By Chris Williams: I’m really hoping Manny Pacquiao gets knocked out tonight by Antonio Margarito. I don’t want Margarito to merely pound on Pacquiao for 12 rounds, because I honestly don’t think Margarito can win a decision over the Filipino fighter unless Margarito knocked Pacquiao down at least 4 times in the fight in separate [...]

By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach sees a Manny Pacquiao victory over Antonio Margarito as putting both he and Pacquiao in the record books for all time if Pacquiao wins an 8th world title in as many divisions.

By Dan Ambrose: Although trainer Freddie Roach would like for his fighter Manny Pacquiao to box more with Antonio Margarito tomorrow night in their fight at the Cowboys Stadium, Roach thinks Pacquiao will seek to exchange with the big 5’11″ Mexican Tornado. “He could box more and be a little smarter,” Roach said in an [...]

By Nick Ryan: Most would think by this title that I am referring to Pacquiao as David and Margarito as Goliath, but it is, in fact, the exact opposite. In this fight, we have the champion Manny Pacquiao, who has been tearing through weight divisions and leaving only a bloody trail of past boxers broken [...]

By Aron Hutchison: Just one more day now until Antonio Margarito finally faces off with congressman Manny Pacquiao. All I’ve been hearing about for months now is how horribly Manny’s training camp is going, skipping training, getting beat up in sparring, trying to be a congressman. It is obvious to me that Manny is not [...]

By Eric Thomas: According to Sportsillustrated.cnn.com, trainer Freddie Roach believes that Manny Pacquiao should consider retirement after the Antonio Margarito bout on Saturday due to a lack of interesting opponents for Pacquiao.

By Daniel Tagg: If Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KO’s) wins on Saturday night in good fashion against Antonio Margarito then what will Pacquiao do next? It’s believed that he will have three more fights at welterweight and/or light welterweight, but I think that he could go another way. If Manny wins on Saturday night in [...]

By Will Cruz: Read columns stating that Antonio Margarito is the bigger fighter Manny Pacquiao. This statement is not totally correct. There is a false impression that if the other person is vertically taller that he is bigger. When both fighters fight at the same weight, not one would be bigger than the other. The [...]

By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao will be facing Antonio Margarito for the WBC junior middleweight paper title on Saturday night. Why this fight needs a title, I have no idea. Apparently, Pacquiao wants to collect another title for some reason, as if it registers with boxing fans. I don’t know that too many of them [...]

By Bruce Smith: Antonio Margarito is fighting for the pride of his people against the man they call The Mexicutioner, Manny Pacquiao. He doesn’t have the speed or the versatility to compete with Pacquiao and will probably get a thorough beat down as if he were a pinata on Saturday. Margarito has been working his [...]

By Jason Kim: Antonio Margarito doesn’t intend on going out and being another one of Manny Pacquiao’s punching dummies when he steps into the ring with the Filipino star this Saturday night at the Cowboys Stadium.

By Ryan Dunn: The soap opera is in full swing as the boys from Oxnard lock horns with the Hollywood kids. As Team Margarito and Team Pacquiao turn up the heat on what is said to be a potential fight of the year showdown, I wanted to throw some levity into the fire and take [...]

By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach has got to be the most vocal trainer that ever existed in his backing of his fighter Manny Pacquiao. Roach has been talking 24/7 about the upcoming fight between Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito for months, and seems to have gone past the normal role for a trainer into the [...]

By Dan Ambrose: Manny Pacquiao openly admitted in a recent meeting with reporters that the 150 pound catch-weight will be benefiting him and not his opponent Antonio Margarito on November 13th. When asked who the catch-weight will benefit, Pacquiao said “The catch-weight will benefit me.” He then explained why, saying “He will have to come [...]

By Chris Williams: Antonio Margarito takes on Manny Pacquiao this Saturday night for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. Roach says he’s not worried about the power and doesn’t think he’s a good fighter. It makes you wonder why Roach even blessed this fight when he clearly doesn’t [...]

Arlington, TX (November 11, 2010) — Two days before PACQUIAO vs. MARGARITO face off at Cowboys Stadium on Saturday, November 13, predictions have come in from world champion boxers, trainers of world champions and journalists from around the country.

By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach apparently has buried the hatchet and has accepted the apology given to him by Antonio Margarito, who earlier in the week made fun of Roach by mimicking him in shaking his hands in what appeared to some an attempt to tease Roach about his Parkinson’s disease condition. Margarito later [...]

November 11, 2010 – Mexico City – From the office of WBC President Dr. José Sulaimán: WBC STATISTICS WBC Super Welterweight World Championship (vacant title) Cowboys Stadium – Arlington, Texas

By By Michael Brady: This Saturday a battle for the heavyweight championship of the world will take place, coined by some as the London Championships, an event now laughable when compared to what could have been, and for now has passed. Others wait; stewing impatiently in anticipation of what could be, no matter how incongruous [...]

By Dave Lahr: If you’ve been paying any attention to the constant yapping by trainer Freddie Roach, you’ll notice that Roach is talking a lot more now than he ever has before one of Manny Pacquiao’s fights and he’s got a lot more animated tone than he’s had in the past. In my estimation, Roach [...]

By Jason Kim: The last thing that Top Rank promoter Bob Arum wants is for his top fighter Manny Pacquiao to get beaten by one of his stable fighters Antonio Margarito this Saturday night when they meet up at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. Margarito was one of the top welterweights in the division [...]

By Keith Darren: Manny Pacquiao’s PPV buys is one of the highest (Floyd has the record) and in his incoming fight against Margarito on November 13, naysayers are predicting low PPVs because many say it is not the fight they wanted. Of course people are longing to see Manny fight Floyd and determine who is [...]
