Former WBA and IBF Featherweight Champion Juan Manuel Marquez will once again look to make a good impression with his fans, as he takes on Thailand’s Terdsak Jandaeng for the interim WBO Featherweight Championship of the world. Appearing as a co-main event with his brother Rafael Marquez; the card taking place at MontBleu Resort in gorgeous Lake Tahoe, NV; the card is billed “Double Trouble”. The older Marquez spoke with *********.com about his stunning loss to Chris John as well as his first fight back in the States as well as his plans for the future.
How have you been since your loss to Chris John in Indonesia?
I feel perfectly fine since that fight. It did not affect me at all mentally or physically. We know that we won that fight and we are comfortable with knowing that.
Many people believe that your fight against John was a lot closer than the scorecards would indicate; in fact many people believe you won the fight. What happened?
Everything during the fight was affecting me, the judges, the referee… specially the referee, when I would have Chris John hurt he would break us up, even when we weren’t tied up. We’ve sent videos of the fight to the US and it has been seen and said that one of the low blows was in fact not a low blow and that Chris John really only won 2 rounds
Like many Thailander’s your opponent Terdsak Jandaeng has an impressive record on paper, but if you look into it most of his opponents have been tomato cans with more losses than wins or journeymen at best. He has only fought the type of guys you build up a record with. The only exception is when he fought Joan Guzman, which accounts for his only loss. What do you want to gain from this fight?
We’re not overconfident. We’re prepared and not taking this lightly at all. Every fight to me is now a title fight. Once you’re in the ring you can’t underestimate any opponent, regardless of their record, anybody who makes a living in the ring is a threat.
Even after your loss to Chris John many people’s opinion, is that you are still the man to beat in the featherweight division, when will we see you fighting for a title again?
I’ve been guaranteed a rematch against Chris John immediately following my fight with Terdsak, if all goes well. It will be in the United States this time; it has been told to me I will have that rematch. I’ve gone and fought over there, I think it is only fair he comes this way.
There is a lot of excitement going on in the Super Featherweight Division; right now it’s considered one of boxing’s toughest divisions. Have you thought about moving up to 130lbs?
Like you said there are a lot of good fights at 130, Barrios, Rocky Juarez, Barrera, Pacquiao, Erik. If they came to me looking to make the fight at 130 I would take it.
Would you like to fight Pacquiao again? It was said that you turned down a rematch with Pacquiao because you wanted a $1,000,000. Purse, is that true?
I turned down the rematch because I was only offered $100,000 more than the first fight. Now I thought that economically neither of us were getting the deal we deserved. I don’t think HE was offered enough for such a big fight, neither of us were and I backed out. I think we both deserved more money than what was being offered to both of us. Obviously his promotional team at the time was in the wrong, as he sued and left them. I think now, with a different promotional team we can make that rematch what it should be for both of us
Thank You for your time Juan Manuel, we look forward to seeing you in Tahoe next week.
Thank you, I look forward to the fight next week I know we will win. After that I look very much forward to fighting Chris John again, this time in the US and people will see how that fight really went.
