting Manny Pacquiao towards the ring before his devastating 2nd spherical KO of Ricky Hatton back again in 2009. Because then, Batista continues to be an avid supporter of his fellow Filipino, nevertheless, he is not so keen to view Pacquiao stage in to the ring with Marquez for any fourth time.

"I assume you're gonna see precisely the same point you noticed the initial 3 occasions (laughing). Manny goes to become genuine intense and Marquez is gonna be counter-punching. It isn't a battle that I genuinely wanna see once again and I adore Manny to demise," Batista would clarify within a discussion with FightHype's personal Percy Crawford. "He is my preferred fighter within the globe certainly, but I do not need to see him battle Marquez once again. It is just not an excellent matchup."
