Another day at the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy to some, but this day something different was in the air or on the wall. A message to Manny Pacquiao from team Margarito, “Just Say No To Steroids”. Another swift jab to Pacquiao camp just before they head out to Texas. This could just put Manny in a position where his pride will make him fight the type of fight Margarito would prefer. Margarito is full of confidence right now because of the team he is surrounded with, ” My training here has been good for me, Robert has me feeling like moving here. That’s how much love they have shown me.” says Margarito”
With the fight growing closer and the Pacquiao camp in dire straits, Margarito has to be growing more confident with every passing day. ” Freddie Roach and Pacquiao are afraid of me I know it.” They know what kind of shape I’m in, that’s why they are afraid.” Antonio Margarito also wanted the world to know he didn’t start this trash talking with Team Pacquiao, they did. ” I wasn’t going to mention the steroid issue at all, until they started talking about the hand wraps.” Steroids are a word Manny Pacquiao will hear until he takes the random blood and urine tests.
Maybe all this talk, has made Manny Pacquiao a little self-conscious about the Alex Ariza full workout program. Whatever that means, Manny is using his acute sense of self awareness to change the program, and not gain the necessary weight needed to make sure he doesn’t deteriorate during the fight. Mannys goal is to maintain his speed, not power. Manny is hoping to compensate power for timing and technique, for a fighter that will be standing right in front of him.
Robert Garcia who has never lost to Freddie Roach, Steven Luevano and Antonio Margarito won over Roach trained fighters Bernabe Conception and Roberto Garcia had this to say “We are ready for Nov.13th, we just want our credit for the victory, because our lives are going to change, I know it.”
