Prediction: Pacquiao will end Marquez in 6 rounds

2011-09-08T23:13:00.000-07:00

Manny Pacquiao will handily beat Juan Manuel Marquez in 5 or 6 rounds, according to some boxing analyst and many boxing fans. Analysts cited several factors that will favor the country’s 8-division champion over the Mexican boxer. Manny’s so powerful, and he’s fighting at a higher weight),” They said. Many believes that even with help from weight experts, Marquez will still have a hard time maintaining his speed at 144 pounds because of his age.

It will be difficult for Marquez to go up to 144. He’s much slower at 38 years old. Pacquiao-Marquez have already fought twice. The last time they fought was in 2008 at the super featherweight division (130 lbs). On November 12, Pacquiao and Marquez will square off for the third time at the 144 lb. catchweight. With the way Manny trains, his speed, his power and conditioning, I think Manny will win by technical knockout, 5 or 6 rounds.

Mayweather vs Ortiz: Really strange to someone?

2011-08-18T23:21:00.000-07:00

Floyd Mayweather vs Víctnr Ortiz will face each other on September 17 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In my opinion, Mayweather is going to walk to Victor Ortiz. Although the boy came to put him a hand, the difference in speed is important. Ortiz hits not assimilate very well, but Mayweather does not have a prominent attached so it does not smell KO. Here the approach will be strategic and Floyd will be a night at the office showing off his swordsmanship, the best in boxing today.

Ortiz, son of Mexicans born in Kansas, is an exciting fighter, hardened and pass a legitimate champion. At 24 came the 'Vicious' the pinnacle of his career when he defeated Andre Berto unanimous decision in a fight anthology on 16 April. Beyond that Ortiz has had interesting encounters, among others, the Argentinian Maidana, who lost by technical knockout in six rounds and against Nate Campbell who passed by decision.

But still, it is clear that the disorder is so prevalent in boxing. Regardless of whether Pacquiao, who will fight November 12 against Juan Manuel Marquez, willy-nilly take dozens of tests requiring steroids discard Mayweather in boxing at the end are the promoters, fighters and some epileptic entities who disguise of authority and take their own measures.

2011-08-10T01:00:00.000-07:00

Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer has revealed that the upcoming WBC welterweight contest between Floyd Mayweather and champion Victor Ortiz will be the most ‘heavily promoted’ bout in the history of boxing. Mayweather and Ortiz meet on September 17. This is also dubbed as a comeback fight for Mayweather who has been missing inside the ring for more than 16 months. His last fight was up against Shane Mosley way back in May 2010 where he won the WBA Super Welterweight World title via unanimous decision. The still-undefeated boxer has a record of 41 wins with 25 of them by knockouts. He holds nine world titles in five different weight divisions. He was previously considered as the second pound for pound boxer in the world but his name soon slipped down after having been inactive in the boxing world for more than a year, where Manny Pacquiao currently holds the top spot, much to his chagrin. Ortiz will need to find a way to land one of his big punches, potentially hoping that Mayweather is a bit rusty or his reflexes are a bit slower with age and time. Mayweather will look to counter punch and take advantage of ample opportunities to hit the aggressive, less experienced and less talented fighter. Well, Mayweather vs Ortiz is really an interesting match and I guess every Pacquiao fan will want to see this fight. So, better Watch Mayweather vs Ortiz this September 27 to see who among them will take home the WBC World Welterweight title.

After Shane Mosley they consider Marquez

2011-04-26T21:30:00.000-07:00

Talks are already rife about Pacquiao’s next fight penciled for November possibly against Mexico’s master counter-puncher, Juan Manuel Marquez, in case Floyd Mayweather finally wakes up one day realizing that it’s about time to face the Filipino sporting icon. But assuming Mayweather remains deaf and callous to the public clamor, Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum has already somebody in mind to close out 2011 with a bang.

Still, even if a script is already made for the next move, an unforeseen circumstance lurks behind, something that should put everything upside. A hundred miles away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, Shane Mosley is plotting the destruction of boxing’s premier attraction when they finally come face-to-face and mano-a-mano on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Holed out in Big Bear, nestled in the San Bernardino mountains that is almost 8,000 feet above sea level, Mosley has been training since early-March as though he would be up not only against Pacquiao but against the gazillions of Pacquiao fans.

“You just have to keep going, and going and going (in training),” said Mosley from his high-altitude training camp, his voice oozing with heightened optimism.

Even Arum sounds a bit concerned of what a cagey veteran like Mosley can bring to the ring.

“Shane can take a good shot and he is so resilient,” said Arum.

Obviously, Pacquiao realized very early that despite the lackluster ending of Mosley’s last two fights, taking him for granted is tantamount to giving the other guy an advantage.

Pacquiao still favorite by bettors’ bet

2011-04-17T08:36:00.000-07:00

A look at the latest odds shows that Mosley's marquee opponent, pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao, on May 7 in Las Vegas remains the huge favorite in their scheduled 12-round World Boxing Organization welterweight match-up at the MGM Grand. Sportsbook lists Pacquiao a -800 favorite and Mosley a +500 underdog, meaning an $800 bet on Pacquiao would only win $100 and a mere $100 wager on Mosley would win $500.

That, despite of Mosley’s no-nonsense preparation. Even Pacquiao's Canadian adviser Mike Koncz was surprised with the way Mosley appeared when he faced the media last Tuesday.

"Mosley looks in real great shape," said Koncz, who had obviously seen the American puncher's photos on the internet as he was working out for the media. "His body is toned and you can see that he is taking the fight very seriously," added Koncz.

Mosley actually beat Pacquiao to the punch as he reported for training camp some 10 days before the Filipino actually went up to Baguio City with Freddie Roach. At 39 years old, Mosley believes he still has a lot of championship juice left and that the world will be in for a shock come fight night. Mosley said he prefers to win big – as in by knockout – against Pacquiao.

But Pacquiao is also eyeing the same kind of ending as nobody has yet stop Mosley dead in his tracks. Although Mosley has suffered a few losses, he has never been stopped in his stellar career. Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley is promoted by Top Rank in association with MP Promotions,Sugar Shane Mosley Promotions, Tecate and MGM Grand.

Pacquiao No. 1 in Ring Magazine's 100 list

2011-01-08T21:19:00.001-08:00

Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao was chosen by Ring Magazine as its top boxer among the "100 best fighters in the world" for 2010.

The 100 list, compiled by Ring Magazine's William Dettloff, included 2010 boxing achievers like Sergio Martinez, Juan Manuel Marquez, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, and Fernando Montiel.

"As most of us expected, Pacquiao made mincemeat out of Antonio Margarito, who not so long ago everyone was calling the most feared fighter in the world," Dettloff said in his blog.

Pacquiao was earlier chosen by fight fans as Ring Magazine’s “2010 Fighter of the Year”.

Ring Magazine is considered as the “bible of boxing."

"Along with everyone else we would have preferred the year ended with a superfight against the next guy on this list, but you can’t have everything," Dettloff said.

The "next guy" he's referring to is No. 2 ranked Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Pacquiao’s next fight is against former welterweight champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley, who is ranked No. 17 on the list.

"The Filipino Flash" Nonito Donaire Jr. also made it into the respectable list. He is just a notch below Marquez at No. 5.

"Donaire obliterated Wladimir Sidorenko (KO 4) on December 4, his third fight of 2010 -- quite busy indeed for a top pound-for-pounder these days," said Dettloff.

The Filipino Flash is currently preparing for his February 19 bantamweight title clash against No. 7 ranked Montiel.

“Montiel probably qualifies as the best fighter Donaire has ever faced and what happens when they meet will go a long way toward determining where Donaire appears on this list next year,” said Dettloff.

Mosley is durable and poses big threat to Pacquiao

2010-12-30T00:56:00.000-08:00

At 39, Shane Mosley can still pull the trigger. That’s why Bob Arum, Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach are saying it’s not going to be an easy fight.

“Shane is a very durable guy. He has a very good chin,” said Roach, who knows a good match when he sees one.

The multiple winner of the Trainer of the Year award said Pacquiao’s May 7 showdown with Mosley is not going to be a walk in the park because they’re hard to find these days.

“There’s no easy fight out there anymore,” said Pacquiao.

“People said the fight against Margarito was going to be easy. Was it easy? You all saw what happened,” added the vacationing Filipino champion.

Yes, Pacquiao has been on a roll, winning his last 13 fights. Most recently, he’d been up against the big boys, Oscar dela Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito.

Mosley, who beat Dela Hoya twice (in 2000 and 2003), lost to Cotto in 2007, and crushed Margarito in 2009, has never been knocked out in his long and colorful career.

The closest the pride of Pomona, California came to being stopped was against Vernon Forrest a very long time ago. He said it won’t happen against Pacquiao in Las Vegas.

“It won’t be easy but I think we can stop him in the later rounds. It won’t be an easy fight. When he beat Margarito everybody thought he was the best welterweight,” Roach added.

The celebrated trainer also told boxingtalk.com that Pacquiao won’t take Mosley lightly, and he wants eight full weeks of training beginning in March.

People have started to liken Mosley to Bernard Hopkins, the 45-year-old boxer who just wouldn’t stop. He came off two early knockdowns to beat 28-year-old light-heavy Jean Pascal just weeks ago.

“I demolished Margarito and then I knocked him out. Manny didn’t knock him out after I did and I don’t understand. This will be a great fight and it will be exciting. Everybody who has ever wanted to mix it up with me has gotten knocked out,” Mosley added. Pacquiao vs Mosley will face each other on May 7, 2011 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

At stake in the 12-round blockbuster title clash is the World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight crown.

Pacquiao, who weighed in at 144.6 lbs. on Friday, will have to contend against Margarito’s size advantage.

The Mexican tipped the scales at an even 150 lbs to make their agreed catch weight limit. Margarito is expected to climb the ring today at around 160-165 lbs.

Pacquiao, however, is confident that he will beat Margarito to the punch with his superior speed.

"I'm not worried," Pacquiao said in a report by LA Times.com. "That's what we did for training — train hard. My weight came down from what it was to make me faster.

"For the last week and a half, [trainer] Freddie Roach let me do what I wanted to do, get to where I'm as fast as I can be."

Margarito, on the other hand is confident of his chances to score an upset.

Pacquiao remains unperturbed despite lighter weight

2010-11-13T14:42:00.000-08:00

Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao remains unperturbed despite the disparity in size with opponent Mexico’s Antonio Margarito during Friday's weigh-in proceedings. Pacquiao tipped the scales at 144.6 pounds, nearly 6 pounds lighter than Margarito, who came in at 150.

"I'm not worried, That's what we did for training — train hard. My weight came down from what it was to make me faster.” he said

Pacquiao’s camp is reportedly expecting him to weigh around 147-148 pounds.

His Canadian business manager, Michael Koncz, explained that the boxer got caught in "the excitement of the fight" and did not do his usual 4 or 5 meals a day.

Margarito, on the other hand, looked like he drained himself to make the 150-catch weight limit.

He’s expected to blow up to 160 to 165 pounds upon rehydration. And this could pose big problems for the smaller Pacquiao.

But like his ward, coach Freddie Roach did not appear disturbed about Pacquiao’s weight.

"I think we will overwhelm him with the punches (Manny) will land on him with the fast hands and combinations," Roach said .In 8 or 9 rounds I think we will break him down.”

He said Margarito will beat himself out because of his deficiencies as a fighter. He added that Pacquiao will take advantage of these weaknesses.

"Margarito throws a lot of punches and he makes too many mistakes to beat us. He has bad habits and we are going to take advantage of all of them," said Roach.

Pacquiao vs Margarito: Keys to the fight

2010-11-13T14:34:00.000-08:00

Who has the upper hand in terms of offense? How does one fighter adjust his defense against the other? What’s likely to happen when both boxers fight fire with fire?

Here’s a breakdown of how Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito fare in terms of offense, defense, boxing intelligence and will power based on the Queensberry Rule.com's analysis.

Offense
Pacquiao has vastly improved his punching arsenal. He started with a simple 1-2 combination, added the double jab-straight left, then came the right hook and the improved body attack. He throws all of these in rapid fire motion and blinding speed. He used these improvements against Oscar de la Hoya and Miguel Cotto. The minus in Pacquiao's offense is his is jab, which is not much of a weapon. He also sometimes throws wide punches.

Margarito, on the other hand, is a giant fighter with an inside fighter's game. He is known for his body attack and uppercuts as evident in his victories over Kermit Cintron and Golden Johnson. He also punches wide but in a slower fashion. He reportedly worked on shortening the distance between “throw and land.”

Defense
Pacquiao used to be bad on defense but Freddie Roach worked and improved on this. He now puts his hands up, do lateral movements and darts in-and-out of his opponent's reach.

Margarito doesn't move his head, based on his past fights, especially when he lost Shane Mosley. He squares up and doesn't block his opponent's punches. Hopefully, his defense improves with trainer Robert Garcia overseeing his training.

Intelligence
Through years under Roach's guidance, Pacquiao has learned to absorb a fight strategy depending on his opponent's style. He showed this against Joshua Clottey whom he beat with volume punching; against Oscar de la Hoya, he fought from the outside. Pacquiao, however, still has to show that he can adjust his style within a fight.

Margarito usually punches and punches until his punches do their tricks. But now he has Garcia, who studied Pacquiao's flaws. It now depends on Margarito if he could adjust his fighting style to take advantage of Pacquiao's weaknesses.

Willpower
Both fighters are known to have big hearts, they fight fearlessly up to a fault. Pacquiao showed this when he tested Miguel Cotto's power by staying at the ropes.

Margarito, on the other hand, fought on the latter rounds despite being outpunched in his decision loss to Paul Williams.

Both fighters are pretty even in this department.

Margarito, Pacquiao is His Ticket to Redemption

2010-09-15T07:57:00.000-07:00

Pacquiao vs Margarito

Pacquiao vs Margarito are scheduled to clash on Nov. 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, a fight that should earn the Philippine congressman at least $15 million. Margarito is coming off a one-year ban from boxing after being caught with illegal substances in his hand wraps during a fight with Shane Mosley 19 months ago. His fight against the Filipino ring icon is the biggest in his comeback trail. With the World Boxing Council super welterweight title at stake, Pacquiao also has a shot at an eighth weight division crown. He already has etched his name in history books after becoming the first boxer to win titles in seven weight classes after claiming the World Boxing Organization welterweight title of Miguel Cotto last year. For Margarito, Pacquiao is his ticket to redemption after being vilified and sanctioned for the illegal hand wraps. “I’ve been asking for this fight for a long time,” Margarito said. “I’m very happy and motivated that it’s here. I want to thank Manny for taking this fight. Everything that has happened is in the past, we’re now in the present. It’s time to show everyone that I’m still very good and nobody will want to miss this fight. It’ll be a great fight and now is the present; forget the past.”

Margarito has denied knowledge that illegal substances were being put in his hand wraps, causing them to harden and adding a lot of zing to his punches. But in an interview with the Inquirer just before leaving the Philippines, Pacquiao said he was certain Margarito knowingly cheated with the hand wraps. “It’s his hands and he watches the taping,” Pacquiao said, adding that Margarito is feigning ignorance because he is “looking for a way out so his reputation won’t be damaged among his fans.” However, Pacquiao noted that Margarito had “paid his dues by sacrificing and not fighting for one year. Margarito was granted a license last week to fight in Texas. He hasn’t fought in America since the Los Angeles Mosley incident after his license—along with that of former trainer Javier Capetillo—was revoked by the California State Athletic Commission for the hand wraps controversy. The ban was upheld by other state boxing commissions. Team Pacquiao, though, isn’t taking any chances, pointing out that “we can watch his hands being wrapped because our agreement is we will have two representatives led by my coach (Freddie Roach) to watch the taping.” Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs) has asked officials to allow them to send an extra person from his camp into Margarito’s dressing room prior to the Dallas fight to observe the taping.

“I am requesting that two people be allowed to watch them bandage his hands,” the 31-year-old Pacquiao said. Margarito’s trainer, Robert Garcia, said he had nothing to hide. He said Pacquiao may visit Margarito’s dressing room before the fight. He would also let Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach do the wrapping. “Manny can come watch himself if he needs to,” Garcia said. “I do not have a problem with that. I could have Freddie Roach do the wrapping. I don’t do anything illegal. Pacquiao was all smiles and joking with Margarito during a photo-op on the podium at Beverly Hills Hotel but then told reporters afterward that he didn’t believe Margarito’s version of the events at Staples Center arena 19 months ago.

Pacquiao vs Margarito

Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao said that he doesn't want to train inside the premises of the Congress. Pacquiao, who is set to face Mexico’s Antonio Margarito on November 13, said he will open his training camp somewhere near the House of Representatives so he can still work during his free hours from training. Pacquiao said during an interview that the gym that he will be going to is near the Batasan Complex… so it will be easy for him to go to Batasan after training. He also added he can’t train inside the complex because there's no boxing equipment there. The 7-division champion said they will keep their camp secret to allow him to focus on training. Pacquiao also said he will not reveal where he will train because his coach, Freddie Roach, doesn’t want too many people inside the training camp. Pacquiao said he understands Belmonte’s reasons for dissuading him from using the Batasan Pambansa compound as training ground. "No problem. Like what I said, it's only time management. I will sleep here in the office so I can jog before a House session. The compound is spacious, anyway" Pacquiao said. Pacquiao, the only fighter to have 7 championship belts in as many weight classes, said part of his conditioning would encompass a 3-hour training session that includes jogging. Pacquiao will fight Margarito for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) junior middleweight belt. Talks for Pacquiao to fight undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. earlier fell through. Mayweather had accused Pacquiao of using performance-enhancing drugs, and publicly dared him to undergo blood tests if a showdown between them were to come about. The Filipino champ agreed in May, but Mayweather failed to meet a July deadline to agree to terms of what could be the most lucrative fight in boxing history. So, hopefully the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight will pursue because this will be also a great boxing match this year.

Pacquiao vs Marquez better than Pacquiao vs Margarito?

Pacquiao vs Margarito

How many years that Juan Manuel Marquez calls out Manny Pacquiao for another rematch of their last 2008 fight were Pacquiao won by split decision while Marquez believes he won that match? Some boxing analysts say and even boxing fans says that Juan Manuel Marquez deserves a third fight with Manny Pacquiao. Several boxing scribes expressed their desire to see a Marquez-Pacquiao clash part three this year but instead Pacquiao will going to face another Mexican Antonio Margarito whom other thinks doesn’t deserve to fight Pacquiao. Pacquiao said he never runs away from a fight, but thinks he has nothing more to prove against Marquez, the last person who came very close to beating the 31-year-old champion in the ring. After Marquez beat Juan Diaz last July 31 then called on Manny Pacquiao for another fight, Juan Manuel Marquez is now being touted as a much better foe for the 7-division world champion than Antonio Margarito. Other says that Pacquiao vs Margarito would not be as exciting a fight as a three-peat with Marquez would be. Marquez has the perfect style and the smarts in the ring to give Pacquiao a great challenge. Some critics said about Margarito that he does not deserve to face the world’s only 7-division champion. The California State Athletic Commission suspended Margarito last year after he was caught with a plaster-like substance in his hand wraps before his bout against Shane Mosley in January 2009. But not until Pacquiao signs the Antonio Margarito contract, Marquez will keep on calling his name, hoping for a third fight, and a payday like no other. And even Freddie Roach is open to a third fight with Marquez because it would give Pacquiao a chance “to silence him for good. Will let’s hope, wait and see if this fight will happen again because Marquez really wants Pacquiao for the third time. And if the boxing fans really want to see this happen I think Pacquiao will also open to this idea of having a trilogy with Marquez.

Pacquiao vs Margarito

The November 13 bout between Pacquiao vs Margarito is still on-going there is still no official venue for the said fight. But there are several venues already considered to hold the fight there are three from United States like, Nevada and Texas. But this three venue is still depends on Margarito if he can get his license. If Margarito doesn’t get a license from the US then the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight might happen in Monterrey in Mexico or in Abu Dhabi. According to some news site online that the adviser of seven division champion and current WBO welterweight champ Manny Pacquiao, Mr. Michael Koncz, are now in Abu Dhabi and it will stay in Abu Dhabi until Saturday in an attempt to work out what Mr. Koncz called a "multi-million dollar deal" for the United Arab Emirates to play host to Pacquiao vs Margarito Nov. 13, for the vacant World Boxing Council super welterweight crown. Arum said that he had not heard from Koncz since his arrival in Abu Dhabi on last Monday, but has since spoken to Koncz, who updated him on the negotiations' status. According to Arum he is still talking to them, and he was supposed to leave today, but then they've asked him to stay another couple of days. What that means, I don't know. That's the whole thing. He's not optimistic, and he's not pessimistic. He's staying until Saturday morning, and then he's leaving. Koncz told Arum that he’s trying to put a multi-million dollar deal for the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight. The Royal Family members and the Abu Dhabi Sports authority that he’s dealing with are not hungry for publicity at the present time. When an agreement is reached to hold a Pacquiao vs Margarito bout on Nov. 13, then a press conference release will be issued. If the fight deal is completed, the publicity will come.

Margarito Might Fall Pacquiao in Later Rounds?

Pacquiao vs Margarito

The upcoming fight of Pacquiao vs Margarito this coming November 13, 2010 is spreading like a wild fire recently. Many boxing analysts give their predictions about the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight. And who do you think has the advantage between these two fighters? Manny Pacquiao has speed, quickness, aggressiveness, and power while Antonio Margarito is tall, strong, and aggressive and has power also. Some might say Pacquiao will win this fight and some say that Margarito has an edge because his tall and strong. Will its all depend what will happen to the fight on November 13. We can give predictions but still the fighters will still direct the play on how they will perform their fight. Robert Garcia trainer of Antonio Margarito believes that Margarito has all the tools to stop Manny Pacquiao in the later rounds when they clash for the vacant World Boxing Council super welterweight crown on Nov. 13. He said that Antonio will have the heart and the power and the conditioning to be a great champion, and to beat anybody out there. But I think that he can get Pacquiao in the later rounds. So he’s going to say that Margarito will stop him in the later rounds. Roberto Garcia is a former International Boxing Federation super featherweight champion who also trains Filipino star Nonito Donaire Jr., said Margarito will begin his 10-week preparation in the first week of September. Garcia said he’s been watching tapes of Pacquiao’s fights and is familiar with Freddie Roach’s training style. He said he has a good idea what strategy Pacquiao will use against Margarito. Though the super welterweight limit is 154 pounds, Garcia doesn’t mind if his fighter battled Pacquiao at a catch weight of 150. All Margarito need is to get his license back before he can fight Pacquiao. But the Top Rank head Bob Arum said if Margarito doesn’t get clearance to fight in Las Vegas or Texas, the Pacquiao fight may be held in Monterrey, Mexico, with Abu Dhabi another option. Margarito’s license to fight in the United States was suspended for one year after he was found guilty of using hardened hand wraps on Jan. 24, 2009, when he yielded his WBA welterweight title to Shane Mosley. On the Camp of Pacquiao the Unbeaten Mexican WBC silver middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is receptive to the invitation offered him by Roach to be Pacquiao’s main sparring partner for the Margarito bout. The WBC middleweight champ is very delightful of the offer and he said that he will take the offer to make a sparring partner of Pacquiao because it will be a big experience for him fighting the pound-for-pound king.

Pacquiao Prefer Mexico Venue

Pacquiao vs Margarito

There’s no deal yet on where the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight will be held but according to some sources that Pacquiao prefer the Monterrey in Mexico for they’re November 13 match against a Mexican Antonio Margarito. The Fighter of the Decade added that he is willing to the possibility that he might slug it out with Margarito in Mexico, should the Mexican fail to secure a boxing license in Nevada. Pacquiao also said that he agree to a catchweight of 150 lb, no heavier than that, when he faces Antonio Margarito. In fact Antonio Margarito has agreed to meet Manny Pacquiao at the catchweight of 150 lbs, or 4 lbs below the 154 limit. Manny Pacquiao said in an interview “I like Mexico. It’s nice in Mexico. Let’s try Mexico,” when asked where he’d like to face the former welterweight champion. Pacquiao said he hasn’t signed the fight contract yet, but will soon go through it. But the reigning pound-for-pound champion said the fight for the vacant WBC super-welterweight title is bound to happen. Most likely, it’s Margarito,” said Pacquiao after negotiations for a super fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. bogged down. He said the fight with Mayweather, where the fighters could have easily earned $40 million each, did not happen because the undefeated American doesn’t want it to happen. “They never run out of reasons saying why it won’t happen. But the truth is they don’t want the fight. Sila ang may ayaw,” said Pacquiao. If the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight will happen in Mexico then thousands of Mexican supporters will be against him that will be a great advantage for Margarito. Pacquiao has no problem if he faced Margarito in his hometown Mexico. Actually he’s excited to fight in Mexico; it will be he’s first time to fight there.

Abu Dhabi Venue for Pacquiao vs Margarito Fight

Pacquiao vs Margarito

There’s still no fix venue for the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight that will happen this November 13, 2010. Bob Arum is still looking for good location they go to different places to check out the site and discuss the proposal to stage a fight between pound-for-pound king and “Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito for the vacant WBC light middleweight title. And according to some news sites the representatives of the Royal Family of the United Arab Emirates called Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz and told him that they are very optimistic that the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight will take place in Abu Dhabi. Pacquiao’s adviser stressed that an Abu Dhabi deal was “a no lose situation and is good for everybody” including Pacquiao and Arum said by Koncz, “they will take the whole package. We have no risks, no liability and we can get Manny probably the biggest guaranteed purse he ever got right off the bat.” Arum had also indicated that since Pacquiao would earn outside the US it wouldn't be subject to taxes that are regularly levied on his fight income in America. And aside from the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight which will happen in November 13 there was another big occasion that will happen in Abu Dhabi that the Formula I Grand Prix will race off in Abu Dhabi on November 14, a day after the planned WBC world title fight between Pacquiao and Margarito. Koncz said “this may well be a benefit to them because they will have the Grand Prix crowd who will go to the fight. They could do it back-to-back and that could turn into a goldmine for them.” But like I said this is still on consideration on the part of the promoter because another place that they’re looking for is Monterrey in Mexico. But if Margarito get his license back the three states in the US are ready to take the venue.

Tentative Venue for Pacquiao vs Margarito fight

Pacquiao vs Margarito

There is still no location for the November fight between Pacquiao vs Margarito. But the promoter of Top Rank Bob Arum said that they have some venues that they already look up for. Three states in the US can host a Pacquiao vs Margarito fight because of friendlier taxes, and they’re Nevada, Florida and the new favorite, Texas. The other venues are Abu Dhabi in U.A.E and Monterrey in Mexico. However the three states in the US is still depends on Antonio Margarito if he get his license due to suspension last year by the California State Athletic Commission after he was caught with a plaster-like substance in his hand wraps prior to his fight against Shane Mosley in January 2009. This effectively banned Margarito from boxing in the United States, pending investigation. Margarito claimed he didn’t know about the tampering of the wraps. Margarito is hesitant to re-apply in the California commission because of his lawsuit against them. Arum noted that if Margarito drops this lawsuit, there’s a high chance that Margarito will be granted a license to fight again. Pacquiao vs Margarito will fight for the vacant WBC light middleweight title and if ever will Pacquiao win over Margarito he will be the first boxer who get 8 world titles in 8 divisions. The pound-for-pound king talked briefly about his fight with the 32-year-old Mexican, who at 5’11” is easily four inches taller. “He’s good. He knocked out Miguel Cotto. And he’s as tall as Oscar dela Hoya,” said the only fighter in history to win seven world titles in seven weight classes. The Pacquiao vs Margarito bout will happen this November 13, 2010 after Floyd Mayweather failed to negotiate for a match against Pacquiao. According to Roach their training will start in Manila so he could also perform his duties with Congress, and according to early plans he would move to Los Angeles three weeks before the fight. Pacquiao said despite his bigger role as a congressman, he will not take Margarito lightly. He will train for eight weeks. He said that Margarito is good and he must not underertimate his power. Starting next week, he will start running in the morning. It seems that Pacquiao realize the he will face another tough fighter like Antonio Margarito.

Margarito Agreed to Fight Pacquiao at 150

2010-07-29T23:11:00.000-07:00

Pacquiao vs Margarito

When Pacquiao vs Margarito rub each other gloves on November 13 this will be an epic match. But the before the fight happen both fighters should agree some terms that’s why negotiations is still on-going. And I read on some news sites that Antonio Margarito has agreed to meet Manny Pacquiao at the catch weight of 150 lbs, or 4 lbs below the 154 limit. Margarito did not hesitate to agree on the 150 lbs catch weight according to the reports. Margarito faces difficulty making 147 but there is an understanding about the three extra pounds between the parties. Pacquiao is also willing to fight Margarito from 147 up to 150 pounds around that weight despite the Mexican champ’s height advantage. Pacquiao said that he has no problem about climbing weight to face the Mexican. What I think also is Margarito agreed the catch weight of 150 because this is the fight he really wants to happen with, and he really wants to fight Pacquiao. And also, it is also good money for him; this will be his biggest payout in his career. Another advantage is having two fighters under one promoter Top Rank. There are many ingredients in the fight mix that create a mega fight, and the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight features a number of elements that should make this one a classic. There is enough of a difference in styles to make this something special. Who knows how this fight would have played out 4 years ago, but right now both fighters still possess superior speed and boxing technique, Pacquiao has speed, footwork, punching power, and aggressive boxer puncher who will come forward, and Margarito is big, strong, good punching power, tough and determined. They must be on a collision course to fight as the hype, pressure and expectation for the two to meet up is building up, that the money involved would be good also to ignore. Boxing fans are now excited to watch Pacquiao vs Margarito this November. Stay tuned!

Pacquiao vs Margarito Match Will Be Exciting

2010-07-27T18:18:00.000-07:00

Pacquiao vs Margarito

Instead of having a rematch with Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto for his middleweight title, Manny Pacquiao chooses Mexican Antonio Margarito for November 13 bout. Pacquiao said “That’s good!” when asked about his possible clash with the former World Boxing Association (WBA), International Boxing Federation (IBF) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Margarito. Pacquiao also told a reporter from the Philippines that he is willing to fight Margarito around 147-150 pounds. In fact Antonio Margarito has agreed to meet Manny Pacquiao at the catch weight of 150 lbs, or 4 lbs below the 154 limit. This is the advantage of having two fighters under one promoter. Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito will face each other for the vacant WBC light middleweight title. While his November 13 bout has not yet been finalized, Pacquiao is certain that he will train in Manila and will go to Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, California 3 weeks before the fight. For the meantime Margarito’s camp are trying to get his new licensed to fight again in the US. Margarito was suspended when he was caught using, without his knowledge as he claims, illegal hand wraps, leading to the suspension of his fight license in the United States prior to his bout against Shane Mosley on January 2009.

Even the four-time Trainer of the Year recipient also downplayed the Mexican’s ability to fire a good punch. Freddie Roach said that Margarito has a good chin, but a good punch? He doesn't know. He added, “Let him wrap his own hands, and he’s got a good punch (laughs).” Pacquiao earlier said he is very much willing to face Margarito, despite the Mexican champ’s height advantage. Margarito is a big welterweight with a chin like a fire hydrant. It would be a serious challenge for Pacquiao, much more difficult of a fight than the DeLa Hoya fight. I would think Margarito would be the heavy favorite, but then again I thought DeLa Hoya would pose problems for Manny, and I was dead wrong. Pacquiao destroy DeLa Hoya with an ease that was terrifying. I think Manny Pacquiao is ready for a real welterweight, but I think it had better be someone other than Margarito. As for Pacquiao, I think that Pacquiao would take early rounds with his speed and proven ability to get inside bigger men with footwork and head movement. Margarito, who stands 5-foot-11, enjoys a 6-inch reach advantage over the 5-foot-6 Filipino boxer. I haven't seen Margarito actual fights but If he's that good then I don't think Pacquiao will back down a fight against a bigger and taller Margarito. Pacquiao is the kind of fighter who likes to fight stronger opponents. The one thing you know for sure with Pacquiao vs Margarito fight is that it will be a hell of a fight for however long it lasts.

Pacquiao vs Margarito on November 13

2010-07-27T18:06:00.000-07:00

Pacquiao vs Margarito

The unexpected fight happens but the expected fight never happen. That is why my colleagues told me “expect the unexpected”. When Top Rank promoter Bob Arum confirmed the Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao will face Mexico’s Antonio Margarito on November 13. Over the last year or so the interest that has surrounded this possible bout has been unseen in the boxing world for a long time; we all want to know how Lost will end, but absolutely everyone wants to know who will come out on top in this battle. I've spent the last few days studying both fighters, from Pacquiao's fights with Cotto and Clottey, the suspension of license of Margarito caught using illegal hand wraps, to Floyd's unanimous decision over Mosley and a dramatic win of Cotto against Foreman. I’ve picked apart their styles and finally managed to conclude my thoughts on this fight. Not everyone will agree with my thoughts, but that is boxing and that is what makes this fight so interesting. Arum said that Manny Pacquiao picked Margarito over Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto, whom Pacquiao pummeled in the 12th round last November, because it would be a more challenging fight than fighting Miguel Cotto in a rematch and they see it not marketable anymore. Pacquiao will face Margarito for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) junior middleweight championship in Las Vegas if the Mexican is able to get a license to fight in Nevada. And if Pacquiao beat Margarito, he will become the 1st boxer to win 8 world titles in 8 divisions. As we all know, the contrast in style between the two fighters is huge, with Manny being a gung-ho offensive master and Margarito is big, strong chin, aggressive style, good punching power, good offensive skills, tough and determined. This clash of styles is what's making this possible bout so interesting and hard to predict. Both fighters have their flaws and both fighters have had trouble against similar fighters to each other. I'm going to stick my neck out and say how I think this fight is going to pan out, some of you may already know who I'm backing for this fight but I think it's important that everyone backs up their predictions with thoughts and reasoning. I'm not going to pick a winner, or a result, who knows how things will turn out in the ring on November 13, 2010, but all the ingredients are there for this Pacquiao vs Margarito mega-fight, now its all up to the two men, Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito when they step into the ring to give us something we've seen in the past and bring it back to the present. Anyways, this scheduled bout will be aired on HBO PPV.
