BEVERLY HILLS, California (AP) - Three compelling bouts in eight years haven't resolved the rivalry between Pacquiao and Marquez, so they're stepping in the ring together for a fourth bout on Dec 8 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.

And this time, they're both looking for the only decisive ending to any fight: a stone-cold KO.

This time, I will train hard to put this fight up in the history of boxing. I want to make this fight short. I want to knock him out."
