Antonio Margarito Must Come Clean for Manny Pacquiao; Just Call Him ‘Mr. Clean’!

“Beyond a reasonable doubt” is the standard of proof required in most criminal cases within an adversarial

system, which Antonio Margarito has successfully nullified in view of his declared innocence and insufficiency of circumstancial evidence and less convincing pressing first-hand testimony against him.

So, the judgment has rendered to his favor. For externalist view, he has escaped judgment. And for others, the judgment is yet to come. But, Margarito must come clean for Manny Pacquiao.There’s a tremendous pressure on Margarito from the hardcore boxing fans of the Aztec community.

“Orali cabr?n, find a way to knock out that fool,” says one supporter to Margarito during the pictorial session after the press conference for the said two fighters at the Beverly Hills Hotel last August 31.

“Ah huevo!”, a common rhetoric of “just doing the job despite being forced to do so”, will have a compelling appeal for Margarito to make November 13, 2010 a historic day marking the biggest upset of the 21st century.

Of course, Margarito may not need “Mestinon’ to quicken his reflex and to increase his muscle tone, nor does he need a series of Procit dosages to pump up more transport of oxygen on his red blood cells – all to impose a super-sonic power and considerable speed over Pacquiao in that magnificient arena of the Dallas Cowboy Stadium.

As the world is anxious to see the might of boxing again to entertain, Mexico is getting ready for an extraordinary celebration in honor of its 200th anniversary of its Independence and 100th anniversary of its Revolution. Everything designed to commemorate these two great dates is linked to the ideal of renewing Mexico’s identity and historic continuity. And Pacquiao versus Margarito will also be featured as one of the biggest event of the century.

Will November 13, 2010 become a day of infamy for Margarito and Mexico?

Will the Mexican honchos help “reengineer” Margarito’s speed and power, if not agility, to prompt for the biggest upset in the history of boxing?
