After a hard training camp, Manny Pacquiao (45-3-2, 45 KO's) is ready for his rematch against Juan Manuel Marquez (47-3-1, 34 KO's), Saturday, March 15 in Las Vegas.

"This is the toughest ever not only because this was the longest but the hardest as well," he tells the Manilla Bulletin. "I had to sacrifice a lot like being away from my loved ones. I also did not allow myself to get bothered by distractions as I set them all aside during my eight-week training."

A former WBC flyweight champion and IBF super-bantamweight champion, Pacquiao will challenge Marquez for the WBC super-featherweight crown. Currently, he is the -215 favorite in the Bodog Sportsbook while the current champ Marquez is a +175 underdog.

Their first fight, in May of 2004, ended in a controversial draw when Pacquiao knocked Marquez down 3 times in the first round but went on to lose the rest of the match. Afterwards, one of the judges admitted to making a mistake while filling out the scorecards.

This time, Marquez is determined to win. "I am going to show on Saturday that I deserved to win our first fight," he says.
