Roach Wants Chavez Jr. Sparring Partner of Pacquiao

The most awaited clash between Pacquiao vs Margarito will happen this November 13, 2010. Though there's no venue yet were the Pacquiao vs Margarito will happen. But Pacquiao's camp has already have a plan about the training of pound-for-pound king and current WBO welterweight champ Manny Pacquiao. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., the son of namesake and legendary Mexican boxer Cesar Sr., is likely to come to Manila and help “pound-for-pound king” Manny Pacquiao prepare against Antonio Margarito.

Top Rank’s Bob Arum said Chavez will join trainer Freddie Roach when the boxing coach flies to Manila to train Pacquiao for the November 13 fight. Freddie is also planning to take Chavez to train with Pacquiao,” Arum said. Chavez also agreed to be Pacquiao's sparring partner because it will added for his experience when training against Pacquiao. Chavez himself is preparing for the biggest fight of his career against erstwhile Pacquiao opponent Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico on December 4.

The 6-foot-1 Chavez, who holds the World Boxing Council (WBC) silver middleweight title, will help Pacquiao prepare against Margarito, who stands at 5-foot-11. Chavez, who has remained unbeaten in 43 fights, is the son of Mexican great and 6-time world champion Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr. Arum said that after training in Manila, Pacquiao will fly to the US a month before the fight and train at Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, California.

Chavez will be a great help as a sparring partner for Pacquiao to prepare against a big and another Mexican Margarito.

No Training in Congress

Pacquiao vs MargaritoSarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao said that he doesn't want to train inside the premises of the Congress. Pacquiao, who is set to face Mexico’s Antonio Margarito on November 13, said he will open his training camp somewhere near the House of Representatives so he can still work during his free hours from training. Pacquiao said during an interview that the gym that he will be going to is near the Batasan Complex… so it will be easy for him to go to Batasan after training. He also added he can’t train inside the complex because there's no boxing equipment there. The 7-division champion said they will keep their camp secret to allow him to focus on training. Pacquiao also said he will not reveal where he will train because his coach, Freddie Roach, doesn’t want too many people inside the training camp.

Pacquiao said he understands Belmonte’s reasons for dissuading him from using the Batasan Pambansa compound as training ground. "No problem. Like what I said, it's only time management. I will sleep here in the office so I can jog before a House session. The compound is spacious, anyway" Pacquiao said. Pacquiao, the only fighter to have 7 championship belts in as many weight classes, said part of his conditioning would encompass a 3-hour training session that includes jogging.

Pacquiao will fight Margarito for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) junior middleweight belt. Talks for Pacquiao to fight undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. earlier fell through. Mayweather had accused Pacquiao of using performance-enhancing drugs, and publicly dared him to undergo blood tests if a showdown between them were to come about.

The Filipino champ agreed in May, but Mayweather failed to meet a July deadline to agree to terms of what could be the most lucrative fight in boxing history. So, hopefully the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight will pursue because this will be also a great boxing match this year.

Margarito Might Fall Pacquiao in Later Rounds?

Pacquiao vs MargaritoThe upcoming fight of Pacquiao vs Margarito this coming November 13, 2010 is spreading like a wild fire recently. Many boxing analysts give their predictions about the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight. And who do you think has the advantage between these two fighters? Manny Pacquiao has speed, quickness, aggressiveness, and power while Antonio Margarito is tall, strong, and aggressive and has power also. Some might say Pacquiao will win this fight and some say that Margarito has an edge because his tall and strong. Will its all depend what will happen to the fight on November 13. We can give predictions but still the fighters will still direct the play on how they will perform their fight. Robert Garcia trainer of Antonio Margarito believes that Margarito has all the tools to stop Manny Pacquiao in the later rounds when they clash for the vacant World Boxing Council super welterweight crown on Nov. 13.

He said that Antonio will have the heart and the power and the conditioning to be a great champion, and to beat anybody out there. But I think that he can get Pacquiao in the later rounds. So he’s going to say that Margarito will stop him in the later rounds. Roberto Garcia is a former International Boxing Federation super featherweight champion who also trains Filipino star Nonito Donaire Jr., said Margarito will begin his 10-week preparation in the first week of September.

Garcia said he’s been watching tapes of Pacquiao’s fights and is familiar with Freddie Roach’s training style. He said he has a good idea what strategy Pacquiao will use against Margarito. Though the super welterweight limit is 154 pounds, Garcia doesn’t mind if his fighter battled Pacquiao at a catch weight of 150. All Margarito need is to get his license back before he can fight Pacquiao. But the Top Rank head Bob Arum said if Margarito doesn’t get clearance to fight in Las Vegas or Texas, the Pacquiao fight may be held in Monterrey, Mexico, with Abu Dhabi another option.

Margarito’s license to fight in the United States was suspended for one year after he was found guilty of using hardened hand wraps on Jan. 24, 2009, when he yielded his WBA welterweight title to Shane Mosley. On the Camp of Pacquiao the Unbeaten Mexican WBC silver middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is receptive to the invitation offered him by Roach to be Pacquiao’s main sparring partner for the Margarito bout.

The WBC middleweight champ is very delightful of the offer and he said that he will take the offer to make a sparring partner of Pacquiao because it will be a big experience for him fighting the pound-for-pound king.

Margarito Agreed to Fight Pacquiao at 150

Pacquiao vs MargaritoWhen Pacquiao vs Margarito rub each other gloves on November 13 this will be an epic match. But the before the fight happen both fighters should agree some terms that’s why negotiations is still on-going. And I read on some news sites that Antonio Margarito has agreed to meet Manny Pacquiao at the catch weight of 150 lbs, or 4 lbs below the 154 limit. Margarito did not hesitate to agree on the 150 lbs catch weight according to the reports. Margarito faces difficulty making 147 but there is an understanding about the three extra pounds between the parties. Pacquiao is also willing to fight Margarito from 147 up to 150 pounds around that weight despite the Mexican champ’s height advantage. Pacquiao said that he has no problem about climbing weight to face the Mexican. What I think also is Margarito agreed the catch weight of 150 because this is the fight he really wants to happen with, and he really wants to fight Pacquiao. And also, it is also good money for him; this will be his biggest payout in his career. Another advantage is having two fighters under one promoter Top Rank. There are many ingredients in the fight mix that create a mega fight, and the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight features a number of elements that should make this one a classic. There is enough of a difference in styles to make this something special. Who knows how this fight would have played out 4 years ago, but right now both fighters still possess superior speed and boxing technique, Pacquiao has speed, footwork, punching power, and aggressive boxer puncher who will come forward, and Margarito is big, strong, good punching power, tough and determined. They must be on a collision course to fight as the hype, pressure and expectation for the two to meet up is building up, that the money involved would be good also to ignore. Boxing fans are now excited to watch Pacquiao vs Margarito this November. Stay tuned!

Pacquiao vs Margarito on November 13

Pacquiao vs MargaritoThe unexpected fight happens but the expected fight never happen. That is why my colleagues told me “expect the unexpected”. When Top Rank promoter Bob Arum confirmed the Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao will face Mexico’s Antonio Margarito on November 13. Over the last year or so the interest that has surrounded this possible bout has been unseen in the boxing world for a long time; we all want to know how Lost will end, but absolutely everyone wants to know who will come out on top in this battle. I've spent the last few days studying both fighters, from Pacquiao's fights with Cotto and Clottey, the suspension of license of Margarito caught using illegal hand wraps, to Floyd's unanimous decision over Mosley and a dramatic win of Cotto against Foreman. I’ve picked apart their styles and finally managed to conclude my thoughts on this fight. Not everyone will agree with my thoughts, but that is boxing and that is what makes this fight so interesting. Arum said that Manny Pacquiao picked Margarito over Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto, whom Pacquiao pummeled in the 12th round last November, because it would be a more challenging fight than fighting Miguel Cotto in a rematch and they see it not marketable anymore. Pacquiao will face Margarito for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) junior middleweight championship in Las Vegas if the Mexican is able to get a license to fight in Nevada. And if Pacquiao beat Margarito, he will become the 1st boxer to win 8 world titles in 8 divisions. As we all know, the contrast in style between the two fighters is huge, with Manny being a gung-ho offensive master and Margarito is big, strong chin, aggressive style, good punching power, good offensive skills, tough and determined. This clash of styles is what's making this possible bout so interesting and hard to predict. Both fighters have their flaws and both fighters have had trouble against similar fighters to each other. I'm going to stick my neck out and say how I think this fight is going to pan out, some of you may already know who I'm backing for this fight but I think it's important that everyone backs up their predictions with thoughts and reasoning. I'm not going to pick a winner, or a result, who knows how things will turn out in the ring on November 13, 2010, but all the ingredients are there for this Pacquiao vs Margarito mega-fight, now its all up to the two men, Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito when they step into the ring to give us something we've seen in the past and bring it back to the present. Anyways, this scheduled bout will be aired on HBO PPV.
