November 13 is the date to remember if you talk about boxing, as Manny Pacquiao meet Antonio Margarito at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium for the vacant WBC super welterweight championship title. The Filipino boxing champ will be facing his biggest opponent in 15 years of his professional boxing career. Manny Pacquiao only stands 5'6.5" tall while his Mexican-American counter stands 5'11" an advantage that Margarito could enjoy during their fight. Margarito has also a reach advantage of 73" against Pacquiao's 67" inches. However, Pacquiao remains the favorite to win this year's biggest boxing event despite Magarito's huge advantage in height and reach.
"In my 15 years of professional boxing, I will be fighting in my heaviest weight and for the first time I will try and hope to win in this new weight division", Pacquiao said.
Pacquiao is a seven times world Champions in seven different weight classes, a feat that only Pacquiao did. If Pacquiao win in this super welterweight division fight, he will solidify his supremacy in boxing along with the elite members of boxing's Hall of Fame.
Pacquiao and his entourage have just joined Antonio Margarito and his team in New York for the second leg of his press tour.
On Friday they will proceed to Texas for the last leg of the promotional tour. Pacquiao will fly to Los Angeles before going back to Manila to attend to his congressional duties as a neophyte congressman.
The reigning WBO welterweight champion will start training September 20 with his trainer Freddie Roach who is flying to Manila shortly to prepare for Pacquiao's rigorous training.
Pacquiao vs Margarito is on November 13, 2010. Don't miss to watch it live via ppv.
