Yet the Filipino settled for a controversial draw.The rematch in 2008 ended in a close split decision victory for Pacquiao.Because of the questions surrounding the two previous bouts, Roach says that Pacquiao needs to do everything he can to knock out the stubborn Mexican warrior.But Roach is not underestimating Marquez.“He will get ready for Manny and he will fight us,” Roach said. “He won’t go into a shell – like some other people have done in the past.”
