BAGUIO CITY?If the remark of promoter Bob Arum holds water, then Mexican Antonio Margarito may be preparing a wrong fight plan the whole time.
Known for his astuteness in promoting marquee fights, Arum initially said he was told Margarito has been sparring some good number of rounds against four different fighters with similar left-hand stance in his training camp in Oxnard, California.
But when asked about his assessment of Pacquiao?s latest training, Arum gave a much gracious remark to his prized Filipino fighter that in some ways belittle the chances of the Mexican champion.
?That right hand, trust me, is the key to this fight. Everybody that fights Manny Pacquiao trains for him like he?s a traditional lefty. Yes, he is a lefty except that he hits with his right hand as well as his left hand,? said Arum.
Pacquiao, 31, did several rounds of punch mitts yesterday with trainer Freddie Roach obviously working to perfect that same right hand that smittened Arum.
