Trainer Freddie Roach is not concerned with Antonio Margarito’s advantage in size. He says Manny Pacquiao will weigh no more than 150-pounds on the day of his fight with Margarito for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title. Roach and Pacquiao have focused all of their efforts on speed and accuracy for the November 13 showdown at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The catch-weight is 151-pounds. Roach will monitor Pacquiao’s weight to ensure the Filipino fighter doesn’t put on too many pounds in the 24-hour period between the weigh-in and the day the fight.
?Again, he?s (Margarito) bigger but size don?t win fights. Skill does,? said Roach to The Philippine Star. ?That?s what we?re going to do ? weigh in and climb the ring at almost the same weight. Manny?s not going in there
