Don't call me the 'Mexicutioner'

I know what Juan Manuel Marquez is capable of. He is one of the toughest opponents I have ever fought and I have a great deal of respect for his abilities. He is always in shape and very strong. He is the only fighter who has ever figured out my style of fighting

I cannot worry about his preparation or what he brings to the fight, though I do study his fight films and do my homework on him. My main concern is how I prepare for this fight. How I can be better and different from my previous fights with him? In that respect, the biggest danger I face is not doing everything I can do to win this fight.

I do not like the nickname “Mexicutioner.” I love the Mexican boxing fans and that name does not reflect my true feelings about Mexico and its people.

I am planning to be different for this third fight because I am a different fighter from our two previous fights. I move better laterally in both directions than before. I am more comfortable using my right hand. Before I was left-hand happy. Now I am more confident in using my right hand as an effective weapon. It's a lot stronger then the last times we fought. I am so focused for this fight. I will bring a lot more intensity to this battle.
