Las Vegas -- The final presser for this Saturday's (Sunday morning in Manila) main event between Ring Magazine lightweight champion Joel Casamayor of Cuba and Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico has been completed this afternoon at the press room of the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino here with both fighters trumpeting the usual line of coming out victorious after the fight.
A very fit and trim Oscar de la Hoya, who will meet Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao on Dec. 6 for a blockbuster fight, hosted the straight forward, with no questions and answers, press conference.
