Margarito's Trainer: "Antonio May Stop Pacquiao Late!"

By Lem Satterfield, BoxingScene.com, Tue, 27 Jul 2010

Robert Garcia is a rising star in the world of training. Garcia's stable of clients is growing by the month. On November 13, one of Garcia's fighters, Antonio Margarito, will face the biggest challenge of his long career when he steps in the ring with Manny Pacquiao for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title.
Margarito will begin training in the first week of September. Garcia is planning a ten week camp to get Margarito in proper form for the fight. There will be a catch-weight of 150-pounds, which Garcia says will not be a problem for Margarito. According to Garcia, the "Tijuana Tornado" was at the junior middleweight limit two weeks before his last fight with Roberto Garcia.
"I believe that the fight will be at a catch-weight of 150 pounds, and 150 is no problem for Antonio. The last time he came in to camp, he was 12 pounds over where he had to fight, which was 154. Two weeks before the fight, he was already on weight," Garcia said. "So he had no problem making that weight. So he will be a very strong fighter in there against Manny Pacquiao."
