Luis Sandoval catches up with trainer Freddie Roach to discuss Manny Pacquiao's upcoming defense of the WBO welterweight title in a trilogy bout with Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez.

Trainer Freddie Roach, and conditioning coach Alex Ariza, expect WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao to punish Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. They told the Philippine Star that Pacquiao dislikes Marquez because of the Mexican boxer's continued claims that he was robbed in their two previous meetings.

Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5, 39KOs) has promised to erase any doubts on November 12th ay the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, when he faces WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (53-3, 38KOs) for a third time. Marquez continues to train hard at the historic Romanza gym in Mexico.

by David P. Greisman - Conflict, though universal and timeless, is not a 24/7 institution. War is punctuated by periodic negotiations. Professional wrestling needs promos to set up, flesh out or add to the storylines. Even “The Jerry Springer Show” prefaces its tussles with bleep-filled conversation. A fight with no context will still draw attention. Witness schoolyard score settling. Watch the multitude of videos popping up online of brawls at fast food restaurants, diners, sports stadiums, and neighborhood settings somewhere, anywhere and everywhere in America. And fights in the stands at boxing matches can draw the attention away from even the most engaging battle between the ropes. But interest in those battles last only as long as the fights themselves. Giving context adds drama to the action and makes storylines stick. HBO has followed that formula with its “Countdown” shows, its “24/7” miniseries, and most recently its 12-minute “Face Off” broadcasts. The tension between Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye got people talking. So did the verbal sparring between Bernard Hopkins and Jean Pascal. The “Face Off” for the third bout between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez was nowhere near as gripping, partly because of English being the fighters’ second language, and partly because Pacquiao and Marquez have a rivalry in the ring but are respectful outside of it. That leaves the job of getting the conversation going to “24/7 Pacquiao/Marquez,” the first episode of which aired this past Saturday. Let’s talk about the first episode, then. With a nod to syndicated columnist Norman Chad, I took notes: 10:01 p.m. Eastern Time: Liev Schreiber, who could have a second career as the next incarnation of movie preview guy Don LaFontaine, perfectly describes the storyline of this fight:

Having provided fans with two incredible and memorable fights, Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez showed their styles don’t just mesh well in the ring, but also for HBO’s award winning documentary series 24/7. If we were worried whether both fighters could provide an entertaining series, they helped ease those worries with a promising first episode. With the history between both fighters, combined with a third chapter yet to be written, you can’t help but get caught up in the anticipation of seeing two of the best fighters in the world go to war once again.

Judging from the first two fights, what aspect of Pacquiao’s game poses you the most danger heading into the third bout? “I believe that Manny Pacquiao has become a much complete fighter, but his speed and power are still his most dangerous attributes”
