Pacquiao Vs Margarito: Verbal Spats Get Nasty Before The Big Day. The whole of the boxing world is looking forward to this Saturday the 13th when the world?s best boxer (arguably) takes on an opponent who is half a feet bigger than him. The WBC fixture in which Manny Picquiao is going to be dashing gloves with Antonio Margarito is yet to begin; but it is already a blockbuster.
However, if you had to pick a favorite, you would have to be a daredevil not to pick Manny. However, Antonio seemed to have other ways to display his prowess. A recent video showing him and his camp making a caricature of Freddie Roach?s Parkinson?s disease has spread on the internet like wild fire.
Of course, they made an attempt at an apology during the news conference featuring both camps in the lead up to the match. In the video that has been on display at a variety of online web casts, Margarito appears along with his trainer and a fellow fighter.
In the video they make a caricature of the Parkinson problem of Roach and act as if Roach would have wanted to box Antonio himself but wouldn?t be able to do so due to his age. Margarito and company are certainly aware of the Parkinson disease that Manny?s trainer has.
However, they seem unaware of the fact that Roach also has a huge reputation that he has earned by winning the award for being the best trainer for the last three years, one after the other. So, when the giggles are over and the two set the ring ablaze at the Cowboys Center vying for the junior middleweight championship of the WBC, Freddie Roach as a friend would have served him well rather than as an enemy.
