Juan Manuel Marquez believes that he will need a knockout to defeat Manny Pacquiao in their welterweight contest on Saturday night.

Juan Manuel Marquez has admitted that he feels he needs to produce the "perfect fight" to defeat Manny Pacquiao on Saturday night.

Pacquiao secured a controversial points victory over the Mexican in their third bout last year and Marquez wants to take a judges' decision out of the equation by stopping his Filipino opponent.

Marquez told BBC World Service: "I am looking for the knockout. I have trained really hard and I feel ready.

"I am looking for the knockout because the judges gave another decision [when we last met]. I need to do a perfect fight."

The 39-year-old has won 54 of his 61 professional fights.
