MANILA, Philippines ? The trainer of Antonio Margarito is confident that his Mexican ward will go the distance against Manny Pacquiao when they face off for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight title in November.
?Manny has proven he?s best in the world pound-for-pound,? Garcia told Yahoo! Sports reporter Kevin Iole.
?I know that. You have to give him credit for what he?s accomplished, because he?s done so much. But he?s going against a fighter who is so much bigger and who is going to be on him every single second for all 12 rounds,? he stated.
Pacquiao and Margarito will fight in the $1.2-billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on November 13 (November 14 in Manila).
?A guy who is that much bigger is going to be on him the entire night. Manny has fast, powerful combinations, but once Margarito takes those and keeps coming, it?s going to be a long night for Manny,? said Garcia.
