GRAPEVINE, Texas – Only minutes after the greatest performance of Manny Pacquiao’s career to date, after he drubbed Oscar De La Hoya and stopped him following eight one-sided rounds, trainer Freddie Roach was asked about a potential match with Antonio Margarito. Roach laughed, shook his head and insisted the fight would never happen. “Too big,” Roach said. “Far too big.” credits: sports.yahoo.com
The head of the largest sports book in Las Vegas is feeling a bit lonely this weekend. "Not having the fight here slows us down," said Jay Rood, director of the MGM Resorts book. In an entertaining read Friday, Times columnist Bill Dwyre explained why Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito for the WBC junior-middleweight title (albeit at a catch weight of 150 pounds, which is four pounds lighter than the division's actual weight limit) should be fought not in Arlington, Texas, but in Nevada.

I spoke to trainer Robert Garcia moments ago after the final press conference for the Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito fight this Saturday at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Last night when I first reported on a video I saw by FanHouse.com correspondent Elie Seckbach wherein Antonio Margarito and Brandon Rios appeared to be mocking Freddie Roach's Parkinson's Disease by imitating his uncontrollable shakes.

Finally, Robert Garcia, Antonio Margarito’s soft-spoken trainer, is now also into the business of predicting.Initially shunning the question of when he expects his fighter to take out Manny Pacquiao in their 12-round World Boxing Council (WBC) super-welterweight title bout this Saturday, Garcia boldly announced he expects the knockout to come later in the fight.Specifically in the 11th round.“I like it in the later rounds. I’m picking 11," said Garcia moments after stepping down from the ring following the open workout the 32-year-old Margarito did Tuesday afternoon at the Longhorn Exhibit Hall of the Gaylord Texan Hotel.

Despite the hand wrap controversy that scathed his career last year, there have still been several positive and telling moments that had stood out about Antonio Margarito prior. In particular, his July 2008 victory over Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is his most shining moment as a professional as he overcame a slow start to eventually stop his Puerto Rican foil in the 11th round. Hoisted by his team and showered with adoration by the 10,477 partisans in attendance, you could visibly see just how much the moment meant to the Tijuana fighter. Read More...

Manny Pacquiao’s conditioning coach Alex Ariza is worried his ward may be too small against Antonio Margarito, whom the Filipino will fight November 13 (November 14 Philippine time) at a catch weight of 151 pounds. Ariza wants Pacquiao to bulk up and tip the scale between 146 to 148 pounds during the weigh in. To achieve that objective, he devised a regimen that will allow Manny to bulk up but still maintain his speed, or at least still fast enough against Margarito. Pacquiao’s walking weight is said to be between 150 to 155 pounds, when not in training. Bulking him a little bit should not be a problem for Pacquiao. Read More... credits: asiancorrespondent.com
