Pacquiao to meet Marquez
in WBC title showdown
BY CEDELF TUPAS
LOS ANGELES – Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez will defend his World Boxing Council super featherweight crown against Filipino star Manny Pacquiao next March 15 at Las Vegas, promoters announced here Thursday.
The bout, backed by Golden Boy promotions, is a rematch of a 2004 draw in which Pacquiao knocked Marquez to the canvas three times in the first round. One judge scored the fight for each boxer and the third had the matchup even.
Marquez, 34, is 48-3 with one drawn and 35 knockouts while Pacquiao, who turns 29 next month, is 45-3 with two drawn and 35 knockouts. 
| La Salle XI rules group The University of St. La Salle avoided a quarterfinal early confrontation with powerhouse San Carlos and lined up for a possible titular showdown with arch rival West Negros College after winning its last group match yesterday in the NOFA Provincial Under-19 Football Championships in Bago City. The La Sallians' 4-1 triumph over Kabankalan City clinched them the top spot in Group D, ahead of Don Bosco Technical Institute, which now has the unenviable task of facing San Carlos in the quarterfinals today. Despite losing by default to Domingo Lacson National High School , San Carlos advanced as the top team in Bracket C with University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos placing second. |
