Don't believe the hype that some idiots on this site are telling you. Margarito has NO chance of beating Pacquaio..I was going to write why, until I found an article which makes all the points I was going to make..This will be a mirror image of Pacquaio v De La Hoya with Pacman boxing the ears off Margarito. You will never see so many fresh air punches from a fighter as you will see from Margarcheato that night. Pacman wins EASY here. Let's hope idiots like Jerseyboy disappear after their lack of boxing knowledge is severely exposed next week. Coming up with the correct bet is not easy though with these odds. I think Pacman stops him but not by KO. Might play points Pacman and KO/Fight being stopped) between rounds 10-12..
"What a lot of hot air has enveloped Manny Pacquaio and Antonio Margarito ahead of their allegedly "light-middleweight" title fight in Texas on Saturday.
Some smart writers have totally bought into "stories" that Congressman Pacquiao is said to be too wrapped up in his political duties and trained poorly in the Philippines before going to the Wild Card in LA. Really? Now, of course, the fight is no longer the one-sided smashing of a seasoned pro (six defeats in 45 fights, remember) but an even-money affair, so roll up, roll up.
Pause for a minute: 32-year-old Margarito is a legitimate opponent; he did, after all, do a number on Miguel Cotto (although who knows how legal his gloves were that night). He also had to hold off an ambitious Roberto García over 10 rounds in May.
But he has lost to the following: way back in 1994 to Tijuana tumbler Victor Lozoya, who was coming off a kayo loss and went on to lose to nine other no-names; Larry Dixon (ditto), who lost three more and quit boxing in 1998; Rodney Jones, a decent fighter whose last fight was three years ago, losing to Cory Spinks over 12 rounds for the IBF light-middle title; Daniel Santos (on cuts); Paul Williams three years ago at welterweight; and, most significantly, to Shane Mosley in his last real test.
In January 2009 – that's 22 months ago – Mosley demolished Margarito with the last dregs of his once phenomenal hand speed and movement – and nobody moves more quickly or quirkily than the Pacman.
But the seers say he is distracted, off his game, complacent. Pacquiao has lived with chaos and hardship since he was an urchin on the streets of General Santos City, juggling boxing with survival. He has an entourage bigger than the president. He lets some of them sleep at the foot of his bed. And he fits all of that in around the toughest training regime in boxing. A couple of blisters from wearing dress shoes to fancy functions in Manila a few weeks ago are not going to worry him in a mere fist fight.
What still worries Pacman's coach, Freddie Roach, apparently, is the prospect of Margarito sneaking some help into his gloves. "You have fucking rocks in your hand, you know it," he told BoxingScene.com. "Against Santos and Williams and so forth, he doesn't look like he's that big a puncher. Against [Kermit] Cintron [whom he cut in half with a vicious body shot] and Cotto, something was different."
So, presuming it's clean, Pacquiao should do a number on Margarito – who I still don't think should be anywhere near a boxing ring after being caught with loaded gloves moments before the Mosley fight, and then was banned for only a year.
Similarly, though, it is a liberty that Pacquiao should be allowed to make this fight at three pounds inside the light-middleweight limit of 154lbs. After the weigh-in, Margarito will add at least half a stone; I doubt it will do him much good. If Margarito wins, it will be the shock of the year – but at least the fight writers who fell for the hype will be able to say I told you so"
