Pacquiao-Barrera Interviews

David Avila: And another questions is how is it sparring with Valero. I mean, he always goes 100%. I mean this guy’s a murderous puncher

Eric Gomez: He says that yeah, you know what, he says all I can say is he’s a great fighter. He’s a great person; great fighter and we have a great relationship. And we got together and we bonded. We talked about certain things and I told him that basically all those guys that are calling out my name and want to fight against me, I’ll pass them on to him.

Operator: Thank you. Your next question is coming from (Pluto Science)

(”"Foreign Language”"

Eric Gomez: I’ll translate in English. The first question was it’s very interesting Marco you were training with Edwin Valero. Edwin Valero has been very vocal and open on criticizing Manny Pacquiao in the past. He said that Manny Pacquiao has many flaws in his style. Did you guys ever talk about that?

Marco said yes, you know, we talked about different things and his style and there is some flaws there. I can’t really be specific or I don’t want to get into being specific on some of the flaws that we came out with. But yes, he gave me some advice.

And then the second question was you fought Manny Pacquiao it’s going to be almost five years now. What’s the difference between the Manny Pacquiao you fought then and the Manny Pacquiao you’re going to fight October 6?

And he said well Manny has way more experience and he’s become more of a complete fighter. He’s refined his tools and I just think that he’s more of a complete fighter now.

Jun Llagan: Will you be changing your style and strategy on October 6? And how differently will you be fighting that evening? And whatever strategy you will adopt, how different will that be from that of say Morales and Solis

Maybe what I want to find out is what exactly is the game plan that would be - I mean, are you adopting a different game plan on October 6 compared to your other fight, previous fight with Manny Pacquiao? Thank you.

Eric Gomez: His answer was, you know, I’m going to make a good fight. I think that the public is going to be very, very happy. It’s going to be a very good fight. They’re going to like the fight. You know, there’s not too much I can change. I’m 33 years old. I’ve been boxing. I have my style.

People know the way I fight. Everybody knows me. You know, I really can’t go into details, but I’m just going to make it a good fight. It’s going to be a very good fight.

Eduard Cauich: (”"Foreign Language”")

Eric Gomez: The question was Marco do you feel that it’s going to help you having the rematch now versus having the rematch right after you lost the first fight? How do you feel about that - having the rematch now towards the end of your career?

And Marco said, you know, the most important thing for me is the opportunity. That first fight you can basically, you can throw it out the window. It was a bad night. I had a bad night that first fight.

You know, the big difference I think from the first fight and this fight is the preparation. The preparation I had for this one is so good. I just feel so confident, so good because preparation for this fight.

Eduard Cauich: (”"Foreign Language”")

Eric Gomez: The question was Marco have you learned from the errors? Did you learn from the errors that Erik Morales had, you know, on his two losses to Manny Pacquiao. And are you going to implement some of those.

And Marco said you know what? You know, he made a lot of errors. There was a lot of errors in those two fights but let’s not talk about that. Let’s talk about the first fight when he did everything perfect and he beat him. He beat him from the opening bell. That’s what I’m concentrating on.

Eduard Cauich: (”"Foreign Language”")

Eric Gomez: How much have the three videos or the three fights of Erik Morales helped you.

And he says yeah, obviously, you know, they’ve helped me but I know the guy. I know him. I see him in my sleep. I see him all the time. I know exactly what he does. I know how he fights. So I’m prepared. I’m going to be ready for this fight.

Dan Rafael: Eric could you ask Marco so many times in his career he’s been written off after the Junior Jones fights, nobody gave him a chance in the Nasim Hamed fight. You know, a lot of people thought maybe Rocky Juarez would beat him in the second fight given how hard the first fight was.

But he has had this amazing ability over the course of his career to come up with a huge win when very few people expect it. Does he - what does he - what is the reason for that in his mind? And, you know, does he believe that this is going to be the greatest one of all of them?

Eric Gomez: He said that, you know, more than anything it’s the motivation that gets him up for these fights. The motivation of the nay-sayers, the people that are putting him down; they say that he’s out. He says I like to shut their mouth. So it’s happened in the past, you know, yes they criticize me.
