The date of November 13th is fast approaching us. On that date, Manny Pacquiao will take on Antonio Margarito at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. If you go by Boxing promoter Bob Arum’s assessment of how Manny Pacquiao is doing in training, then it is probably a very good thing the fight isn’t taking place this coming Saturday.
Arum who promotes both Pacquiao and Margarito recently told Philboxing.com that: “The old Pacquiao would
have no
problem beating Antonio Margarito.”
Arum had time to watch Pacquiao’s training this past Saturday and did not seem impressed with what he saw. “When I watched Manny on Saturday, I didn?t see the kind of speed that he would need to beat Margarito.” Arum went on to add: “If the fight happened on Saturday, Margarito would win.”
Hopefully Pacquiao isn’t taking Margarito lightly, because the fighter they call the “Tijuana Tornado” is not the kind of guy anyone one should take lightly… even Pacquiao.
Although there is only weeks to go, trainer Freddie Roach still has time to get his fighter Pacquiao in top physical shape. If Pacquiao gives himself fully to Roach, then he should be more than fine come fight night.
Both Pacquiao and Margarito are great fighters to watch.
