Seven-time world champion and WBO welterweight (147 pounds) king Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 knockouts) is in training in Baquio City, Philippines for his HBO pay per view televised Nov. 13 clash with ex-titlist Antonio Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs) for the vacant WBC junior middleweight (154 pounds) title at The Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
As he pursues his eighth crown in as many weight classes as well as his 13th straight victory and his ninth knockout during that run, the 31-year-old Pacquiao, who is promoted by Top Rank Promotions, said that being a newly inducted congressman will not distract him from his goals.
