Margarito should be afraid very afraid

What’s the definition of afraid? – 1. scared, fearful, disquieted, apprehensive, timid, timorous. Afraid, alarmed, frightened, terrified all indicate a state of fear. Recently Antonio Margarito went on the record and said that he’s not worried about Manny Pacquiao at all. He said that’s he is not worried, and he’s more focused on knocking Manny out. Oh really? Well that’s all well and good, but what he is focused on and what’s going to happen are two entirely different scenarios.

Pacquiao is currently in the Philippines training like a beast and according to my sources, he means business. Pacquiao has been the recipient of racial attacks, accused of taking steroids, and has been dragged through the mud by team Mayweather for months now. He’s not in a good mood about all of that, so if I were Antonio Margarito I would keep that in mind. Pacquiao is not the type of guy that stoops down to a lower level. Manny handles his business in the ring with his two fists. He’s proved this time and time again, and this November 13th, it will more than likely be no different.

Margarito is going to have a plate full come November 13th, and he’s not going to know what to do with it. He actually won’t have much choice once the bell rings. I can almost guarantee that Tony’s face will be swollen and bloodied by the 5th or 6th round because he does not move his head fast enough, and he stands in front of his opponents. Standing in front of Manny Pacquiao is like standing in front of a shotgun with birdshot loaded in it. Margarito will be peppered with nasty punches from multiple angles.
